Seven clean days reminders, right in WhatsApp.
Send Tohar the date of the sighting, and it works out the hefsek tahara, the seven clean days and mikvah night by your minhag. Every day a bedika reminder arrives, and you answer with one tap: "Clean" or "Found a stain".
Free to use. For women living in Israel.
One cycle, step by step
The same cycle as on the calendar. Sign-up takes about two minutes: language, name, minhag, waiting days and reminder times.
-
1 Kislev
The sighting
Send Tohar the Hebrew date, in English or Hebrew, for example "1 Kislev 5787". If it was after sunset, Tohar asks and counts from the next day.
-
5 Kislev
Hefsek tahara
In the morning you get a message: "Today is hefsek tahara day." After the bedika you update Tohar from the menu, and it sets the seven clean days.
-
6–12 Kislev
Seven clean days
A bedika reminder arrives at the time you chose: morning, evening, or a set time before sunset. You don't have to be reminded every day; you can choose, say, day 1 and day 7 only.
-
If there is a stain
The count starts again
Tap "Found a stain" and confirm. The count resets and Tohar waits for a new hefsek. Any question about a stain is for your rav.
-
11 Kislev, Shabbat
Shabbat and Yom Tov
No messages. After Shabbat, Tohar asks how the bedikot it couldn't remind you about went.
-
Night of 13 Kislev
Mikvah night
On day seven you get a message about mikvah night. After immersion you confirm, and the cycle is saved to your history.
Also
Your minhag
Ashkenazi or Sephardi, four or five waiting days, by your minhag. The evening reminder can be at a fixed time or 60, 90 or 120 minutes before sunset.
Late reports
Forgot to report a sighting, or missed a few days? Tohar asks where you are and carries on from there.
What is stored
Dates and the result of each bedika: clean or stain. Your phone number and name are encrypted, and message text is not kept. You can delete everything from the menu.
History
Every cycle is saved and can be sent to you as a file.
Questions
Do I need to install an app?
No. Tohar is an ordinary WhatsApp number. Send "Hello" and sign-up starts in the chat.
Does it work outside Israel?
Not yet. Reminder times, sunset and Shabbat all follow Israel time, so for now Tohar is for women living in Israel.
How do I enter dates?
Use the Hebrew date, written in English ("24 Sivan 5785") or in Hebrew ("כד סיוון תשפ״ה").
I missed a few days of replies.
When you come back, Tohar asks about each missing day, one at a time, to make sure there was no stain.
Does Tohar calculate onot prisha (vestot)?
No. Tohar covers the hefsek, the seven clean days and mikvah night. For vestot, ask your rav or use a dedicated calendar.
Does Tohar replace asking a rav?
No. It helps you remember and count. Any halachic question goes to a rav or a yoetzet halacha.
What does it cost?
Tohar is free to use.
How do I stop?
Write "stop" and the reminders end. Deleting all your data is in the menu.
Is Tohar a medical service?
No. It is a reminder service for family-purity observance by the Hebrew calendar. It does not diagnose, give medical advice or sell anything.
Ready to start?
Send "Hello" and sign-up starts in the chat. It takes about two minutes.
Tohar is not halachic or medical advice. For any halachic question, ask a rav.
