Nurit Reshef has done it again. "Her fun page" Jewish Funland while probably aimed at the younger age provides some excellent edutainment. I especially enjoyed the crossword puzzle. The music background is a nice touch.

Speaking of music, although the site The Jewish Midi Library itself is a bit confusing and busy on the graphics side they do have a nice collection of midi files to download for use on your computer and of course options to buy cd's etc.
If you're heading towards Canada for Chanukah, or have an interest in learning about communites, or just enjoy beautiful web design, The Community Council of Ottawa is a great find. Loaded with useful and interesting information about the community and the broader Jewish world, it is a wonderful resource for anyone. Check out the latke recipes - "Gotta Whole Lotta Latkes Goin' On".

Virtual Chanukah is an all inclusive site about the Festival of Lights. Typical of the holiday genre sites, it presents the usual fare of multi-media presentations, games, stories etc. The site's graphics are done nicely - but what I found most impressive was it's availability in seven different languages!
SABRAnet is pretty straightforward and standard. It's the first Israeli portal, offering Israel related content such as news, virtual community features, a complete guide to Israel-related Internet sites, and one-stop shop for Israeli goods and services.
