ours after assailants shot
Rabbi Artur Ovadia Isakov on
a street in the Russian repub-
lic of Dagestan July 25, mainstream
Russian media were still scrambling to
ascertain his identity.
But Isakov's name and condition
already were known to the readers of
Jewishnet.ru, a growing social network
with 80,000 daily users that has relied
on user participation to cover Jewish
news and help connect fast-assimilating
Jews across the Russian-speaking world.
The first report about Isakov was post-
ed by a user from Israel, where the rabbi
is recovering from what was likely a hate
attack by Muslim extremists. He was dis-
charged from the hospital Sunday.
Introducing video tributes. An homage to a life well-lived.
At Hebrew Memorial Chapel, we never stop trying to find new ways to add meaning
to the funeral service. Recently, we began offering video tributes -- a photographic
montage celebrating the life of your loved one. This keepsake plays on video monitors
located throughout the chapel before or after the service, and on our website.

Other users added new information
on Jewishnet's Facebook page, includ-
ing details about Isakov's evacuation to
Israel and pictures of the rabbi's family.
"Traffic on the website usually
picks up when something dramatic
happens in the Middle East or involv-
ing the Jewish community," said Igor
Kozlovskiy, a technology professional
and the site's co-founder.
While English-speaking Jews have
a number of social networks to share
news and connect around shared inter-
ests, Russian-speaking Jewry had none
when Kozlovskiy founded Jewishnet
with a partner, Roman Gold, in 2011.
The site, which maintains sections
devoted to dating, couch-surfing and
finding travel buddies, is used as well to
promote Jewish events in Kiev, home to
one of the largest Jewish communities
