Chicago--Davka Corporation, in cooperation with the Institute for Computers
in Jewish Life, announces the publication of the CD-ROM Judaic Classics
Library, a collection of the most significant works of Judaism, in
computerized, compact disk format, for the Macintosh computer. The
complete Hebrew texts of the Bible, the Babylonian Talmud, Maimonides'
Mishneh Torah, the Zohar, the Aggadic Midrashim, and Rashi's commentary on
the Pentateuch and Talmud--which in printed form fill thousands of
pages--are now available on a single compact disk, that can be read by any
standard Macintosh, equipped with a CD-ROM drive. The CD-ROM Judaic
Classics Library is the first in a projected series of compact disks
covering the basic works of Jewish law and literature.

Computer compact disks (CD's) utilize techniques similar to those used by
audio compact disks to store vast amounts of data--up to 680 megabytes on
one compact disk. They have become popular in the general computer world,
due to their immense storage capacity. The CD-ROM Judaic Classics Library
is the first Judaic computerized compact disk to be released to the
general public.

The CD-ROM Judaic Classics Library is a boon for scholars, rabbis, and
students--for anyone who needs quick access to the classic works of
Judaism. The search program included with the CD-ROM Library makes it easy
to search for any word or phrase in the various databases, in the original
Hebrew and Aramaic.

Using the CD-ROM Library, someone looking for all occurrences of a
particular Talmudic word or passage could quickly search through the
entire Talmud--over 5000 pages--to find the relevant citations, just by
typing in one or two words from the relevant passage.

With the proliferation of PC's in today's society, it is expected that the
CD-ROM Judaic Classics Library will become a standard reference tool in
Jewish homes and institutions of higher learning worldwide.

The CD-ROM Judaic Classics Library is priced at $499, and it can be used
with the Apple Macintosh computer, equipped with a CD-ROM drive, hard
drive, and 2 megabytes of memory. The program is also available for the
IBM PC.
