Interactive

The interactive allows the filtering of the commandments of the law by the following facets with values within the facet presented in number or alphabetic order. Note that there is no find box for the facets.:

• State
• Category
• Applicability
• People
• Places
• Things
• Themes
• Literary types

Mouse-over the commandment title provides a popup showing detailed information including a summary of Judaica references. Clicking on the commandment title expands the command to show detailed information including active Judaica links.

Clicking on the details e.g. people, places, literary types, … moves that element into the facet selection list just as if you have clicked it in the left panel.  Biblical and Judaica reference show the standard preview and open resource behavior.
