New Review: Sefiros iPhone App
Throughout the world, young and old alike enjoy the festive bonfires of Lag B’Omer and the delicious cheesecake of Shavuot. That said, we need to perform the act of Sefiras HaOmer, counting the Omer (all the way from the holiday of Passover to Shavuot), to reach these dates. And yet, understanding the mechanics and spiritual significance of this 49 day period is an ominous task.
Enter the new iPhone App called Sefiros!
This App is based on the bestselling book Sefiros, from the acclaimed author and community leader Rabbi Yaacov Haber. As an aside, I was privileged to briefly meet Rabbi Haber in person at last year’s Kishor Social Media Conference where we both lectured. From his remarks it was clear to all, that he is both a revered scholar—as well as someone who is keenly aware of and in use of the technological tools that we are afforded in 2011. Hence, it is only fitting that he created an App that does more than simply helps one count the Omer. In fact, Sefiros seems to continue where the book left of in that it provides daily Kabbalistic insights as well as alerts that allow the user to discover and implement the unique spirituality found in each day of the Omer!
I’ve tested this App the past couple of days and found that from design to content the Sefiros App really shines!
Unfortunately, there are some Apps out there in which the user experience is outright sloppy. I’m pleased to report that the Sefiros App is beautifully designed and is easy to use. Plus, it features a useful reminder to count the Omer complete with the text of the proper blessing. It even automatically adjusts to your timezone and location. This function is useful for anyone who may find themselves traveling on business or the like but still doesn’t want to get confused with what day of the Omer to count. What’s more, in line with today’s web 2.0 world that we live in, the App will allow one to share on Facebook and Twitter!
Best of all, the Grow version of this App, allows one to truly actualize this special time period. One can set various alerts that will remind a person to perform or be conscious of actions with G-d, their spouse or even to work on a character trait. In so doing, despite the busy world that we live in, one can have an App to help them not only with their physical health (such as LoseIt) but with their spiritual wellbeing as well!
If you are looking for some meaning after Passover or simply want to finally understand the Omer, I recommend you download the Sefiros App.

一个军官叫勤务兵去河边取水喝。勤务兵去了一会，很快就空手回来了： 报告长官，河里有条鳄鱼！ 军官说： 不用怕！其实鳄鱼看见你也害怕，而且比你更害怕。 勤务兵说： 报告长官，那样的话，河水就不能喝了。 鳄鱼害怕了会怎样？哈哈再水里撒尿。。。。。

Adidas emphasized “the climate inside the shoes” concept, and it aimed at the Colima Cool 360degree breathable technology can pass through the penetration of airflows in sports, and then form a round air circulation system inside the shoes. It turns out that the excessive moisture inside the shoes is the main reason for runners’ injuries and skin diseases. Colima Cool 360degree breathable technology is the best way to solve these problems. It can effectively reduce the humidity and temperature inside the shoes, reduce the occurrence of injury and inflammation, and prolong the exercise time.
In short, overtraining has given these salespeople the tools and the confidence not to question themselves. Therefore, their “choke response” is on permanent mute. Any (over)training this salesperson’s firm has invested in is paid back many times over, which creates resources for more training. Which develops more high ROI salespeople. And so on.
