Encyclopedia of Judaism On CD-ROM

May 1, 1994 -- Chicago -- Davka Corporation, in cooperation with the
Institute for Computers in Jewish Life, announces the publication of the
Encyclopedia of Judaism & Dictionary of Jewish Biography for Windows. This
CD-ROM is priced at $99, and includes over 1300 pages of text, as well as
hundreds of photographs, many of them in full color. The easy-to-use
search software allows the user to access material efficiently and
quickly. Users can search through the text by typing in 'key words', or
can look up articles and pictures by title. It is expected that the
Encyclopedia of Judaism & Dictionary of Jewish Biography will rapidly
become an indispensable Judaic reference source for the entire family.

The Encyclopedia of Judaism, published by The Jerusalem Publishing House,
is the first new English-language, one-volume encyclopedia of Judaism to
be issued in more than twenty years. More than 70 authorities have
contributed over 1000 articles, covering a vast spectrum of topics,
ranging from biographical entries on the heroic rabbis of Jewish history,
to the customs and traditions of Jewish communities the world over.

The Dictionary of Jewish Biography, published by The Jerusalem Publishing
House and Simon & Schuster, includes nearly 1000 biographies of Jews who
have left an indelible mark on mankind. This A-to-Z reference includes
figures from all fields: writers, philosophers, politicians, Nobel prize
winners, and others.

The Encyclopedia of Judaism & Dictionary of Jewish Biography can be used
with an IBM or compatible computer with Windows, equipped with a CD-ROM
drive.
