One of the more beautiful aspects of Judaism is Hillel's teaching of "Love
your neighbor as yourself", which in practice translates into "Care for your
neighbor". The idea of tikun olam (repairing the world) is the reason d'etre for SocialAction.com, an on-line magazine dedicated to pursuing justice, building community, and repairing the world. Aside from a weekly Torah
commentary and articles on holidays, it is also a hands-on site with
ideas and guides for action.

Lookingback is a website devoted to the story of Joseph Eisenbruch, a native of Lvov, Holocaust survivor and one of the founders of the "Bricha" movement that brought Jews from Europe to Eretz Israel. A review of his autobiography and pages from the whole book are offered, as well as a small picture gallery.

Between Pesach and Shavuot many Jews take on the obligation of counting the Omer. Chabad
has a web page that addresses the needs of anyone who would like more info on what the Omer is all about and how to count it. Also included is an Omer calender and a daily Omer reminder.
