Rzman: Ruby Zmanim

RZman is a Ruby CLI Gem that will deliver to you the זמנים(zmanim), daily Jewish prayer times and הדלקת נרות(hadlakat nerot), candle lighting times for Shabbat based on the U.S. zip code you provide.

The data it provides is scraped from MyJewishLearning.com for candle lighting times and MyZmanim.com for daily zmanim.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rzman'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install rzman

Usage

RZman is a very easy Gem to use. Once you run it you will be prompted to choose from two options and then for a valid U.S. zipcode. The program will provide you with the times you requested and prompt you to either return to the main menu or exit.
