There's a lot of information here, but the site's organization is haphazard and cluttered. There's a search engine that lets you zero in on a particular city or type of organization, but you can't search by name. If you're looking for local affiliates of the American Jewish Congress, for example, lots of luck. The listings are also less than corn- prehensive. The search engine turned up only 13 Jewish Federations in this country. Still, the Global Jewish Directory is a resource that could become much more useful with a little slicker orga- nization and a better search engine. — James D. Besser Seen On The Net: ar out: theJewish band Shlock Rock, which promotes Jewish continuity through music and parody, has a cool new Web site. Here you can learn • xt about such classics as "Woodshlock" and "Bring Back that Shabbos Feeling." Alas, you can only hear snippets from a handful of their songs via Real Audio. Yeah, it's a commercial site designed to sell tapes and CDs, but the design is attrac- Contact tive and content punchy. Give these guys a look. ltisca.t Save The Date: M o n . , Nov. 1, 1999 ow many Jew sh organizations can you name? If it's less than 2,567, you may wish to bookmark the Global Jewish Directory Web site for future reference. The strength of this site is its international slant. You can browse organiza- tions by country, from Angola to Yugoslavia, with stops in between. Want to find where Jews hang out in Ukraine or Guatemala? This is the place. There are 207 pages of listings for the United States — mostly syna- gogues, not organizations, but still a useful listing. There's information about each: name, address, phone number, Web site and the like. Less useful are the photo galleries of famous synagogues and rabbis. The pictures are too small and there isn't enough information about what you're viewing. The Jewish directory folks also sell data-based versions of the information to legitimate Jewish organizations. r 15th Annual Induction Dinner D Julius Spielberg Racewalker Allan Tolmich Track & Field Join the Michigan Jewish Sports Hall of Fame as It Welcomes This Year's Inductees: Alan Rothenberg, Julius Spielberg, Allan Tolmich, and Joe Dumars, this year's Alvin Foon Award winner.
