Web Resources

Jew-ish.comA website which brings Jews in their 20s and 30s together virtually to offer perspectives on the Jewish world - mostly locally but also beyond - as well as act as a central point where Jews and their friends can meet for a night at a show or a party or a trip to synagogue. It's a way to make you think about where Judaism fits into your life, but also a way to become a little bit more active in whichever way you are most comfortable. No pressure from your parents, no requests for donations, no obligatory matzoh ball soup with schmaltz.
