Daily alert: Every day you will receive an alert with the hilula of the righteous for that day and the Hebrew date — at a time of your choosing.

An app that reminds you every day which righteous people have a hilula today, so that you can light a candle, study and pray for the repose of their souls.

1,484 hilulas throughout the year.

What's in the app

• Daily alert with the hilula of the day and the Hebrew date, at a time of your choosing
• Annual reminder for family members' Yahrzeit — alert on the evening before the Hebrew date, every year
• The Hebrew date and the hilula of the day, with automatic transition at sunset
• Full monthly calendar, and search for a righteous person by name
• Home screen widget with the hilula of the day

Entries on the righteous

Clicking on a name opens a short entry, with the date of death and a link to the full source. The text is taken from Torah sources only.

Each entry was matched to the name, and then the original date of death was compared to the date on which the printed calendar places it. A date that does not match invalidates the match. Each entry explicitly indicates how well-founded it is: verified by date, or identified by name only.

Advanced mode

Connection to the Complete Jewish Day:

• Tachanun and Hallel — what is said today and what is not

• Tosafot of the Prayer — the wind returns and brings down the dew, and gives dew and rain, will rise and come, on the miracles and ours

• Haftarah of Shabbat — according to Ashkenazic or Sephardic custom, and with the order of precedence when the two Haftarahs meet

• The sacrifice of the day in the Temple, with the verses
• Segulat and customs of the day and the month
• Toshab As-Shavau, Pirkei Avot, D' Yomi, Kiddush Levena and the Omer Counting

• 13 times of the day, each with the method by which it is calculated

Song of the Day and "To David the Lord Uri" open to the full dotted text, for reading in place.

Every line with its source

Every halachic line in the app bears the sign from which it comes. What cannot be established — does not appear. Therefore, for example, on Yom Kippur, the app says that the customs in the day's song are divided, instead of naming a psalm that has not been proven.

Privacy

The app works without the Internet, and there is no account, advertising or purchases. It uses Firebase Analytics for anonymous usage data (device ID and actions in the app) to improve it. The permissions are for notifications, for restarting after the device is rebooted, and for the network for this data only.

Note

The halachic information is provided for awakening and not for teaching. For actual questions, please contact a rabbi.
