DESCRIPTION
Baruch Atah Ado...?
Perhaps you dropped out of Hebrew school a little too soon or are learning Hebrew for the very first time.

With just a touch of the finger, this app will recite with you aloud one of 6 blessings of your choice including the blessings over challah, wine, and washing of the hands.

Also included are the prayers of "Modeh Ani" and the "Shema."

The blessings are first said in Hebrew and then translated into English, leaving enough time after each word for you to repeat the blessing.

It is a mitzvah (commandment) for Jewish people to recite blessings before and after eating or drinking. These unique and age-old blessings help one connect with G-d to express thankfulness and gratitude. Now you can say the correct blessings in the original Hebrew wherever you are. Never fumble or mumble a blessing again!

This is the iPhone/iTouch version of our original keychain available at www.SayABlessing.com.

Further expansion needed

It’s a nice idea, but it would only be of use to me if it had the Sephardic pronunciation available as an option. Also, I'd prefer to have speech at a normal speed with a sincere sense of meaning rather than only words being slowly listed as if in a vocabulary test. As for the Shema, I think most people would already know the short part (couple of verses) that is included in this app—including Gentiles like me—but it is the rest of the Shema that I would need help with to complete fully as prescribed.

I do appreciate the guidelines that have wisely been included to not repeat blessings when not needed at the moment in order to avoid the sacred name being used vainly, as well as not operating the iPhone on the Sabbath and other Holy Days.

why does it only use Ashkenazic pronunciation?

Not to nitpick, but i think it should really include the sephardic pronunciation.

Pop

The blessing pops up but hides too quickly for some
to read if not listening to headphones.
