Originally established in 2002 as a small project dedicated to the preservation of recorded Jewish music, it has matured into a robust digitization operation for all types of sound recordings.

| Notes | Biblical Research Three biblical scholars are interviewed in the broadcast: M.H. Garshen Gottstein, Hayim Rabbin and S. Talmon. These three professors from the Hebrew Universtiy in Jerusalem head a Bible Project to study the 10th Century Alepo Kodex, a medieval manuscript which contains clues to the pronunciation of the ancient Hebrew letters. It is perhaps the most historically important Hebrew manuscript in existence. Their work started in 1958 and may take 25-30 years to complete. The work is time-consuming and involves comparing new translations with already known historic translations. The Kodex was historically under the protection of the religious Jews of Israel and was used exclusively for religious purposes. The professors are able to study the Kodex from photos of the original document. |
