Preaching Goes Viral
Description
Preaching Goes Viral is collecting digital recordings and transcriptions of materials related to religious life and practice: sermons; prayers; rituals and changes in worship; religious laws or guidelines about individual and communal practice; policy statements by organizations with scriptural, theological, moral, or other religious content; personal stories, blog posts, photographs, poems, and other expressions about religion & the crisis. Each submission is accompanied by information about the date and place of the material's creation and about the religious community in which it was created. Emphasis is on English-language material from the United States but includes some Hebrew and Yiddish materials and some from English-speaking countries abroad. Jewish focus on YUTorah.org and special projects on the Jewish community of Columbus, Ohio, and on Hillel campus groups. The project grew out of undergraduate courses on religion and on Jewish civilization. Student engagement will continue in the future with the hiring of summer interns for continued work and with analysis in fall courses in religious studies. Publicized through institutional communications and on social media by contributors.
