# for Religious Uses The [[🗂️ 01 - Community|Obsidian Community]] has created plenty of resources for studying religious texts. ## Plugins - The [[obsidian-bible-reference|Bible Reference Plugin]] will let you "fetch" a particular passage of the Bible from [ESV.org](https://www.esv.org/). - With [[obsidian-bible-linker|Bible Linker]], you can quickly copy bible verses and create links to them. - [[obsidian-daf-yomi|Daf Yomi]] helps you prepare for the [daily practice of learning the Oral Torah](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daf_Yomi) by downloading the day's PDF (one page of the [Talmud](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talmud)) and links to commentary and other resources. ## Media Resources - [[Chris Wilson]] has multiple YouTube videos about how he uses Obsidian to take notes on the Bible.
