Bar Ilan's Judaic Responsa

I have recently seen Bar Ilan's Judaic Responsa, and I would love to have it on my computer. Unfortunately, it is not available for Mac. Is there any chance that Accordance might add this as a plug in something like they do with the Deutsche Studien Bible?

Thanks for the reply Helen. I had thought that might be the case. I saw on a forum that they were bragging about being fully compatible with mac through bootcamp or some emulator like that. sigh. Don't they realize that Accordance has an amazing UI and search function?

Hi,

 

I, and I'd guess most in the Acc community, would prefer just the Judaic Classics edition, i.e., with Hebrew Bible, Targums, Mishnah, Talmud, Midrashim, and commentaries, without the Responsa literature. Responsa study is a highly specialized field, and including them would cost about an extra $700 (approx. $200 compared to $900 right now). Of course, the Responsa could be an add-on module.

 

Regards,

 

Michel

Dear Helen,

 

Is there any update on this?

Hi,

 

In case someone doesn't know, the database is available online at http://www.responsa.co.il/home.en-US.aspx# on a subscription basis at http://www.responsa.co.il/default.aspx?action=showProductList . You can subscribe to the whole database for a month, 10 hours over three months (view only), or for a year, or to the Primary Sources or the Responsa for a year.

 

The Primary Sources and Responsa are listed at http://www.responsa.co.il/books/books.en-US.html .

 

Regards,

 

Michel

Hi Michael, 

 

Thanks for the info.  They used to have a CD version of the Responsa database (I only know this because my former teacher, who had studied at Bar-Ilan, used it that way), but I have never found a way to purchase it.  

 

The online subscription option would be a help. 

 

Thanks, 

 

David

Hi David.

 

You can purchase the Primary Sources and Respona at https://www.jewishsoftware.com/products/Bar_Ilan_Responsa_22_on_USB_3235.asp .

 

If you only want the Primary Sources, see https://www.jewishsoftware.com/products/Bar_Ilan_Judaic_Library__School__Library_Edition_2649.asp .

 

But on a Mac you'd have to run it in a Windows virtual machine.

 

Regards,

 

Michel
