A number of social issues have plagued the Jewish people. One of the worst is the problem of Agunot (women whose husbands have refused to grant them a Jewish divorce "get". One site which has an excellent article plus extensive links on this important issue is jewishpeople.net.
It's getting warm outside and most of us at least think of being a bit more active. Here is another reason not to leave your computer; the first and probably the only Jewish sports on-line magazine - JewishSports.com. I especially liked the trivia section.. hopefully they will expand it.
http://www.ou.org/chagim/yomyerushalayim/default.htmA valuable site for celebrating "Yom Yerushalayim" this month. Many features include virtual tours of Yerushalayim, Sefirat Haomer quiz, song salutes, actual photographs from the liberation of the kotel, Yom Yerushalayim videos and learning.
http://www.shemayisrael.co.il/hmikdash/Continuing with the theme of "Yom Yerushalayim", take a virtual tour of the Bet Hamikdash.Hypermikdash is an on-line electronic book that allows you to navigate your way through text and full color 3D images designed to open up Jerusalem's second Temple.
If you're interested in the history, philosophy, significance and technical details of the Temple, or you'd just like to get a picture of what Judaism's most important and beautiful building looked like, Hypermikdash On-Line will prove to be a useful resource.
