Learn to Daven

About

Understand the prayers you say, one short lesson at a time. Learn to Daven guides you through Shacharit with Hebrew, transliteration and clear explanations. Follow the lesson path with Ari the lion, revisit what you have learned, and build a prayer practice at your own pace. LEARN ONE IDEA AT A TIME Each lesson brings together a short story, Hebrew with nikkud, transliteration, an English translation, explanations and sources. Choose Full or Simple lessons, read a longer teaching, or listen with pause and speed controls. A SIDDUR YOU CAN FOLLOW Explore the weekday morning service in Ashkenaz, Sefard or Edot HaMizrach. Jump to a prayer, return to your saved place, and open the lessons connected to its words. Choose the prayer wording you prefer where supported, and change your preferences in Settings. LISTEN AND LEARN OFFLINE Download available narration for Days 1-46 when you want it. Recordings are optional downloads, so they do not make the initial app download larger. Once installed, they work offline. The app also provides device speech for supported text without a recording.
