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…

Rummikub®

Rummikub® was invented by Ephraim Hertzano, a Romanian-born Jew, who emigrated to Mandate Palestine in the early 1930s.  He hand-made the first sets with his family in the backyard of his home. The game combines elements of rummy, dominoes, mah-jongg and chess.

Hertzano sold the first sets door-to-door and on a consignment basis at small shops. Over the years, the family licensed it to other countries and it became Israel’s #1 export game. In 1977, it became a bestselling game in the United States.

In Hertzano’s ‘Official Rummikub Book’, published in 1978, he describes three different versions of the game: American, Sabra and International. Modern Rummikub® sets include only the Sabra version rules, with no mention of the others, and there are variations in the rules between publishers.

The game was first made by Lemada Light Industries Ltd, founded by Hertzano.

You can now play Rummikub® on your iPhone and iPod Touch. The unique combination of tactical thinking, luck and tense competition has made this classic family game one of the most successful puzzle games for the past 50 years. Arrange the tiles to create the smartest color and number combinations. Play against 4 computer opponents and choose between 3 difficulty levels. Will you be the first who will have placed all tiles?

Rummikub® Game Features:

• Official game rules.
• Single player against four computer opponents.
• Three levels of difficulty: Beginner, Intermediate & Advanced.
• Auto tile sorting color, value or sets.
• Adjustable time limit per turn; 1, 2 or 5 minutes or no time limit.
• Auto save game.

That’s where WDW Tour Guide comes in. Whether it’s your first visit or your 500th, WDW Tour Guide will tell you what you need to know, from ride restrictions and accessibility, to where you can find food that will satisfy everyone.

WDW Tour Guide provides information on attractions and dining at all four major parks at the Walt Disney World Resort and is frequently updated to reflect changes in the parks, so you always have up-to-date information on ride and restaurant closures, special events, and more.

Key Features Include:

• Attraction accessibility information
• Attraction restrictions
• Attraction lengths
• Expected wait times
• Attractions and restaurants sorted by park area
• Vegetarian and kosher meal information
• Disney Dining Plan information
• Information on special park events
• Images of attraction and dining location entrances

What’s New In Version 4
This version adds the ability to display images of dining locations and attractions. Each attraction and dining location may be accompanied by an image of the entrance area to help guests to Walt Disney World locate the desired attraction or dining location while in the park.
Images are updated, like the guide text, and downloaded over the Internet whenever the resort changes so that WDW Tour Guide stays up-to-date.
Note that no images are included with the app when downloaded from the App Store, so images will not appear until you download them to your iPhone or iPod Touch after installing this update.
