Jamie's Favorite Jewish Sites," a
quirky little homepage, produced by a
housewife and mother in Macon, Ga.,
that seeks to impose a measure of
order on Jewish cyberspace.
Like the big Internet "portals," such
as Netscape's Netcenter and Yahoo,
Jamie selects a wide range of interest-
ing sites and categorizes them for easy
browsing. The site is attractive and
efficiently laid out.
And her personal musings, scat-
tered throughout the links, are a folksy
touch that makes the Internet seem a
little less anonymous.
Jamie, who doesn't give her last
name, starts with a brief commentary
about what it's like being an observant.
Jew in the South.
Then, she presents the links, laid
out in neat categories, each topped by
a pretty graphic. While this isn't the
biggest collection of Jewish links avail-
able on the Web, it's one of the best
designed — and one of the most bal-
anced.
So in the section on "community
movements," she includes links to
everything from the Jewish
Reconstructionist Federation to
Chabad in Cyberspace and the
Orthodox Union.
There are lots of links for tradi-
tional Jewish learning, but also an
impressive collection of links for gay
and lesbian Jews.
