Discussions of effective, quality Jewish education are not complete without attention paid to the medium through which it is designed and delivered. Increasingly, this involves new technologies, including computers, telecommunications, video, webcasting, audio files, and more. It is therefore incumbent on the Jewish educational community to encourage the appropriate use of new technologies and multiple media in the creation, delivery, and support of Jewish learning.
This site shows a standard printed Talmud page, with hyperlinks to explore that span many centuries of Jewish religious scholarship, from the Bible to the beginning of the twentieth century. The page can serve us as a port of departure on a voyage through the history of Jewish religious literature.
Clicking on any portion of the image links you to a description of that element of the Talmud page. The description will tell you when and where the text was composed, its contents and purposes, and other interesting information.
This blog reflects on Jewish Education in the 21st Century, as we begin to discover the contextual ramifications of 21st Century life on Jewish learning, practice and living.

MyBatMitzvahStory.org is a project of the Jewish Women's Archive, whose mission is to uncover, chronicle, and transmit to a broad public the rich history of American Jewish women. MyBatMitzvahStory.org was created to provide young women with information about Jewish women role models and a forum to express themselves and their Jewish identities creatively. Though we believe that girls AND boys, women and men, need to know the history of Jewish women, we have started by focusing on bat mitzvah.
This resource from the Jewish Women's Archive features primary documents and lesson plans for Jewish educators. Use these texts and lessons in your classrooms, family education programs, youth group activities, and adult education courses."Go & Learn" is published here on the JWA website. Stay tuned for more editions of "Go & Learn."
