Jewish lifestyle app
Orah isn't a textbook or a siddur. It's a calm, beautiful app that helps you live a little more Jewishly each day: a few mitzvot, a line of wisdom, friends who notice, and a charity wallet that grows with you. Headspace, for Jewish life.
Wake with Modeh Ani, bless, pray, learn, give, be kind, close with the Shema. Orah lays the day out in order and nudges gently at the right time.
Orah locks at candle-lighting for your city and comes back after Havdalah. A forced weekly rest, and streaks that never break on Shabbat or Yom Tov.
Seasonal mitzvot and chag cards appear when they're relevant: Lulav and Etrog, the Sukkah, and more.
Warm cream, soft cards, a breathing flame. No red badges, no guilt. A quiet place in a loud phone.
Every mitzvah earns real donor money for your wallet. Give it to a cause you care about in two taps.
A feed of friends doing good, Shkoyach instead of likes, circles for family and friends.
Orah is used by people who keep everything and by people who are just starting to wonder. It is independent and non-denominational. Every prayer has transliteration, every mitzvah has a one-line why, and nothing is required. If you do one thing a day, you're doing Orah right.
The app opens on Practice: your streak, today's ring, a glowing bonus mitzvah and the day's timeline.
Add mitzvot from the catalogue (Netilat Yadayim, Tzitzit, Mincha, Birkat Hamazon, honouring parents, a five-minute personal prayer) and hide what isn't for you. Set a weekly goal. Choose Ashkenazi or Sephardi texts. Pick light or dark mode. Orah adapts to the Jewish life you actually live, not an idealised one.
Most self-improvement is self-focused. Orah turns personal practice into help for someone else: every mitzvah earns real money for your Mitzvah Wallet, which you donate to charities like Leket Israel, Hatzolah and World Jewish Relief. Your streak feeds families.
