YHWHY • SHALOMDOME • OSGRID

SHALOMDOME VR

Mission Command Center

Welcome to ShalomDome @ OSGrid — a living 3D environment where photographs, teachings, landmarks, Scripture resources, fellowship, and exploration come together.

The machinery is running. The waterfalls are flowing. The beavers have been instructed to build. Your avatar is expected.

Welcome to the ShalomDome Waterworks

ShalomDome is the 3D exploration and learning environment of YHWHY. It is designed to connect the physical web site with an actual place you can enter, walk through, explore, and revisit.

EXPLORE

Walk through ShalomDome, discover landmarks, gardens, buildings, libraries, mountains, waterfalls, and hidden places.

LEARN

Landmarks will connect directly to YHWHY teachings, Scripture studies, photographs, timelines, and library resources.

TELEPORT

Move from one destination to another using OSGrid teleportation links and in-world landmarks.

YHWHY YESHIVA

The virtual environment will connect the YHWHY Yeshiva resources with physical locations throughout ShalomDome.

THE EMBASSY

The Embassy of YHWHY is one of the primary orientation points for visitors entering ShalomDome.

THE TIMELINE

Future development will connect ShalomDome locations with the larger YHWHY historical and teaching timeline.
