C.D.I. System's state of the art technology - NetIS™, the core technology implemented in JEDU-Treasures database, exposes new ways to approach the unique world of Jewish tradition to enrich Jewish education around the world.

The JEDU Treasures project This unique database includes Rabbinical and Historical sources related to the history of Jewish Education. Presently, the database contains more than 1,000 sources. In addition, the database includes a comprehensive bibliography of about 2,000 articles on the history of Jewish education. JEDU features a multi language (Hebrew, Yiddish, German, Ladino and more) Jewish textbook facsimile archive of title pages and bibliographic descriptions of more then 1,200 textbooks.

Prof. Shmuel Glick, Director of the Schocken Institute in Jerusalem adds, "The Sources of the History of Jewish Education database gives users authentic and original sources, the result of years of professional academic research and preparation. We wanted these sources and research material to become available to any person interested in Jewish education and its historical roots. After thorough investigation concerning proprietary literary materials, we concluded that C.D.I. Systems provides the best solution for our concerns about content theft when publishing our database online".

Furthermore, JEDU-Treasures is equipped with on-line maps linking cities and centers of Jewish Learning to the database and includes an index and thesaurus of educational terms in English allowing users to link its controlled vocabulary with the Hebrew index.

Mr. Itzhak Levit, C.D.I. System's CEO: "One of the main obstacles in digital-age publishing is protecting content against illegal access. The Internet, besides being an easy and low-cost medium for mass distribution of content, largely exposes it to illegal copying, thus infringing the publisher's rights". Mr. Levit adds "NetIS™, our unique and integrated platform is the ultimate solution for content owners willing to generate revenues from on-line content".

The JEDU-Treasures database (www.jewish-education-sources.co.il) is designed for easy use for researchers, teachers, academics, scholars and the public, seeking to understand the history and development of Jewish education throughout the ages.
