Psalm 119 helps you recite Tehillim 119 in memory of a loved one — l'iluy nishmat. Psalm 119 is the great acrostic psalm: eight verses for every letter of the Hebrew alphabet. By tradition, we honor the departed by reciting the verses whose opening letters spell out their Hebrew name, followed by the letters of the word נשמה ("neshama" — soul). This app builds that personalized selection for you in seconds. HOW IT WORKS • Enter the Hebrew name and the parent's name. • Choose man or woman, and whether to include נשמה. • Tap Generate — the app assembles the exact Psalm 119 verses that spell the name, each section headed by its highlighted letter. NEW — PHONETIC MODE Can't read Hebrew? Read along in transliteration. • Languages: English, French, Spanish. • Traditions (Minhag): Sephardi, Ashkenazi, Edot HaMizrach, Yemenite — so the pronunciation matches your custom (for example kamatz "a" or "o", and "Shabbat" vs "Shabbos"). • Display Hebrew only, phonetics only, or both side by side. ALSO • Adjustable text size for comfortable reading. • Your settings and last name entered are remembered on your device. • Clean, distraction-free layout. PRIVACY Everything stays on your device. There are no accounts, no ads, and no tracking. Information is only ever sent if you choose to email support, and only to help us answer you. May the learning of these verses be a merit for the souls of those we remember.

Perach works out your dates and reminds you: hefsek taharah, seven clean days, mikvah night — following your custom, at the solar times of wherever you are. YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR PHONE Your journal — dates, checks, observations — stays on your device, encrypted and protected by your passcode. We never receive it, so we cannot read it. No ads, no trackers, nothing sold. PERACH GIVES NO PSAK For a doubt, a colour, an unusual situation, the app never answers in a rav's place: it takes you to one. You can write to a rav whose identity has been verified by hand. Your messages are end-to-end encrypted. To write, you identify yourself once (Apple or Google account): your rav does not see your name unless you choose to give your first name, and these details stay sealed; we only access them in the event of a report, abuse or a legal obligation. DISCREET, BECAUSE IT IS PRIVATE You can disguise the text of your reminders on the lock screen, and lock the app with Face ID. On Shabbat and festivals everything falls silent: whatever was due to ring during is announced before it comes in. ALSO INSIDE • Over 2,000 mikvaot worldwide, with map, hours and directions • A travel mode that recalculates your milestones in your destination's time zone • A calendar that shows where you stand at a glance • A week sheet you can print or send to your rav • 29 languages, including Hebrew and Yiddish FREE No subscription, no in-app purchases, no advertising. Perach is a calculation and reminder aid. The dates it shows are estimates based on the custom you chose; they are neither a halachic ruling nor medical advice. Any question of doubt belongs to your rav or a yoetzet halacha.
