The Baal Shem Tov, or Besht —  the founder of Chasidism — 
met the soul of the Messiah during an ascent to heaven. 
The Besht asked him, "When will the Master come?" 
The Messiah answered, "When your wellsprings break forth to the outside!" 
(from a letter written by the Besht to his brother-in-law about one of his soul ascents) 

iPhone OMER COUNT

Get the neohasid iPhone app OmerCount from the App store! Major update for 2010 soon to be released!

David Cooper has created an iPhone app based on the javascript I wrote for the omer widget and implemented an idea I've wanted to do for a long time: in addition to the count and the Sefirah for each day, the Tree of the Sefirot tree appears with a ring around the Sefirah of the week and a circle inside for the Sefirah of the day. The new version will have the count in Hebrew, English and transliteration, and a quote of the day (eventually), and it will change dates according to sunset in your actual location.

Follow the links below to go straight to the App store and install the app. Or just search in the App store under "omer" – you'll find two versions, one free and one paid (the paid one is a small donation to neohasid and to other projects we hope to support).

Here are the links: Free version Paid version Note: Link opens itunes store – it's easiest to follow the link from your iPhone.

Please make a donation if you appreciate this app! Thank you.
