Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, the Alter Rebbe, famously stated that we must "live with the times," thereby experiencing the teachings of the Torah related to each day of the year. Every day of the Jewish calendar has a unique meaning.

The calendar is the master key to unlock the hidden rationale behind the formal structure of ancient sacred texts, as well as to understand basic mystical concepts. When comprehended within the context of the Jewish calendar, these works reveal the spiritual energy of each day, serving as a practical guide for self-analysis and development.

During this daily journey, we learn to live with greater harmony, happiness and gratitude — from the Kabbalah, from age-old Jewish ethical teachings, and even from animals. The objective is to be in touch with the spiritual powers of each day, thereby improving one's daily conduct and rediscovering the universal song within each one of us: the song of the soul.

Below, each card opens with the Kabbalistic structure that defines it, and carries beneath it the text that structure measures. Most are built on the week — the Torah's weekly Parasha, or the Omer's count of weeks — layered with shorter and longer spans: 13 attributes, the 22 letters, the Rambam's 28 days, 40 days of receiving the Torah, the 72-fold Name, the four seasons of 91 — each one a single running and returning around its own heart — and the full 364-day year. Ma'alot HaZman above does the reverse, spiraling the whole year upward through the hours of a single day. Tap the ⓘ at the corner of any card to learn what its cycle means. All converge on this moment, each adding its own spiritual dimension to today.

Alongside the readings runs the day's prayer. Each Sefirah carries one — Hitbodedut in Keter, Shacharit in Tiferet, Mincha in Hod, Maariv in Yesod, Kri'at Shema in Malchut, and so through all ten. The prayer whose hour has come pulses gently in the card until it is said; marking it turns it red, and a heart in the Now card fills as the day's ten accumulate. Whole, it carries both verses at once: ואהבת את ה׳ אלוקיך בכל לבבך and ואהבת לרעך כמוך — for as the Baal Shem Tov taught through the Maggid and the Alter Rebbe, loving your fellow is the commentary on loving Hashem, since what one loves in him is the part of God Above within him.

The day itself traces a lunar month. Fifteen ma'alot — steps — descend with the light from Keter to Malchut as the moon in the clock above waxes to fullness, when "the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun" (Isaiah 30:26); then fifteen steps of listening return from Keter to Malchut as the moon wanes and makes itself small — doing, then hearing: נעשה ונשמע. Tap the moon at any time to see Today's Path.

• Use ‹ › to move a day at a time, or jump to date ↗ to go straight to any date.
• Tap any card below — Keter, a Sefirah, Malchut — to expand it for the full texts and source links; tap ⓘ at a card's top-right corner to learn what its cycle means.
• Each card opens with its own structure — where today falls in its cycle — and beneath it, under a ✦ heading, the text that cycle is measuring. The linked title opens the source.
• Each Sefirah carries one of the day's ten prayers, in the left margin beside its hours. The one whose hour has come pulses until it is said; tap it to mark it, and tap again to undo. They may be marked in any order — unlike the ma'alot, each prayer has its own time.
• The heart in the Now card fills as those ten accumulate, and glows when the day's prayers are whole.
• Tap a step on Ma'alot HaZman — the spiral of the year above — for that week's theme, animal, and teaching.
• Tap the gold מעלה tags in order (א׳–ט״ו, Keter down to Malchut) to fill the moon in the clock above; at fifteen it becomes the sun, and its rays remain.
• Then return: the מיעוט tags (א׳–ט״ו) inside the expanded cards mark fifteen steps of listening from Keter down to Malchut — the moon wanes as you go, completing a month in a single day. The descent must be taken in order, each step the vessel for the next, and so must the return — which cannot begin until the moon is full. A little is a step: a few lines of the Chumash, a page opened, a shiur begun. The order is what is asked for, not the measure.
• Tap the moon itself for Today's Path — all thirty steps in order, your next one highlighted; tap any row to jump straight to it.
• Two lights fill the cards: ✦ marks the counted path — the thirty steps of מעלה and מיעוט, light drawn inward (Or Pnimi); ✡ marks the surrounding light (Or Makif) — companion texts, resources, and the Rebbeim, which accompany the day but stand outside its thirty steps.
• Tap any ✡ — six-pointed, a Magen David — to gather it as a star, and the count beside the moon rises. The stars have no total to reach: what is on offer changes with the day, so the count says how many you reached, never how many you missed.
• The Weekly Journal keeps the accounting. Each day it reports what was actually marked — the thirty steps, the ten prayers, the stars gathered — and The Year lays all 364 days out at once, a column to a week, so nothing is lost at midnight.
• Badges like "Week 40 · Day 4" show where you are in that section's own cycle; the linked title beside them opens the full source text.
• Gevurah's season reads Ratzo for its first forty-five days and Shov for its last — running in toward the season's Heart on day 46, then returning out. Nothing is divided between the halves; only the direction changes. Winter's Heart falls on Tu B'Shvat, the day the sap turns.
• Around Rosh Hashana two Kabbalah of Time years overlap; the year pills under the date switch between the one closing and the one begun. Netzach's cycle of 369 runs five days longer than the year, so on the first days of a cycle it offers its own toggle to reach days 365–369 of the one still finishing.
• Fixed Hours vs. Sha'ot Zmaniyot switches the day's sefirah-times between standard clock hours and halachic "proportional hours" for your chosen city.
• Under the title sit two small settings for reading. Contrast / Soft switches the page between the darker, more legible grade and the warmer one — Contrast is the default; both are readable, Soft is simply gentler on the eye. A / A+ / A++ sets the size of the text. Both are remembered.
