Sick of schlepping across town for a good kosher Reuben because you don’t know where else to find one? New to the area and in desperate need of a synagogue? Raise your glasses of Manischewitz and sound the shofar, because the Jewish Resource Locator app will get you to the closest kosher restaurant, temple, or Jewish Community Center faster than you can say ‘gefilte fish.’
Featuring over 5,000 locations across the globe, the Jewish Resource Locator is your most complete geographic guide to Jewish places of interest. Wherever you are, directions to nearby kosher delis, synagogues, and JCCs are right in the palm of your hand. Go on vacation without worrying about finding a place to eat or pray. Make some new friends at a JCC you’ve never visited before. Not Jewish? Not a problem, it’s OK to be curious. After all, a steaming bowl of Matzo ball soup tastes equally delicious to Jews and gentiles alike.
The Jewish Resource Locator database is constantly growing. While the app comes pre-programmed with more than enough locations to keep the average mensch occupied, users are encouraged to submit new locations, comments, and photos directly from their iPhone, iPod, or iPad. Just hit the “Add” button at the bottom of the screen and follow the directions; your submission will be reviewed for accuracy and added within 48 hours. You can also add locations by going to www.mapmuse.com.
