JEWISH STUDIES IN THE DIGITAL AGE GEBUNDEN

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 (C²DH) 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.
