## What is Messianic Jewish Calendar?

Welcome home to the calendar of Scripture.

Messianic Jewish Calendar is a warm, simple companion for Messianic Jewish believers and Christians who love the appointed times. Everything you need to walk through the year in rhythm with Scripture - Shabbat, the chagim, and the weekly Torah reading - in one beautifully illustrated app.

SHABBAT TIMES FOR YOUR LOCATION
See accurate candle-lighting and havdalah times calculated for exactly where you are. Turn on the gentle Friday reminder and you will never be caught off guard as the sun goes down. All times are calculated right on your device.

WEEKLY TORAH PORTION - WITH BRIT CHADASHA
Follow the weekly parashah with its Haftarah reading, plus suggested Brit Chadasha readings that connect the portion to the life and words of Yeshua the Messiah. Book names appear in their Messianic Jewish form - Yochanan, Mattityahu, B’resheet.

EVERY CHAG, AT A GLANCE
Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Chanukah, Purim, Passover, Shavuot and more - see upcoming holidays with their dates and start times, plus alerts a few days before each one so you can prepare.

BLESSINGS & PRAYERS
A full Brachot & Tefillot section: Shabbat candle lighting (with a Messianic version), hand washing, HaMotzi, Kiddush, Shehecheyanu, Havdalah, the Shema with simple instructions, the blessing over children, Eshet Chayil, the Aaronic benediction, and a Messianic prayer for the sick - each with Hebrew, transliteration, and English.

CHALLAH FOR SHABBAT
A complete honey challah recipe with step-by-step braiding help and the beautiful meaning behind the two loaves.

HEBREW + GREGORIAN CALENDAR
Browse any month with Hebrew and Gregorian dates side by side, with Yom Tov and Chol HaMoed days clearly marked. Watch the year unfold and see how the appointed times fall on your everyday calendar.

MY HEBREW BIRTHDAY
A little gift: enter your birth date and discover your Hebrew birthdate - and the Torah portion that was read the week you were born.

MADE WITH CARE
- Joyful illustrated design with bold, easy-to-read text
- Completely free, with no ads
- No account needed. Nothing to sign up for
- No data collection - everything is calculated on your device
- Your location is used only on your device to compute sunset times; it is never transmitted anywhere
- Gentle local notifications for Shabbat and holiday reminders

Messianic Jewish Calendar is a free gift from the Anointed Messianic Jewish Network, a small ministry that loves helping believers keep the appointed times. If the app blesses you, there is an optional link inside to support the ministry - but the app is, and will always be, free for everyone.

"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy."
