Open Source Judaism is a small movement within the Jewish community that uses open collaboration to create works about or for Judaism. One of the groups completed works include an open source Haggadah (prayer book for Passover).
The movement was proposed in and inspired by the 2003 book Nothing Sacred: The Truth about Judaism by Douglas Rushkoff.
Famous quotes containing the words open, source and/or judaism:
“With liberty and pleasant weather, the simplest occupation, any unquestioned country mode of life which detains us in the open air, is alluring. The man who picks peas steadily for a living is more than respectable, he is even envied by his shop-worn neighbors. We are as happy as the birds when our Good Genius permits us to pursue any outdoor work, without a sense of dissipation.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It is thus tolerance that is the source of peace, and intolerance that is the source of disorder and squabbling.”
—Pierre Bayle (1647–1706)
“Christianity is the religion of melancholy and hypochondria. Islam, on the other hand, promotes apathy, and Judaism instills its adherents with a certain choleric vehemence, the heathen Greeks may well be called happy optimists.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
