Mizrach is a complete scientific tool that allows you to easily find the Mizrach direction. It was developed by request of one of our clients - an observant Jew. This is what he says:

"We, the observant Jews, pray three times a day wherever we are, always needing to face East. The Hebrew word for "East" is Mizrach, and rooms in Jewish homes and buildings often have a decorative artwork (also called a Mizrach) hanging on that wall to orient folks. It would be WAY COOL if you can write a software to calculate the Mizrach direction based on the sun and/or the moon."

ZeroMinds.com additionally researched the subject and implemented a few other "cool" features, like a database with over 3,000 cities in the world to easily select your current location, several different calculation methods (to calculate the direction based on your personal preference), we added a north icon in case the sun and the moon are not visible and more...

How to use the program:
1. Instantly set your location by picking a city from 3000+ cities available.
2. Orient your device (holding it horizontally) towards the sun, the moon or the north.
3. You are ready to go! You will immediately be able to find the Mizrach direction.


And that is not all! You can try the other calculation settings, read a short description on the different calculation approaches, or visit our web site at www.zerominds.com where you can find a complete article on the subject.
