The #DHJewish - Jewish Studies and Digital Humanities website (dhjewish.org) offers a single access point to news, events and projects on the intersection of Jewish Studies and Digital Humanities. The project list was started by Michelle Chesner, the Norman E. Alexander Librarian for Jewish Studies at Columbia University, and the site is now maintained by Gerben Zaagsma at the Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH). Beyond the website and project repository, #DHJewish sustains a growing bibliography focused on the intersection of Jewish Studies and Digital Humanities on Zotero and an online community on Zulip.

The Digital Media Workshop is a hands-on, interactive session at the AJS Annual Conference in which individual scholars or teams of scholars can demonstrate their digital Jewish Studies projects. Projects may include research and teaching tools, or born-digital scholarly works of particular interest to Jewish studies professors and students. The AJS is pleased to make available links to online resources presented in Digital Media Workshop presentations.
