Synagogues: an iPhone Synagogue Locator

code, featured, projects

Ron Gejman and I are proud to introduce Synagogues: the premier synagogue locator for the iPhone and iPod Touch (and for the wandering Jew).

Need to find a local Jewish community?
Synagogues uses your current location to find nearby congregations from a database of almost 5,000 shuls. Use the built-in map to get a panoramic view of all the synagogues in your area and choose one based on distance or neighborhood.

Stuck away from home over Shabbos?
Synagogues allows you to search for shuls before you even get to your destination. You can call or email the shul to let them know you’re coming, ask about Shomer- Shabbat accommodations or check what time services start.

Prefer a traditional service? Want an egalitarian minyan?
No problem! Synagogues are listed by denomination.

Prefer a smaller shul? Need to know the Rabbi(s) name(s)?
We have painstakingly collected information ranging from size and leadership to fax numbers, websites, email addresses and more.

Best of all: if you see an inaccurate listing, you can email us from right within the application to let us know.

Help us spread the word and reach all of the lost and confused Jews without a synagogue to call their own.

To download Synagogues, visit our website at http://www.losttribeapps.com/ or search for “synagogues” in iTunes. Don’t forget to tell your friends!

Synagogues was co-developed by Jacob Andreas and Ron Gejman – stay tuned for the next application as we continue to make everyone’s lives (and everyone’s Friday nights) a little bit easier.
