Friend and code-tester of the Open Siddur Project, Ze'ev Clementson, just released his <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/yiddishbible/id494049348?mt=8" rel="nofollow">Yiddish Tanakh app</a> containing Yehoyesh's masterful Yiddish translation of the Tanakh. His app also contains the 1917 JPS English translation of the Tanakh and the Masoretic Hebrew text of the Tanakh according to Aaron ben Moses ben Asher (from the Westminster Leningrad Codex). We are really pleased to help make Jewish creative content in the Public Domain available to crafters (programmers, book artists, digital restorers, educators, etc.) for crafting their own curricular resources and tools for spiritual practice.
