In my recent post on religion and children's toys, I noted that orthodox Jews have taken advantage of and adapted technology. A great example of this is the wealth of Jewish learning available online in both audio and video formats. In this post, I focus in particular on some of my favorite Sephardic resources that are available online.
The first section (classics texts) highlights classic Sephardic authors and their works. Since many of these texts are now fundamental to the Jewish canon in general, some of the people leading the classes are not themselves Sephardic, though their insights are still great and inspiring! The second section (classes) are by Sephardic Rabbis today. Do you know of a fabulous audio or video class that I have missed? Let me know in the comments and I will add it!
