Kosher electronics give Jewish families access to music, Torah content, and home automation designed specifically to fit within halachic and community standards. At Eichlers, we carry Zing kosher music players and Shabbos-compliant timer switches, suited to daily use, Shabbos preparation, and as meaningful gifts for the whole family.
Zing devices give access to a vast library of kosher Jewish music, podcasts, Torah lessons, and stories in Hebrew, Yiddish, and English, all curated and supervised according to halachic standards by the Zing Vaad HaNegina. Unlike a general smartphone or MP3 player, Zing devices are fully locked to the Zing platform, with no ability to download outside apps, browse the internet, or access content beyond what the platform provides, making them a trusted option for families who want music and content access without the concerns that come with an open device.
The Zing Duo is a compact touchscreen player offering access to thousands of albums and singles, along with a large selection of podcasts, Torah shiurim, and lectures across multiple languages. It connects via WiFi to download content directly to the device, includes a headphone jack and Bluetooth connectivity for use with speakers or headphones, and is designed to look and function like a simple music player rather than a smartphone, with no camera, browser, or app store access of any kind.
Zing Wave is built for users who want kosher content access without depending on a home WiFi network, using built-in eSIM cellular connectivity to connect directly to Zing's content library. The device can be configured to match specific community standards through Zing customer service, including restrictions on certain content categories or disabling WiFi entirely where required, with those settings locked from being changed directly on the device. An active Zing subscription and a separate data plan are required for full functionality.
A Shabbos-compliant timer switch allows lights and other permitted devices to turn on and off automatically according to pre-programmed times, eliminating the need to adjust settings manually before Shabbos each week. These timers are typically pre-loaded with candle lighting and nightfall times calculated for your specific location, automatically adjusting for the changing Shabbos schedule throughout the year as well as Yom Tov and seasonal clock changes, removing the weekly hassle of recalculating times and resetting a standard timer by hand.
A genuinely Shabbos-compliant timer includes a deactivation feature that prevents the switch from being accidentally operated during Shabbos itself, addressing a concern that standard household timers don't account for. This ensures that once set, a light or device remains in its intended Shabbos state for the full day without risk of accidental interference, while still allowing for an emergency override in a genuinely urgent situation. Devices designed with this halachic consideration in mind are generally the preferred choice among families seeking a timer specifically built for Shabbos use rather than a standard consumer timer repurposed for the occasion.
A Zing player is a thoughtful and genuinely useful gift for a child, teenager, or any family member who enjoys music and Torah content, giving access to a vast kosher library in a format parents can trust. A Shabbos timer switch makes a practical gift for a newly married couple setting up their first home, removing one more weekly task from their pre-Shabbos routine.
