http://www.yarden.ac.il/bloss/pro2000/p2kfront.htmHow it should be done. Most of us have heard how the internet should be used to bring schools, groups, and different cultures together. The Bridge to Partnership site is a good example of how it should be done. Educators and local Jewish Federations please take note.
http://fcit.coedu.usf.edu/holocaust/It's still high summer but for those educators out there and parents, there is an educational site that is a must see. The University of South Florida has produced an excellent Teacher's Guide to the Holocaust. The time line and links are phenomenal, but for me the art and music section (which included midi files) was unique and a new and important contribution to Holocaust education.
http://haruth.com/JewsoftheWorld.htmlIts still summer and travel is the name of the game. Would you like to know what's happening in Jewish Ireland or Uganda for that matter? I have to say that the Jewish Communities of The World site was a bit confusing, with some sites having a wealth of information and others almost nothing, until I realized that much of the information on the individual countries are links.
When Kaddish needs to be said, and there is no one to say it, the community of Ohr Yaakov, an English-speaking Jewish community located in Zichron Yaakov, stands ready to help you. The organization behind www.kaddish.org.il, an unobtrusive yet meaningful site, will at your request guarantee that Kaddish be recited every day during the year of mourning and on the Yahrzeit.
Yeshivat Har Etzion is proud to sponsor the The Virtual Beit Midrash, providing yeshiva style lessons in Torah and Judaism to students of all ages outside the Yeshiva walls. Using internet and email, The Virtual Beit Midrash is a true window into the Beit Midrash. Courses are sent out weekly to subscribers, who are able to communicate with course instructors or coordinators. Some of the lessons may be read in the site itself.
