As in all fields and disciplines of the humanities, Jewish Studies
scholars find themselves confronted with the rapidly increasing
availability of digital resources (data), new technologies to
interrogate and analyze them (tools), and the question of how to
critically engage with these developments. This volume discusses
how the digital turn has affected the field of Jewish Studies. It
explores the current state of the art and probes how digital
developments can be harnessed to address the specific questions,
challenges and problems that Jewish Studies scholars confront. In a
field characterised by dispersed sources, and heterogeneous scripts
and languages that speak to a multitude of cultures and histories,
of abundance as well as loss, what is the promise of Digital
Humanities methods--and what are the challenges and pitfalls? The
articles in this volume were originally presented at the
international conference #DHJewish - Jewish Studies in the Digital
Age, which was organised at the Centre for Contemporary and Digital
History (C(2)DH) at University of Luxembourg in January 2021. The
first big international conference of its kind, it brought together
more than sixty scholars and heritage practitioners to discuss how
the digital turn affects the field of Jewish Studies.
