The app for your congregation

Your shul's own app — so more people show up.

A standalone app under your name on the App Store — your branding, your members only — built to fill the minyan, fill the seats, and fund what you run.

Why your own app

What changes when the whole shul is in one place

Not another calendar nobody opens — the tools that get people into the sanctuary, into the room, and into the work of supporting the shul.

Prayer participation

More people know when to come

The next tefillah sits on the home screen. Daily times and zmanim travel with every member — so showing up is the default, not a text chain.

Minyan, faster

Fill a short minyan before it's too late

When a service still needs people, the app says so. Members see the gap and can step in — instead of the gabbai calling down a list at the last minute.

Events without chaos

Publish once. Know who's coming.

Dinners, classes, and holiday programs live in one place. Members RSVP with a guest count; you see the room fill before you buy the food.

Sponsors & donations

Ask in the moment that matters

Sponsor a kiddush or give a gift from inside the app — when someone is already looking at the event — not weeks later in an email they never opened.

Built around how a shul actually runs

Every screen is there to move a real metric — seats filled, a minyan made, an event managed, a gift received.

Prayer & minyan

So no one misses a minyan

The next tefillah is always front and center, with the full daily davening schedule and zmanim — and a clear signal when a minyan still needs people.

  • Next prayer, always visible
  • "Needs minyan" alerts
Events & RSVPs

Every dinner and program, filled

Shabbat dinners, holiday programs, and classes — members browse what's coming up, RSVP for their family, and you know the headcount in time to plan.

  • RSVP with a guest count
  • See who else is attending
Shabbat & Holidays

Shabbat, always at your fingertips

Candle lighting and havdalah times, the week's parsha, and the full calendar of services for Shabbat and every yom tov.

  • Zmanim for your location
  • Hebrew and Gregorian dates
Community Board

Where members show up for each other

A living bulletin board for announcements, simchas, and real needs — babysitting, a tutor, a job, a table to give away.

  • Post a need or an offer
  • Reply privately in the app
Torah Learning

Torah that travels with them

The weekly parsha, short video shiurim, and articles from your rabbi — organized so learning fits into a commute or a coffee break.

  • A new shiur each day
  • Parsha summaries and sources
Sponsors & donations

Giving when the moment is right

Members sponsor a kiddush or send a gift while they're already in the app looking at the event — no envelopes, no follow-up forms, no friction.

  • One-time or recurring gifts
  • Dedications in honor or memory
  • Every gift tracked in your dashboard
The heart of it

A community united around your shul

More than schedules and announcements — one shared space where everyone shows up for each other.

״כל ישראל ערבים זה בזה״All of Israel is responsible for one another

Help each other

A meal for new parents, a ride to shul, a hand before Shabbat — members see each other's needs and simchas, and answer them.

Learn Torah together

Shiurim, weekly parsha, and learning programs the whole community joins — because Torah grows when it's learned together.

Participate together

RSVP to the dinner, make the minyan, join the program — everyone taking part in shul life, all at the same time.

One shul. One community. One app.

Dani Knyajanski with his wife and their five children
Why I built this

I knew so many faces. I didn't really know the people.

I'm Dani Knyajanski. I live on Long Island with my beautiful wife and our five wonderful kids.

Week after week I sat in the same sanctuary as people I recognized only by face. I wanted for my shul a little of what my family already has: a place where you actually know the people next to you, and you show up for them.

So I started building this for my own congregation, to give myself an opening to connect. If members could find each other — a meal, a ride, a hand before Shabbat — help would happen naturally. That was the idea. iShul grew from there.

— Dani

Private by design

Members only, by invitation

iShul is not a public social network. Your app is a closed space for your community — no one outside the shul can see your members, your board, or who's coming to dinner.

Invite code
Issued by your shul · No code, no way in

Access by invite code

Downloading the app isn't enough. A member gets in only by entering a code your shul gave them — so the app stays your community, and only your community.

Members see only members

Posts, needs, simchas, and who's attending are visible inside your shul alone — never public, never searchable on the web, never shared with another community.

Your list, your control

Issue codes to new families and remove access for anyone who leaves — all from your dashboard, so the membership is always yours to decide.

Every member also verifies their own phone number when they join, and each shul's community is kept completely separate from every other.

You're always in control

Every iShul app comes with a simple web dashboard — and if you'd like, we'll design your shul a beautiful, modern website to match.

Included with every app

Your content dashboard

Update events, prayer times, announcements, and classes from one simple dashboard — and see donations and sponsorships as they arrive. No technical skills needed: change it once, and the whole community sees it instantly in the app.

Common questions

Before you book a call

How the app is yours, what you need to start, and what members actually download.

Is this our shul's own app, or a shared network?

Each congregation gets a standalone app under its own name on the App Store and Google Play. Members of one shul never see another shul's board, events, or directory.

What do we need to send you to get started?

Your logo, colors, and a first pass at prayer times and upcoming events. We handle branding, store listings, and setting up the dashboard.

Can we keep the website we already have?

Yes. The app stands on its own. A matching site is optional — website only or the app-and-website bundle — if you want one brand across web and mobile.

Do we need someone technical on staff?

No. The dashboard is meant for a gabbai, rabbi, or office manager. We walk them through it before launch.

What do members actually download?

Your shul's app, by your shul's name, from the Apple App Store or Google Play. They enter an invite code you issued. There is no shared iShul member app.

Does a small shul get a smaller app?

No. Every congregation gets the same app — prayer, events, board, learning, and giving. The difference is your branding and your content, not a lighter feature set.

Do you give tzedakah?

Yes. We set aside 10% of our profits — maaser from what we earn, not an extra charge on your shul.

$99 a month or $999 a year — see pricing. We give 10% of our profits to tzedakah.

Ready for an app of your own?

Pick a time that works for you — no obligation. We'll walk you through the app and talk about what your community needs.

Not ready for a meeting? Shoot us a question.

Ask anything — price, timeline, what your shul would need to get started. We'll write back.

One quick “I’m not a robot” check, and it’s on its way.
