For centuries, philosophers and scholars have argued and debated over the question – must there be a Jewish version of everything? Personally, I think the debate is entirely unnecessary. If you’ve ever endured a non-Jewish deli (with rye bread that looks like Wonder Bread with rye seeds glued on), experienced an Episcopalian attempting to play Tevye in “Fiddler On the Roof,” or met a married couple over 65 who did not reside in Florida – yes, there obviously needs to be a Jewish version of everything.
Now that Apple’s new iPad tablet has taken the computer world by storm, it was only a matter of time, then, before some enterprising Jewish tech-head created its Hebraic equivalent. Rejoice, fellow Jeeks (Jewish geeks)! That day has now arrived. Apple’s Israeli division, Orange, has just announced the introduction of its new Jewish tablet computer – the jPad, due for release this Summer.
No longer must we feel compelled to use the same tablet computer that every other Catholic, Protestant and Buddhist is using. We now have one that addresses the needs, lifestyle, background, and attributes of our Jewish community. And while it may not be Moses’s Twin Tablets, I think you’ll agree that it is absolutely Hebraic in every sense of the word.
Here’s an inside look at some of the jPad’s impressive features:
Have you ever wondered what Obama thinks of the iPad?
