Hello! I am working on my reform conversion journey. As part of living more of a Jewish life, I’d like to be able to have my phone keep track of the Jewish calendar (bonus if it will integrate with my existing Google calendar) so I can see upcoming holidays, candle lighting times in my time zone, etc.
I’d also love it if it could remind me what prayers should be said, and when. Such as adding a morning and evening alarm to say Shema. Stuff I can build on from there.
Here’s where I ran into trouble. The first app I found looked like it was going to be perfect, except when I opened the daily readings or the siddur it was 100% in Hebrew, which I can’t read.
I sought out other options, and found a couple that show me both English and Hebrew options for Torah readings and such.The problem is I spent time with a shul that provided transliterated options. I sang the Shema and the prayers in Hebrew following the letters as closely as I could, and that’s what felt right.
I cant seem to find an app that can help me with this.
Does anyone know of an app (Android) or an e-book where I can read my prayers that way? I’ll get the calendar to just keep track of dates and tell me what to read and just go read it somewhere else if I gotta.
It’s been so long since I’ve been to temple I’m forgetting how the Shema even sounds. 😞
