Featured project
The practice of interpretation is one of the key features in Jewish learning and teaching. It is the basis of the Jewish canon, as it created an ongoing engagement with ancient texts, forging connections between them, and creating new meanings. Today, there is an increase in number of online platforms that make Jewish history, thought, philosophy, religion, and education more accessible. The goal of this research is to better understand how learners use and experience the collaborative interpretation of Jewish sacred texts through online platforms.
