DESCRIPTION:In recent decades\, scholars in Jewish studies have devoted the
 mselves to crafting critical editions of various compositions within Sage 
 literature\, driven by the premise that an "accurate book" serves as the f
 undamental bedrock for all textual inquiries. Within the burgeoning field 
 of digital humanities\, aimed at leveraging programming tools for humanist
 ic research\, the potential to incorporate scholarly-digital editions of b
 oth ancient and contemporary texts has emerged. At the 18th World Congress
  of Jewish Studies in the summer of 2015\, I unveiled a scholarly-digital 
 edition of the Jerusalem Rosh Hashanah Talmud tractate available at www.ye
 rushalmi-criticaledition.com. This edition encompasses textual sections\, 
 afrat\, parallels to sage literature\, and a comprehensive commentary on t
 he entire treatise based on extensive research (www.yerushalmi-criticaledi
 tion.com).\n\nA key advantage of a scholarly-digital edition lies in its c
 apacity to augment the commentary section with a digital compendium featur
 ing images\, videos\, sound clips\, and maps (Google Maps link). The integ
 ration of a digital map in the scholarly-digital edition for Rosh Hashanah
  Jerusalemites as a representation of knowledge poses multifaceted challen
 ges. The process of map preparation prompts inquiries into site identifica
 tions\, dual identifications of the same site\, differentiation between ta
 ngible and conceptual sites\, determining the optimal number of layers on 
 the map\, and more. On the part of students engaging with this edition\, q
 uestions arise regarding the map's utility in identifying mentioned sites 
 and comprehending the spatial context within which the sages operated duri
 ng the Talmudic period.\n\nIn this presentation\, I aim to briefly outline
  the challenges encountered by the map's editor and present initial findin
 gs from an ongoing study I am conducting on how students of oral Torah\, b
 oth as learners and educators\, utilize the map within this edition.
