No mantras from another religion. No ritual. No hidden spiritual layer. Just the physiological relaxation response, learned in one 15-minute animation. Always free.

Kosher Calm is a meditation app that meets halachic (Jewish law) standards and is designed to reduce stress. It features a practice rooted in the guidance of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, who in the 1970s urged health practitioners to develop a kosher practice specifically targeting stress. Kosher Calm responds to that call. The app was developed by Rabbi Aryeh Siegel, a former senior executive at Transcendental Meditation, who resigned decades ago over ethical concerns.

There is nothing to study first. The visual animation teaches you the method step-by-step as you follow along. Find a comfortable seat, tap Begin, and let it guide you through a 15–20 minute session.

FOUR DOORWAYS

• Morning Calm: Start your morning before picking up your phone.
• A Stressful Moment: A quick 10-minute session to reset when stress strikes.
• Stressful Day? Unwind: Let go of daily tension and settle your mind.
• Erev Shabbos Reset: Unwind before candle-lighting and arrive at Shabbos fully present.

Includes an open timer for self-paced practice.

FEATURES & HIGHLIGHTS

• Practice Reminders: Set quiet daily nudges for morning, evening, or pre-Shabbos reminders. All settings stay privately on your device.
• Full English & Hebrew Support: Switch languages anytime with the עברית / English button at the top of the screen. Every session, animation, video, and teaching is completely bilingual.
• Guided by the Rebbe's Vision: The Rebbe viewed meditation through a therapeutic lens, a valuable tool for stress relief rather than a spiritual lifestyle. Read these guidelines in the app before you begin.
• What It Is, and What It Isn't: A plain explanation, right on the home screen, of what Kosher Calm is (a kosher, science-based relaxation method) and what it is not (no mantras, rituals, or Eastern spiritual practice).
• Go Deeper: Explore the science of the relaxation response, read book excerpts, and get clear answers to common questions.
• 100% Free for Everyone: Kosher Calm is completely free, with special dedication to active IDF soldiers, reservists, Magen David Adom, Hatzalah, and ZAKA volunteers, and families facing stress or hardship.
