152 Passover Educational Hotsites and 80 Cool Passover YouTube Videos

Hi Everyone!

Passover is a Jewish holiday, of Biblical origin, marking the birth of the Jews as a people and their emergence as a unique nation in history, devoted to G-d's will. It celebrates the liberation of the children of Israel from slavery in Egypt over 3000 years ago, under the leadership of Moses.

This year Passover begins on Wednesday night, April 8, 2009.

I posted on my website 152 links about Passover, ranging from laws and customs to games and recipes. Site languages include English, Hebrew, Russian, Spanish, French, Portugese, Italian and German.

All 152 links have been reviewed / checked.

Case History of a Jewish Website

Hi Everyone!

Recently I wrote an article about the development history of my J website - Jewish Education and Entertainment.
http://www.J.co.il
The article was published in CAJE's (The Coalition for the Advancement of Jewish Education) online magazine. The article is online at their site but only for registered users (in 1-2 weeks it will be accessible to the general public).

I posted a copy of the article on my site (in pdf format) at:
http://www.jr.co.il/articles/jacob/index.html

Feedback is welcome.

May everyone have a
Happy Passover!
Chag Sameach!
Jacob
