Information about Judaism
Yahoo magazine is a good place to find out interesting websites. Every month they review websites by topics. The sites listed below came from the the May, 1998 edition, Jewish-American Heritage, pg 126. The descriptions are excerpted from that review.
- Judaism 101 This site covers every possible question you could have on Jewish customs, beliefs, and religious rituals.There is even an annotated list of the 613 Mitzvot (commandments) that observant Jews are supposed to perform. Wisely, the pages are rated (on a basic, Intermediate, and Advanced scale) to allow the readers to use the site based on their own level of Jewish literacy.
- About Judaism A site with many good links to sites about Judaism, including an "Ask the Rabbi" link.
- Description of Judaism.
- Passover on the Net An extremely useful intro or refresher to this wonderful and complex holiday. This beautifully illustrated site offers the history of the holiday, a guide to the many ritual observances, and RealAudio files that offer prayers and seasonal songs. This is part of a larger site Holidays on the Net which gives information about many major celebrations, both religious and secular, on our calendar.
