The Vayavinu App
Click below to download the Vayavinu app. Inside the app are multiple downloads - some free and some paid.
Most of the apps contain an option for both Havarah Sefaradit and Havarah Ashkenazit, and some of them have English translations. The English for the Biblical books is based upon the 1917 JPS translation, with minor modifications (mostly reordering phrases so that the English will correspond to the Hebrew). See below for more complete information about the currently available downloads and anticipated updates. Please also see below for some important information about the download process.
These apps were developed together with Noam Annenberg.
Important Information about Downloading
To download an app, click on the download symbol on the top right of the box. For the paid downloads, the download symbol should appear in place of the lock symbol once the purchase is completed.
Sometimes, the symbol may not show up immediately upon purchase. If this happens, go up one level (in the case of submenus) or close the app completely, and then the download symbol should appear when you start the app.
If you uninstall the app, your record of your purchases will still remain. When you reinstall it, you will be prompted with a button to refresh your downloads. The download symbol should then appear for all previous in-app purchases.
