This is a new portal site to the world of Jewish internet. The graphics are laid out well and quite self explanatory. The downside is that they want you to register although at no cost. Whether you will or not, it is worth a trial run.
http://www.ahavat-israel.com/software.htmlLooking for free Jewish software? Before you get all excited there isn't THAT much Jewish stuff there although they do have a number of Hebrew font sites. In addition, they have links to zdnet, Tucows, shareware.com etc.
Traveling to Prague? Then definitely visit this site. Don't be put off by the black and white unclear graphics of the home page. The information inside on the various synagogues and exhibitions are worth the visit.
I found something unusual on a site which is officially for the Israeli abroad. Aside from what you would expect - information on communities in the states, returning to Israel, news etc, - I clicked on studies in the U.S. I found a very useful guide from Trinity college in writing resumes. Their Israel section has many good links to news in Hebrew etc. Even if you are not Israeli, it's one way to practice your Hebrew.
Interest in purchasing or browsing through some well known Israeli artists? Purchase Hebrew labels? Wonder why people walk around with a red sting on their wrists? While the shop is blatantly commercial it is well made.
If you are an art gallery owner, curator, or you just love art, then it's worth your while to look into this site. It's the first virtual art gallery in Israel and the Near East. It's aim is to showcase local artists to professionals and art lovers all over the world. Plus it gives you information on art events, art schools and institutions, and anything relevant to art. You might be the one to discover the next Marc Chagall.
http://www.torah.org/learning/yomtov/omer/A pretty good source for Divrei Torah on Sefiras HaOmer, Pesach Sheni, and Lag B'Omer. It also provides you with the current Sefira count and you can also subscribe to their Sefira Counting Reminder mailing list.
http://www.idf.il/English/HISTORY/sixday.htmYom Yerushalayim is right around the corner. Where were you when the Six Day War broke out? If you're too young to remember, the Official IDF website can certainly help you fill in the missing gaps. It's history section gives a concise and moving portrait of war in the air, and the Egyptian, Jordanian, and Syrian fronts that Israel had to contend with.
http://http://www.ou.org/chagim/shavuot/default.htmThis Shavuot site looks very interesting. It contains many audio shiurim, an audio link for listening to Megillat Ruth and a couple of realvideo format links related to Judaism. This is also quite a diverse collection of shiurim, coming from such locals as L.A, Riverdale, Efrat, Alon Shvut and Jerusalem to name a few.
Current events not your forte? The Jewish Education Center of Cleveland website offers a comprehensive overview of the battle in Kosovo. It is specifically aimed to assist schools in developing appropriate Jewish responses to the war in Yugoslavia. It also includes a background for adults on the Balkan conflict.
