The Center for Online Judaic Studies, Inc. (COJS) is a collaborative organization dedicated to the advancement of Judaic Studies, Biblical Studies, and Jewish Education. Through the use of digital imaging and internet technologies, COJS seeks to inspire innovation in these fields, to expand access to knowledge, and to preserve the artifacts and records of the Jewish past and present.

The goal of the CREATE portion of the project is to collaborate with faculty and graduate students in the Jewish Education program at NYU to develop online educational modules that are integrated with a multimedia encyclopedia and a vast database of primary and secondary source materials relating to all areas of Biblical and Judaic Studies.
