http://jeru.huji.ac.il/ef1.htmThe Jerusalem Mosaic. This mosaic developed by Hebrew University takes you through the history of Jerusalem. If I find any fault in the site, it is in the lack of real depth to any of the periods. In spite of this, it is a fine introduction to the history of Jerusalem.
http://www.JLaw.com/Articles/physicians1.html http://www.JLaw.com/Articles/childcus1.htmlDid you ever wonder about the legality in Jewish Law of a doctors strike or the Jewish approach to child custody? This site, Jewish Law - Examining Halacha, Jewish Issues and Secular Law, is designed for those who have a basic understanding of Jewish Law but who may not necessarily be in the Law field.
http://www.mindspring.com/~dbholzel/1001.htmlI couldn’t figure out how to categorize this site; it was so off the wall. I can tell you that David Holzel who is behind the site definitely had fun doing it. He calls it The Jewish Angle. I especially liked the article on Tisha Ba'av. I wonder what he will do for Succot?
http://users.aol.com/agunah/index.htmThe topic has had world wide coverage lately. Unfortunately, it has become very relevant.

Go to AICE (American Israeli Cooperative Enterprise), The Jewish Student Online Research Center(JSOURCE) The Jewish Population of the World. If you've got a current events project due tomorrow, chances are you'll find the data you're looking for this site.

If you're looking for a job, house, a good movie, or a singles event and you're living in the New York, L.A or San Francisco areas, you're in luck. Well that's not really true. jewninverse.com is a classifieds web site that deals with specific areas but if you take a look at the ads, you'll see quite a few posted from around the globe. The ads vary from Goldie's gefite fish recipe to cantorial websites.
This site is a tremendous resource for learning and improving your Hebrew. Even if you've mastered the language, the links provided are for all levels and are interesting and educational. I especially had fun with the Hebrew Slang Dictionary.

It's an adult Jewish educational program aimed at increasing Jewish knowledge and awareness. It offers free courses in Biblical and classical Jewish thought including personal correspondence with each student.
http://www.interlog.com/~mighty/Women and the Holocaust is a very moving tribute. A lot of Holocaust studies have been gender neutral. This site provides some insights into women's holocaust experiences in the form of personal refections, poetry, academic essays and so forth of. Yaffa Eliach's writings are exhibited in Women of Valor: Partisans and Resistance Fighters.
