Thousands of observant Jews around the world are praying three times a day - using their BlackBerry handheld devices.
A software program for BlackBerries combines Hebrew prayers and technology, the brainchild of two entrepreneurs who attended New York's Yeshiva University.
The program, which provides texts of daily prayers instead of the traditional, printed book, has been dubbed the JewBerry.
The program is not linked to Research in Motion Ltd., maker of the BlackBerry.
Throughout the day, Jews gather in office-building stairwells and conference rooms to pray, and while sometimes you might not remember your prayer book, no one goes anywhere without their BlackBerry, says co-creator Jonathan Bennett, of Cedarhurst, Long Island.
