Presentation for Limmud Vancouver

[Zev Clementson]

Hi all,

I'll be giving a presentation at Limmud Vancouver (http://limmudvancouver.ca) in February. The presentation is "Jewish Texts in the Digital Age". The description for the presentation is:

"With religious observance on the wane, how can traditional Jewish texts be made more relevant, accessible, and usable in the Digital Age? What options are there for using the Web, PCs, iPhones, iPads, and other mobile devices for better understanding, appreciation, and re-mixing of traditional texts with modern usages of these texts? Some examples of innovative uses of technology will be presented."

I have examples of innovative usages of Jewish texts for both religious and non-religious purposes. I'll be mentioning both opensiddur and sefaria in the presentation as well as a number of other web and mobile device applications. I would appreciate any suggestions/examples of innovative usages that I can include in my presentation.

Thanks for any recommendations.

Chag Sameach,
Ze'ev Clementson

Zev,

I'm not sure whether this is relevant to what you're talking about or a tangent, but I would make mention of the archives that give us access to texts we've only heard about (http://hebrewbooks.org/ comes to mind). As a musician, there are even more exciting resources online in archives of old books of chazzanut and Jewish music compositions, and many of the "lost compositions" are coming back into the performance of Jewish music that never would have been accessible to us without massive internet archives from all around the world. For examples, feel free to peruse my website: http://hindatze.com/cantorial-resources/

Best of luck,

Hinda
