It is said that every one of the 304,805 letters in the Torah corresponds to a soul. CJM visitors both to the Museum and online can explore this concept in the People's Torah, an interactive, multi-media art installation that is part of the exhibition As It Is Written: Project 304,805. In this three-dimensional rendering of the Five Books of Moses, the Torah will be "written" collectively, letter by letter, by online participants in collaboration with visitors to the Museum. To create the People's Torah, participants will virtually "join hands," working together to create each of the 304,805 letters of the Torah.
