Daily Light support.

Daily Light is a daily Torah study app from Jewish Wisdom for Life. Each day it offers a short, bite-size lesson from the traditional cycles: Chumash with Rashi, Tanya, Rambam, Mishnah, Halakhah, and Tehillim. Finish lessons to earn XP and build a streak. There is no account to create, and the texts come from Sefaria.

Common questions

The app shows the wrong day or the wrong portion.

Daily Light uses your device’s date and time zone and moves to the next day’s portions at midnight, local time. (The Jewish calendar day itself begins at nightfall, so between nightfall and midnight the app still shows the earlier civil date’s portions.) Check that your phone’s date, time, and time zone are set automatically in Settings. If you travel between time zones, close and reopen the app so it picks up the new date. If the portion still looks wrong, tell us your location and the day, and we will look into it.

The Hebrew is not showing or looks scrambled.

Hebrew is displayed using your device’s built-in fonts, and it needs a recent version of iOS. Make sure your device is up to date, then restart the app. If you see empty boxes or reversed text, send us your device model and iOS version with a screenshot.

Texts do not load when I am offline.

Texts are fetched live from Sefaria, so an internet connection is needed to load a passage you have not opened before. Once you are back online, pull to refresh or reopen the app. Your progress, streak, and XP are stored on your device and are not affected by being offline.

How do hearts and streaks work?

Your streak grows by one for each day you complete at least one lesson, and it resets if you miss a full day. Hearts are lost when you answer a lesson question incorrectly and come back over time; they only affect lesson practice, never your access to the texts themselves. All of this is stored on your device.

How is the daily cycle chosen?

Each study has its own traditional cycle. The Chumash portion follows the weekly parsha with Rashi, divided into daily aliyot. Tanya, Rambam, and Tehillim follow their standard daily cycles, and Mishnah and Halakhah follow a daily schedule as well. Dates come from the Jewish calendar via Hebcal, and texts from Sefaria.

How do I report an error in a text?

Tell us which text and passage you were reading, what looks wrong, and what you expected, by emailing support@jewishwisdomforlife.org. Because texts come from Sefaria, we will check the source and, where the fix belongs there, point it to Sefaria’s editors as well.
