Dear all,
some time ago I started a project MikvaTime.com.
It was initiated this project on demand from my wife, who asked me to create an universal tool, which would help her to calculate “clean” days.

Jewish calendar calculation in PHP
I wanted to give a credit to Ulrich and David Greve for their great scripts which help to integrate Jewish Calendar in PHP.
Here you can see the source code and wonderful explanations.
First I used these scripts on Dvinsker.lv site. It took me some time to translate scripts’ output to Russian and Latvian. And I really appreciate the Greves’ documentation on their code.
Then I adopted these scripts for Shamir.lv and Chabad.lv sites.
Now, I work on some new projects, which report not only zmanim, but also Jewish holidays. And these scripts again help in my development.
Great work, guys.

Jewish map of Latvia
0 Comments | Posted by Moishe Beshkin in Reviews
Two years ago, I got an idea to create a Jewish map of Daugavpils (Dvinsk) Latvia. This is my native city and I wanted to mark all the places, which were important for Jews in pre-second-world-war period.
On that time in Daugavpils, there were 43 synagogues and Jewish population was about 30 thousand people.
After some time, I decided to make such map for whole Latvia. I found a support from rabbi Menachem Barkagan and organization Shamir Latvia.
I just started learning php and javascript 3 years ago. So, looking from now, I would do it much better and easier. But still the project is alive and working. So, do not want to change anything there as soon as it is working properly.
Here is the whole map of Latvia with marked cities where are/were Jewish places. Map is interactive and clickable.
Example of City view – Riga.
Check checkboxes to see the markers on the map.
In future I plan to move to JQuery library and use more of ajax technology.
