This app requires certain permissions to provide you with the best possible experience:

FOREGROUND_SERVICE and FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PLAYBACK: These permissions are essential for our audio playback feature. They allow the app to continue playing Rabbi Juravel’s Parsha audio even when you're using other apps or your device is locked.

Additionally this permission (if granted) allows for the app to capture the location of a user's device in order to display guest, hosts, or singles near the location of the user.

Creating a Shabbat.com profile on the app also gives you instant access to the online website. This includes our video library, weekly Shabbat recipes, and much more.

So welcome to the world's largest Jewish online community. We will be upgrading and updating the app, as well as the website, regularly in the weeks and months ahead. Please spread the love and rate us 5 stars for unity! We will do our best to keep earning it!
