Around Jewish Cyberworld
Baruch HaBa l'tachana laInternet haYehudi....
The Internet offers a HUGE supply of information about things Jewish.
It's pretty easy to find Orthodox and other traditional
sources on the Web. Here, I've collected the links below to help
you find your way to sites - especially Reconstructionist, Jewish Feminist,
and Jewish Renewal - that I hope will help you find your off-line path
to greater knowledge, spirtuality and joy. Spritual practice doesn't
have to mean a black hat or a huge suburban synagogue.
