Here’s the text: *Hebrew Book Transcribers Wanted* Do you love Hebrew manuscripts? If so, the MiDRASH project wants you! In 2022, the European Research Council awarded its first ERC Synergy grant of €10 million for a six-year, Israeli-led project to analyze and examine medieval Hebrew manuscripts. MiDRASH – Migrations of Textual and Scribal Traditions via Large-Scale Computational Analysis of Medieval Manuscripts in Hebrew Script - was the first ERC Synergy grant for Jewish studies, as well as for computational manuscripts. The time has now come for hands-on involvement, with 14,000 digital Hebrew books from which to choose. MiDRASH, in collaboration with NLI, is organizing a hybrid "transcribathon" week to take place in Paris <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://trailer.web-view.net/Links/0XF88056B1DC10F5D3B864940C33824D6EA11257D27C914F34050EC7AED43B653609CA9492D358D3AE25EFEFCCE9B7D60571B4FF77A10B339C4543CE6A7269294C3478A8E1C8B0336E.htm__;!!KGKeukY!3zBf0nQmXWTDB_B1l6gFQ9hyljlb8XxbUua3GWAFSfRjyM4fCuy5Jj0fwORGeuI0B1TIJHYFzkEfkH6MZ88q$ > , Jerusalem <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://trailer.web-view.net/Links/0XE2D6B3AFE0E970615BBCBD153C53D46410BC31DAC094D5707D454B4C439AFAF6E168127FA7DC9C3C25EFEFCCE9B7D60571B4FF77A10B339C4543CE6A7269294C3478A8E1C8B0336E.htm__;!!KGKeukY!3zBf0nQmXWTDB_B1l6gFQ9hyljlb8XxbUua3GWAFSfRjyM4fCuy5Jj0fwORGeuI0B1TIJHYFzkEfkGUxhZBW$ >, and online <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://trailer.web-view.net/Links/0X0F3920318ACCD2C6B732CC9D346C28233A555E919C19DBDBC4492E688E043C0C6E3B94A1C7FE429525EFEFCCE9B7D60571B4FF77A10B339C4543CE6A7269294C3478A8E1C8B0336E.htm__;!!KGKeukY!3zBf0nQmXWTDB_B1l6gFQ9hyljlb8XxbUua3GWAFSfRjyM4fCuy5Jj0fwORGeuI0B1TIJHYFzkEfkIBP0d8O$ >, from March 3 through 6 from 10:00-19:00 (Israel time).
