What Is This?

A fairly simple Android application to display the zmanim (significant times during the day for Jews).

Why?

In addition to my desire to do a little something with Android, I have a strong desire to do something that may provide some benefit to others.

If You've Read This Far

My 13-year old nephew, Shemuel Reuven ben Yehudit Rachel, lost his battle with cancer on October 21, 2009, just a few short days after celebrating his Bar Mitzvah.

I hope that if anyone is able to use this application, they will think of him.

Sam spent a lot of time at Seattle Children's Hospital during his battle. His care there was world-class, with the most caring nurses and doctors you could ever hope to meet.

I encourage you to make a donation to Seattle Children's Hospital: http://www.seattlechildrens.org/ways-to-help/donate. This is an amazing institution which does fantastic work each and every day.
