Birkon 1.0.3

The My Siddur application serves as an essential tool for those engaged in daily prayer, comparable in significance to driver’s education in learning to drive. Included within this resource is the Birkon from Tools for Torah, a beautifully designed, user-friendly, transliterated Hebrew-English Birkon/Bentcher, which features audio to facilitate understanding and recitation of Grace after Meals.

My Siddur functions as a personal prayer coach, providing an accessible and comprehensively transliterated Siddur accompanied by professionally recorded audio CDs. These recordings allow users to chant or sing along, supporting the learning and practice of prayers in their traditional Hebrew form. The current version includes weekday prayers, with plans to incorporate Shabbat and holiday prayers in future updates.

The transliteration employed reflects Israeli/Sephardic pronunciation conventions (e.g., "Shabbat" versus "Shabbos"). Siddur Sheli offers an audio-visual prayer experience where users can see the prayer text and listen to its melodious rendition by Rabbi Chayim B. Alevsky, enhanced by musical compositions from renowned artist Chony Milecky (www.musicbychony.com).

Tools for Torah is actively developing additional applications covering prayers, holiday guides, and educational tools for Chumash studies. Updates and new releases can be followed at ToolsforTorah.com.

The team behind My Siddur plans to introduce enhancements such as synchronized highlighting of words during chanting, creating an immersive learning environment. Contributions and sponsorship opportunities are welcomed—interested parties may contact via [email protected] or call 203-887-6044.
