My grandmother used to tell me that on cold winter nights there is little better than a good book and a spiked tea. How to find the right book is always a question. The quote from the Nextbook web site, a non-profit organization, says it all: Nobel laureate Saul Bellow once wrote that, "We are always looking for the book it is necessary to read next".
Here you will find the latest in Jewish books including reviews and a great way to create an online reading list.
If you've been searching for a good, Israel-based news site geared for teenagers, then check out this one. The Israel HighWay - Your Road to Israel is a weekly email publication for high school students. Includes in-depth examination of issues, highlights school and community projects, covers Israel trips and programs, and contains interactive components and articles by or about American and Israeli students, and more. The Israel HighWay also prepares students for pro-Israel advocacy on the college campus.
The Israeli youth studying in the Ort Network of schools have done an admirable job putting together the Eye 2 Israel website, catering to their teenage counterparts all over the world. The site runs the gamut of teen feelings and emotions toward their everyday life in Israel in this age of terror and the struggle against it. Their experiences are expressed in news and personal stories, poems, and other creative outlets (what teens would call "fun stuff") such as music, food cuisine, trips, and more.
