sefaria-connections

sefaria-connections
This project was designed using [Sefaria.org's] (https://www.sefaria.org/?home) api and D3.js to show second degree connections between texts. That is, not just where one text is linked to a second text, but also texts that the second text links to. This allows a user to discover if texts talking about a text aggregate around other texts. As an example, `Any time Amos 1:1 is referenced in a/the Commentary which in turn references a/the Tanakh` yields: ![II Kings 3:4](./II_Kings_34.png) When Rashi and Abarbanel talk about Amos 1:1 they also mention II Kings 3:4, and when Metzudat David talks about II Kings 3:4, Amos 1:1 is also mentioned. This is because of the use of נֹקֵד 'sheep breeder' in both texts. This project was designed using [Sefaria.org's] (https://www.sefaria.org/?home) api and D3.js
