The alarms will ring even in sleep mode, no need for the application to be launched or to leave your iPhone on. Just leave it in sleep mode (preferably connected to the charger).

So at last your iPhone can wake you in time for Shabbat morning prayer. No need to check the time several times at night!

Don’t be afraid to enjoy a nice Shabbatic nap, Shabbat Alarms will wake you up in time for the afternoon prayer.

Use it for anything you want to remember for Shabbat or Yom Tov, you can have up to 64 active alarms.

You have a choice of a short, medium or long alarm sound, it will ring once and that’s it. If your iPhone was in sleep mode, it’s screen will not even turn on – no risk to push something by mistake.

Compare this to the built-in clock application that is unusable on Shabbat because it will ring again and again until you stop it by sliding/pushing on the iPhone (which is forbidden on Shabbat of course).

Notes:
- Requires IOS 4
- This application is using local notifications and thus does not need or use a data connexion.

Tip: – If you are afraid that one ring might not be enough, just create several alarms at a few minutes interval…

Throughout the Rebbe Shlita’s nesius, he has shown a special regard and concern for children. The many children’s rallies and Tzivos HaShem activities demonstrate the great affinity the Rebbe shows for children and the major role they play in his outreach efforts.

Not only has the Rebbe inspired many activities involving children, he has also directed many sichos to them. But children have a great thirst to know, and they want to understand not only the talks directed to them in particular, but everything the Rebbe says. After sitting for hours on Shabbos afternoons, participating in the Rebbe’s farbrengens, and afterwards, the children would ask their parents: “Please tell me what the Rebbe said.” - for more download apps

Rabbi Eli Garfinkel, now calling himself “The App-ter Rebbe,” has announced the publication of a new commentary o  the Torah for Apple’s iOS devices:  iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.

Garfinkel, who previously published the well-received hard-copy Torah commentary “Mikraot Ramah,” for use at Jewish summer camps, now adds “Mayim La-Eidah” to the App Store.

Mayim La-Eidah is a Torah commentary and discussion app to supplement the study of the weekly Torah portion. This current week’s installment includes 23 Divrei Torah (commentaries) on the Torah portion and 17 discussion questions to be used for sermons, adult education, and youth programming.

If reading material on a screen isn’t your cup of tea, or if using these electronic devices doesn’t sit well with you on Shabbat, just tap the “Send Me A PDF” button in the lower-right hand corner. You’ll receive a printer-friendly PDF in your email, and you are free to photocopy it for educational purposes. The commentary includes material for laypeople and professionals alike.

Developer’s Notes:

ZmanimClock is the first clock to run on shaot zmaniot. Sunrise is fixed by convention at 6:00 sAM (seasonal AM), and sunset is fixed at 6:00 sPM. The 12 clock hours between those times can take more or less than 12 actual hours, depending on season and location. But on this clock, the Jewish times are simple as can be: Shabbat always starts at 6:00 sPM, the afikoman must be finished on Pesach by 12:00 sAM, and so on.

“Days of Destiny – the Jewish Year under a chassidic microscope” –

By remembering the events of the past we keep them alive every year. Jewish holidays do not just commemorate historical events; they also have spiritual meanings and messages for all times.

The Lubavitcher Rebbe has been interpreting and articulating those messages for over forty years. The essays in this volume are adaptations of some of the talks of the Rebbe delivered on festivals, Chassidic holidays, fast days and other Jewish days of note.

The essays presented here represent only a fraction of the Rebbe’s thoughts on these topics. From the immense wealth of material available we have chosen one essay for each holiday as a representative sample of the Rebbe’s works.

The essays are arranged in the order of the Jewish calendar beginning from Rosh HaShanah. They include essays on all the Biblical festivals, the Rabbinic festivals, the fast days, special Shabbosim, other days of note such as 15th of Av, the themes of some of the months, and Chassidic festivals. The Chassidic festivals associated particularly with the Rebbe, such as 11th Nissan, have not been included as they would require a separate volume to do justice to such a subject.

The Rebbe’s talks were delivered in Yiddish. These essays, which are both translations and adaptations, of necessity depart from the Rebbe’s literal words. As such, all responsibility for their accuracy is the translator’s.

Yosef Loebenstein adapted and translated the texts from their Yiddish originals. Yosef Yitzchok Turner was responsible for the elegant layout and typography. Rabbi Yonah Avtzon encouraged and supervised the project from inception to conclusion.

May we very soon merit to hear again the Rebbe’s talks in the future Redemption.”

We are living in the Creator’s universe. The world in which we live is synchronized to His calendar and His time clock. Whether we recognize it or not makes no difference. The Almighty does not spin the world around what we do or do not understand.

The Creator’s reckoning of time is clearly detailed in the first scroll of the Hebrew Scriptures. Yet, the western Gentile Christian world has forsaken God’s calendar. Instead, it has adopted a pagan reckoning of time in which every day of the week and month of the year is named after a pagan god or fallen angel. Days, weeks, months, and years all begin at completely fictitious points in time. Those raised within the western paradigm have no idea what time it is. It is as if the hands have been broken from the face of the clock.

The Creator set the sun, moon, planets, and stars in their courses as an elaborate time-keeping device that has not varied since creation. By it we understand His appointed times and seasons, which enables us to live in harmony with Him and His creation.
