Jews and The Internet

I visited all of the sites for looking up the web and it's uses for Judaism, and each of them had a different use for Judaism. Shamash: The Jewish Network was the most informative, because it had links and articles with sufficient texts on them. It isn't the most appealing website out there, but when it says that it is striving to be the highest quality central point of Jewish information and discussion on the Internet when it lists so many links along with a database that comes along with it, it's hard not to believe that it can be the central point of Jewish information and discussion. I liked how on the first page you pull up when going onto the site, you are greeted with somewhat of a book club or marketplace that features famous Israeli authors of their time. It wasn't a bad place to start, but it certainly was the best out of all the sites listed for that week.

I remember also taking a look at Orthodox Anarchist. The blog itself is very stylish as well as intriguing. But let's not forget that this is just one person's thoughts. The blogger himself has authority over his blog, but that doesn't mean he has total authority over the issues that he discusses. Sometimes subjects can be very touchy, even though everyone is entitled to their own opinion. These cases is just to be careful what you write.
