"The Jewberry" Helps Tech-Savvy Jews Pray Via PDA (Some Jews pray three times a day using a PDA)
WNBC ^ | Mon, Nov 3, 2008

Thousands of observant Jews around the world are praying three times a day -- using their PDA.

A software program for BlackBerry PDAs combines Hebrew prayers and technology, the brainchild of two entrepreneurs who attended New York's Yeshiva University.

They dubbed it "the JewBerry" -- a $30 program that provides texts of daily prayers instead of the traditional, printed book.

SNIP

Among JewBerry users is the president of Yeshiva University, Richard Joel.

"I love it, because now I can not only look how the market is doing, but I can also say my evening prayers," he says, adding that "at the heart of what Yeshiva is about is the notion that it's not our technology that informs civilization; it's our values."

Any word on the development of a Catholic Hail Mary Berry?
