iKaddish Teaches Jewish Mourner's Prayer

Davka Corporation has announced the release and immediate availability of iKaddish 1.0 for iPhone and iPod touch. iKaddish is a tutorial program that teaches the recitation of the Kaddish, the mourner's prayer that is recited in the synagogue. The Kaddish prayer is written in Aramaic, and its pronunciation and intonation can be difficult to master.

iKaddish displays the text of the Kaddish in the original Aramaic and English transliteration, and chants the text, highlighting each word as it is pronounced. Users can pause after each screen, tap and listen again, or go forward to the next section. iKaddish includes the text and audio of the Mourner's Kaddish, as well as the longer Rabbis' Kaddish, in both Sephardic and Ashkenazic pronunciations.

iKaddish also contains an explanatory section about the Kaddish that includes the English translation, as well as additional information about its recitation. The recitation of the Kaddish is one of the primary ritual observances of Jewish mourning practice, and is recited by mourners during each of the three daily services in the synagogue.


Pricing and Availability:
iKaddish 1.0 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Lifestyle category.
