Are you one of those thousands of people who wishes you could find where your grandparents or great grandparents came from. Then the site Routes to Roots Foundation Inc is a must to bookmark. It is well laid out and has an almost staggering amount of information both onthe site itself and through its related web sites. One piece of advise since this site is quite extensive first look the intro to learn how best to use the site.

Yes it's true summer is coming and this is not the time many of us are thinking about looking for long term work but for those who are the site JewishJobs.com definitely has something to offer. Although based on jobs only in the USA, the site itself is one which should be emulated in other countries all over the world. I am not crazy about the ads at the bottom of the page but I guess it must need them to keep running.

This is a great site for those philatelists (also known as stamp collectors) among us. J-Stamps features the writings of the late Jewish historian and philatelist Dr. Murray Frost. The site is updated each month, bringing you articles exploring Jewish history as depicted on stamps, post cards and other philatelic items.
Chabad Online Network has a well designed presentation on Tisha B'Av and the Three Weeks offering insights to the three week period known as "between the strictures" designated as a time of mourning over the destruction of the Holy Temple. It's worthwhile to take a look at their Temple Tour.
