Rabbi Dr. Judith Abrams, the founder and director of the online Talmud learning website, MAQOM, died of a heart attackWednesday in Houston. She was 56.
Abrams, who made a career of Jewish teaching and learning, was a relative latecomer to Jewish study. Inspired by a semester studying in Soviet-era Leningrad (now St. Petersburg), where she met Jews in synagogue and on the streets, she entered the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion with practically no Jewish education, and quickly excelled in her studies, according to professor Jonathan Sarna, who is a professor of Jewish history at Brandeis University and wrote a tribute to her on the H-Judaic e-mail list. Abramsgraduated at the top of her class in 1984 and was ordained as a rabbi the following year.
Her rabbinic thesis, on the image of America in the Russian-language Jewish press, was published intheAmerican Jewish History journal in 1986. In 1993 she earnedadoctoratein Jewish studiesfrom Baltimore Hebrew University.
Abrams pioneered online teaching of Talmud to adults through her website MAQOM, and authored over 20 books for asultsand children. Her most recent book, The Other Talmud (Jewish Lights) was publishedin 2012.
Abrams is survived by herhusband, Dr. Steven Abrams, and three children.

Mitzvah means good deed.
Acts of kindness will be performed Sunday during Mitzvah Day sponsored by the social action committee of Congregation Rodef Sholom. Activities will take place in the Mahoning and Shenango valleys because the congregation has ties to both. Congregation Rodef Sholom and Temple Beth Israel in Sharon, Pa., merged in July 2013.
Rabbi Franklin Muller cited words from the Talmud that sum up the purpose of the day: In the eyes of God, deeds of kindness are equal in weight to all the commandments.
A mitzvah is a deep compulsion to express the profound Jewish conviction that what we do and how we act in the world is more important than how we think or what we believe, Rabbi Muller said. But the urge to do a mitzvah is weighted with the feeling that somehow its origin is in God, that it relates to the whole universe, and that it is the core of all existence.
The rabbi said activities engage the young, the old and everyone in between to experience the special joy of extending the hand of friendship to others.
Dr. Mari Alschuler is Mitzvah Day coordinator. I got drafted, she said of her role as chairperson of the social action committee at Rodef Sholom, which she joined in August 2013.

A Hasidic Jewish man accused of taking photos of a sex-abuse victim as she testified in a blockbuster 2012 trial will have the case against him dismissed Friday, the Post has learned.
Yona Weissman, 24, was charged with contempt when court officers caught him with a photo on his phone of the pretty 17-year-old girl on the stand in the trial of her Hasidic counselor, Nechemya Weberman, who was later convicted of brutally abusing her. The photo had also been posted to Twitter.
But the case against Weissman took a hit when Brooklyn Criminal Court Judge Michael Gerstein citing a recent US Supreme Court decision ruled the photos inadmissible as evidence because court officers failed to obey search-and-seizure laws.

Theres no evidence anymore, so thats it. You need the evidence to convict and without evidence theres no case, said Weissman defense attorney Izzy Fried, who said the prosecutor on the case called him Thursday to say the case would be dismissed in court Friday.
He maintains his innocence. He didnt do anything wrong. The fact that he had the image on his phone that they illegally searched doesnt mean he snapped the picture.
Law-enforcement sources confirmed prosecutors would ask for the case to be dismissed when it is called Friday.
The three other Hasidic men including one named Lemon Juice arrested in connection with the photo have already had their charges dropped.
The husband of Webermans victim, who steadfastly supported her during the trial, said he was frustrated none of the men responsible for posting his wifes photo on Twitter will be held responsible.
He should have gotten a year in jail. Hes the one who took the photo and he definitely tried to intimidate us, said the husband.
