All too often we find Holocaust sites which focus on the tragedy but what about the heroic side? The Ghetto Fighters' House is a site which brings to life stories both well and lesser known of those people who often gave their lives. Along with exhibition pictures, it has excellent educational materials including a chronology and terminology section.
HanuKat offers a playful, interactive way for children, parents, grandparents and friends - both Jewish and non-Jewish - to celebrate Hanukkah and Passover. Everyone can appreciate and enjoy the "miracles" that come from loving and sharing, thinking and caring. It's tradition!

Another excellent site comes to you, Happy Chanukah from KidsDomain. Again, for the younger set, but with a wealth of puzzles, pictures to color and on-lin games.
In conjunction with birthright israel, Mayanot Institute of Jewish Studies offers free ten-day Israel tours that aim to inspire a deep and meaningful connection to the Jewish people, Jewish life, and the Jewish State of Israel. This amazing gift is available for Jewish, young adults ages 18 through 26 and who have never before been to Israel on an organized tour. So if that is you, visit the site IsraelExpress today.
Starting with Aleph is an innovative course that teaches Hebrew reading and basic Jewish values in an interactive fashion. Start with lesson one (Breishit / In the Beginning) which introduces the six letters of the Hebrew word "Breishit" and words formed by those letters through interactive exercises and a "multimedia midrash".
