The first volume of the Encyclopedia of Jewish Book Cultures was recently

and circulating of books.

RAS Roundtable: DH Clinic #4, Implementation of Big Data Tools in Jewish Texts
Analysis
Wednesday, February 16, 2022
9:30AM PT / 12:30PM PT / 7:30PM Israel Time
Presented by Dr. Isaac Hershkowitz & Dr. Leore Sachs Shmueli, Jewish Philosophy
Department, Bar Ilan University.
The presentation will explore new ways to address classical questions of Jewish
studies. We wish to demonstrate how text mining tools can be useful for
“distant” reading of large corpuses and shed light on pivotal, even centuries’
old, questions and challenges of Jewish scholarship
Perplexity regarding authenticity and authorship, spatiotemporal and
interschool transformations of texts and ideas, identification and analysis of
major patterns, concepts, and social shifts reflecting cultural significance.
These are some of the challenges that we attempt to outline and undertake.
Examining methodological challenges and initial findings of Big Data tools in
Jewish studies in this presentation may pave important paths to the future of
the field.
This session is sponsored by AJL’s RAS Division and is open to all members of
AJL. Members only.
