Your gateway to the wealth of information from the Jewish Agency



August 2000

Holocaust sites are not easy to review. Anne Frank which was designed by Louis Bullow has something which keeps you there. It is linked to other of his sites including the famous picture of the boy in the Warsaw Ghetto with his hands upraised and what happened to him. There was one point which made it a bit incongruous and that was the advertisement on the top of the page which at that moment was from Elle.com which stated (no joke) I weigh more then 90 lbs. I eat more then lettuce. I still want to look gorgeous... There must be as message in there somewhere.

Business may be business but there is more to Globes then just economic news. The site is uncluttered and lean. Have a look at the special project section. I found the Internet articles informative and interesting although a bit outdated. This is not a site for great graphics, rather it's for no nonsense information - quick and easy.

And of course how can I do the month without something on History. The Internet Ancient History Sourcebook: Israel is not for everyone. The graphics are spartan to say the least. The explanations and navigating may not be the easiest, but and here is the big but, if you are interested in a real comprehensive site on ancient Jewish history then this is the place to start. They have an excellent page on further links with good explanations on what you will find there. It is definitely a site to bookmark and while you are resting drinking your lemonade, take some time and go where ever it will take you.

The Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs site, established and maintained by the Ministry's Information Division, is Israel's virtual embassy in cyberspace. It is designed to provide basic information about Israel and its people, while offering comprehensive material on the Israeli government and its policies.

The Florence Melton Adult Mini-School is based at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. With 4,500 adults studying in 43 schools in North America, England and Australia, the Mini-School is the only educational network of its kind. It brings the Judaic scholarship of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem to classrooms around the world in a curriculum developed specifically for the adult learner. The material is sophisticated, and the environment pluralistic.
