Messianic Prayer App: Siddur in Hebrew with Audio

Why we added it

Bible things in Bible ways

Across the Church, believers are rediscovering the Jewish roots of Christianity. They want to know Yeshua as the Jewish Messiah He is, to pray the Scriptures He prayed in the language He prayed them, and to do Bible things in Bible ways, as the first-century church did.

Messianic Jews and Messianic Gentiles, and many believers who would never use either word, are hungry to pray as Jesus and His first followers prayed: the Shema on their lips morning and evening, the candles lit on Friday night, the Hebrew words of Scripture in their own mouths. PrayerMap's Messianic Prayers add-on was built for that hunger: Yeshua at the center, Jewish and Gentile believers praying together, as in the first-century church.

“Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD is one!”
Deuteronomy 6:4 (NASB95)

Yeshua called this the foremost commandment (Mark 12:29). In PrayerMap it is the first prayer most people learn to say in Hebrew.

The Siddur

A Messianic siddur of 30 prayers and blessings

The PrayerMap Siddur, the prayer book of the Messianic Prayers add-on, holds the daily and Shabbat prayers of Israel and the blessings of the appointed times:

On waking: Modeh Ani, and Shehecheyanu for reaching a new season.
The Shema and the V'ahavta (Deuteronomy 6:4-9).
The Amidah in three parts: the opening blessings, the middle blessings and the closing.
Blessings over food: HaMotzi over bread, Borei P'ri HaGafen over wine, blessings for other foods, and after the meal.
Shabbat: the Shabbat candle lighting blessing, Kiddush, the Priestly Blessing and Havdalah.
The feasts: Kiddush for Passover, Shavuot, Sukkot and Yom Teruah, festival candles, the matzah, counting the Omer, the shofar, the sukkah, the lulav, the Hanukkah candles and the Megillah.
Evening: B'yad'cha Afkid Ruchi, a prayer before sleep.
The prayer Yeshua taught, Avinu Shebashamayim, the Lord's Prayer in Hebrew.

Every line is shown three ways: Hebrew with vowel points, a transliteration to pronounce it, and English. The Scripture behind each prayer appears in your own Bible translation, from 13 including the Complete Jewish Bible. Prayers that differ for men and women, such as Modeh Ani and Modah Ani, follow your profile.

Learn Hebrew as you pray

Hebrew prayers with transliteration and audio

The Messianic Prayers add-on teaches Hebrew pronunciation one prayer at a time. Nothing to install, no course to finish: you learn the words you are already praying.

Letter help. Point at or tap any Hebrew letter to see its name, its vowel and the sound it makes.
Listen. Hebrew prayer audio recorded for every line, in four voices (George and Itamar, Sarah and Zina), with each word lighting up as it is spoken.
Five speeds. Normal, Medium, Slow and Super slow, plus Word by word.
Word by word. Every word recorded on its own, the way a teacher says it, with a pause to repeat it.
Practice. Say the line into your phone's microphone and each word you said clearly turns blue. This uses your browser's own speech recognition; your voice is not sent to PrayerMap.

Listening speeds in the PrayerMap Siddur
Speed	What you hear
Normal	The line at a natural praying pace
Medium	85 percent of normal speed
Slow	70 percent of normal speed
Super slow	60 percent of normal speed
Word by word	Each word on its own, with a pause to repeat

Shabbat

Shabbat, at the right time where you live

PrayerMap's Messianic Prayers add-on knows whether it is morning, afternoon, evening or Shabbat where you are, from your ZIP code or your device's location, and offers the prayer for that moment on your Today page.

Friday afternoon, about two hours before candle lighting, Today turns to Shabbat: the Shabbat candle lighting blessing, the Kiddush blessing over the wine, the Priestly Blessing spoken over the family, and HaMotzi over the bread.
Candle lighting is 18 minutes before sunset where you live, and a Shabbat reminder can arrive 15 minutes before it each Friday.
Saturday night, once three stars are out, the Havdalah blessing closes Shabbat.
The Hebrew date today is shown on every day, and it turns over at sunset.
The weekly Torah portion, Parashat HaShavua, with its Torah and Haftarah readings.

Shabbat times follow your ZIP code or your current location.

The appointed times

The feasts of the Lord, from Leviticus 23

PrayerMap's biblical feasts calendar covers the seven feasts of Leviticus 23, Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, Shavuot, Yom Teruah, Yom Kippur and Sukkot, with Hanukkah and Purim. Each has its own page: what it is, how it points to Messiah, how it is kept, and its blessings and Kiddush, with a notice a week ahead and on the evening it begins.

Every day begins at sunset, so each feast begins on the evening before its first day. First Fruits and Shavuot follow the traditional reckoning (16 Nisan and 6 Sivan), as most Messianic Jewish congregations keep them.

How each feast points to Messiah

Passover. Yeshua kept this Passover with His disciples and gave the bread and the cup new meaning. He is our Passover lamb, sacrificed for us.
Feast of Unleavened Bread. Leaven pictures sin. Yeshua is the sinless bread of life, and we are called to keep the feast with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
First Fruits. Messiah has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep. His resurrection is the pledge of the whole harvest.
Shavuot (Pentecost). On this very feast the Holy Spirit was poured out in Jerusalem, and three thousand were added in a day.
Yom Teruah (Rosh Hashanah). The Lord Himself will descend with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Messiah will rise first.
Yom Kippur. Messiah entered the holy place once for all, through His own blood, having obtained eternal redemption.
Sukkot (Tabernacles). The Word became flesh and dwelt, literally tabernacled, among us. On the great day of the feast Yeshua cried out, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink."
Hanukkah. Yeshua walked in the Temple at Hanukkah, and He is the light of the world.
Purim. God works unseen to keep His promises to Israel. Esther, risking her life to intercede for her people, foreshadows the Messiah who intercedes for us.

Each step shows what it means in Yeshua, who kept this meal with His disciples the night He was betrayed.
What to set on the Seder plate and how to prepare the table.

“This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood.”

Questions

Questions about Messianic Prayers

Is there an app that teaches the Shema in Hebrew?

Yes. PrayerMap's Messianic Prayers add-on shows the Shema line by line in Hebrew with vowel points, a pronunciation guide and English. You can tap any Hebrew letter to see its name and sound, play recorded audio of each line in four voices at five speeds, and practice saying it aloud with your phone's microphone.

Do I need to know Hebrew to use it?

No. Every line has a pronunciation guide and an English translation, every letter has letter help, and every line has recorded audio, including a word by word mode that says each word on its own with a pause to repeat it.

Is the Messianic add-on for Gentile believers too?

Yes. It was built first for Messianic Gentile believers, followers of Jesus who want to pray as Yeshua and the first-century church prayed, and it serves Messianic Jewish believers as well.

Do I have to keep Shabbat or the feasts to use it?

No. The prayers and the appointed times are offered as an invitation to know Yeshua more deeply, not as a requirement. Use as much or as little as you like, and turn the add-on off at any time.

How does PrayerMap know when Shabbat starts?

From your ZIP code or your device's current location. PrayerMap works out sunset where you live and gives candle lighting 18 minutes before sunset. If you allow notifications, a Shabbat reminder arrives 15 minutes before candle lighting each Friday.

Which tradition do the prayers follow?

The traditional Jewish texts, with Messianic forms beside them where Messianic congregations use them, for example the candle lighting blessing that names Yeshua as the light of the world. Where the words are Scripture, the English is the NASB95.

Which Bible translations can I read the Scripture in?

The Scripture behind each prayer appears in the translation you choose in your profile. PrayerMap has 13: AMP, CJB (the Complete Jewish Bible), ESV, KJV, MSG, NASB, NASB95, NET, NIV, NIV84, NKJV, NLT and RSV.

What does the Messianic add-on cost?

The Messianic Prayers add-on is included with PrayerMap at no extra cost for now, on every plan including the free Personal plan.
