Let's say you have a few hours to kill and you decide to spend it on culture. Where do you turn (if you are in Israel that is)? Try the ilMuseums site. It has information PLUS. First of all, it is clean. Each page follows the same order and uses the same graphics. Second, all the basic information is there, including hours, address, pictures, and a web site URL if it exists. So, if you have the time, as my grandmother would say, "get some cultcha".
http://www.ohr.org.il/special/dates.htmThis is definitely the season of the holidays. As such, you may be in need of dates, plus information behind each holiday. So have a look at the Ohr Somayach Interactive site. Click on the dates of the holidays and you will find a wealth of information for every level.
http://www.dubrow.addr.com/Havienu/html/vestibule/hebcalmonthview.htmlContemplating making your own calendar? Try Havienu L'Shalom Month-at-a-Time Hebrew Calendar site. The instructions are relatively easy and it took just a few seconds to produce a monthly calendar, albeit without the pictures.
http://www.akhlah.com/holidays/RoshHashana/RoshHashannah.aspFinally, a cute site for kids on the learning network. Try Akhlah: The Jewish Children's Learning Network site. Kids learn about tradition, blessings, shofar, and Rosh Hashana vocabulary.
