Thanks to the Internet, anyone with a computer connected to the World Wide Web can learn about anything.As a Jew, this means you now have access to more information about Judaism than at any other time in the history of our people. To help you find web sites of value, we will feature them in this new section.  

  

www.jewish.com 

Jewish Community OnLine’s mission is to serve all Jews from the most observant to the most secular. The website is an outgrowth of AOL’s site linked to the AOL keyword "Jewish.com". 

Topics range from news to spirituality, ask a Rabbi, a free electronic newsletter and a complete Torah translation section. You can also find "Jewish E-mail", the bi-weekly syndicated column of Being Jewish’s publisher, Gil Mann. Click on columnists and you’ll find him.

www.virtualjerusalem.com

We had to mention this site as it boasts the "Kotel Kam"— the real-time, visual link to the holiest of Jewish sites, the Kotel (Western Wall). In addition, you can take a breathtaking 360° tour of the Western Wall with their amazing IPIX of the Kotel. 

The many pages of virtualjerusalem.com are packed with information from news to singles, greeting cards to the music of Isaac Stern, as well as a complete guide to Shabbat candle-lighting times around the world.  

www.jewishfamily.com

  JewishFamily.com is published by the non-profit Jewish Family and Life! Jewish Family and Life also publishes Sh’ma and JFL Books in addition to several other websites linked to their JewishFamily.com, including JVibe, a Jewish site for teens. The JewishFamily.com mission is to help families apply Judaism and Jewish values to their everyday lives while being a source of user friendly, family-oriented information and entertainment. In addition, JewishFamily.com hopes to provide a link to those Jewish families who may not feel comfortable in traditional Jewish organizations.

 

www.wwmd.org 

What would a mentsch do? Mentsch is a Yiddish word for a good, caring, and decent person. You are a mentsch when you act in a manner that promotes justice, kindness, respect for yourself and your family, your community, and the world as a whole. 

WWMD is an ethical outreach movement of the Simply Jewish Fellowship, a non-profit, nondenominational educational organization dedicated to promoting Jewish values and spirituality. The WWMD.org site is filled with information about and scenarios explaining the WWMD philosophy in addition to a store filled with goodies.

   
   
Try taking a family virtual tour through the WWMD.org website. Take the time to read the scenarios and be sure your family really understands the philosophical framework advocated by the site. Then register online to receive a free daily Mentsch mail. Each Mentsch mail contains a question to think about using the WWMD framework. They are great discussions for the dinner table, the car, or at night as part of your kids’ bedtime ritual.
