f only our ancestors who
left Egypt in the Exodus
had had access to com-
puters and the World
Wide Web, they could have
made their stay in the desert
and entrance into the land less
traumatic.
First, they would have visit-
ed the Web sites of the various
peoples that inhabited the
Promised Land. Maybe, just
maybe, information about
each of the nations on the
sites, as well as e-mail address-
es for their leaders, could have
eased the negotiations.
Despite the lack of ancient
Web site availability, the
Promised Land is now ours.
Nonetheless, we still are
commanded at Pesach to re-
live the Exodus as if we our-
selves really left Egypt. The
ever-increasing number of
Web sites devoted to the holi-
day provides us with a wealth
of resources to fulfill this mitz-
vah.
A site called "Passover on
the Net" is a good place to
start. Found at
http://www.holidays.net/
passover/, this site, sponsored
by the Jewish Post of New
York Online, provides a thor-
ough and well-organized pre-
sentation of the various
aspects of Pesach. The open-
ing page offers a basic descrip-
tion of the story of the
Exodus. Recognizing that mu-
sic is an integral part of the

Passover celebration, the de-
velopers included selections
from "Dayenu" "MaNishtana,"
"Avadeem Hayeenu" and "Bet-
zet Yisrael." Sorry, no "Chad
Gadya."
A description of the Seder
and the question motif of
Passover is followed by recipes

gadah, an illuminated manu-
script from medieval Spain
which is housed at the nation-
al museum in Sarajevo. The
site then goes on to explain
the familiar Passover theme of
four and provides instructions
for an interesting educational
game aimed at 11 to 15 year

for a variety of both traditional
fare, like gefilte fish, and for
not-so-traditional fare, such as
eggplant parmesan. This sec-
tion also includes child-friend-
ly recipes such as Passover
pizza.
Another Passover overview
(no pun intended) can be
found at http://wwvv.ort.or
ort/museurn/passover.htm.
The first page of the site, de-
voted to explaining the basic
concepts of the holiday, is
beautifully illustrated by pic-
tures from the Sarajevo Hag-

olds.
The Jewish Communication
Network's interactive
site, found at http://www.

haggadah/, allows the visitor
to add his view on various
portions of the Haggadah.
He may then read all of the
contributions submitted on
each of the sections from
sources all around the world.
In addition, visitors can com-
pile a personal version of the
Haggadah containing his 16
