His software sang the words of God, then it went silent
Heard about this ordeal on NPR a while back.  It's crazy how dependent a community can become on a piece of software and at the same time no one takes measures on preservation or open sourcing that software.<p>Especially with all the passion and work Tom put into the program and his work with multiple Rabbi's to tweak in their slight changes and localized traditions. This feels more like much needed historical preservation that the community could have guided.<p>What a massive blunder of closed software.
