Access Bet Torah’s Advanced Digital Resources
Bet Torah has the most advanced digital library and research resources of any synagogue, anywhere.
We have recently completed the implementation of internet based capabilities that allow members of our community access to a huge library of Jewish sources. This includes not only our own library of more than 4,000 books, but also the huge capabilities of the Judaic Digital Library (JDL).
JDL contains books covering all aspects of Jewish history, philosophy and literature. It also houses a large number of children’s books. With JDL access, you will be able to read any of this vast collection of books online from any internet-connected device.
Whether you are researching a Jewish topic, want to read one of the classics of Jewish literature, writing a D’var, or just want to spend some leisure time browsing through our digital library, this new capability provides a unique resource for the Bet Torah community.
