Terms of Service

Last updated: March 2026

Welcome to Davenen. By using our website or app, you agree to these terms. They are written in plain language because we believe that is how it should be.

What Davenen Is

Davenen is a free service that matches members of the Jewish community as prayer partners for 40-day Tehillim (Psalms) cycles. Each partner commits to saying a chapter of Tehillim daily for the other person's merit, for categories such as shidduchim, refuah, parnassah, and others.

Your Account

• You need a valid email address to sign up. We use magic link authentication -- no passwords required.
• You may have one active registration per email address per prayer category.
• Please provide accurate information, especially your Hebrew name, since your prayer partner will be davening for you using that name.
• You are responsible for maintaining access to the email address you register with.

Using the Service

We ask that you:

• Use Davenen respectfully and in the spirit it was created -- to help Jews daven for one another
• Provide truthful information when registering
• Make a genuine effort to pray for your partner during your cycle
• Do not use the service for spam, harassment, or any purpose unrelated to prayer

Prayer and Outcomes

Davenen is a tool to facilitate prayer partnerships. We make no guarantees about the outcomes of prayer. Tehillim is a meaningful spiritual practice, but the results are in Hashem's hands, not ours. Davenen is not a substitute for professional medical, legal, financial, or other advice.

Content

The Tehillim text used in the service is in the public domain. User-submitted content (such as testimonials) may be displayed on the site with your permission. We reserve the right to moderate or remove any content that is inappropriate.

Termination

• You can remove yourself from Davenen at any time through your dashboard or by contacting us.
• We may remove accounts that violate these terms, are used for spam, or are otherwise misused.
• If you are removed while in an active match, your partner will be notified and placed back in the matching queue.

Limitation of Liability

Davenen is provided "as is" and free of charge. We do our best to keep the service running smoothly, but we cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability. We are not liable for any damages arising from the use of or inability to use the service. This is a community project built with love, not a commercial enterprise.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. If we make significant changes, we will note the updated date at the top of this page. Continued use of Davenen after changes means you accept the new terms.
