Prayer prep has many different techniques to help you better connect to prayer. This app is meant to get you in the mindset before prayer. On the app there are many different tabs to click on so everyone can find what helps them connect the most! First we have a complete siddur with the standardized text and you can click each prayer to get a further explanation on those words. There are also key words so you can know what to expect when you click on the text. Then we have a tab called notes where you can write what you are feeling to get your thoughts out before prayer. There are guidelines for you to use to gather your thoughts or you can write freely. The next tab we included a music playlist. When you click on the music tab it takes you to a playlist for you to enjoy before prayer and get you in the right state of mind. We added a link to a meditation app also for you to be in the right mindset before prayer. There is also a Zmanim tab for you to know the right Halachic times before you pray. We hope you enjoy this all inclusive prayer prep app designed by the SKA JUMP team!
