O “Clickonjudaism” website attracts Jews from Generation X Reform Movement's Latest Outreach Project Seeks to Engage Unaffiliated Young People In time for the start of the Jewish New Year, the Reform movement has launched clickonJudaism, an Internet website specifically for people in their 20s and 30s. The site presents a liberal point of view but is non-institutional in tone and is designed to provide the informa tion that is relevant to young adults. “Our challenge in trying to engage young Jews is to meet them where they are,” said Dru Greenwood, director of the Commission on Synagogue Affiliation. “Even if they’re not in synagogues, we know they’re cer tainly on the Internet.” A project of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations- Central Conference of American Rabbis Commission on Synagogue Affiliation, the new website’s address is easy to remember: http://clickonJudaism.org. “ClickonJudaism is designed for Jews who are well-educated and media-savvy, but not necessarily engaged with organized Jewish life,” said Rabbi Hara Person, the site’s editor who was ordained by Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in May. “It’s a doorway into liberal Judaism for young people who are seeking meaning in their lives but who haven’t found where to connect yet. And we believe it also speaks to young people who are exploring Judaism for the first time and may consider becoming Jewish.” Many of the contributors to the site are members of Generation X, or Generation Aleph, as the Reform movement calls it. For its debut, the site features articles focusing on the new year, including “Preparing for the High Holidays: The Grand Slam Within” by Rabbi Sarah Reines, ‘Tzedakah: Renewal of the Spirit,” by Rabbi Josh Zweiback, “The Prayer of Silence” by Rabbi Lawrence Kushner, “The Ethics of Forgiveness” by Rabbi Peter Schaktman, “Vampires and Tcshuvah” by Rabbi Burt Sctiuman, and “Why Are These S«rvices Different From All Other S'^vices'^' by Cank»r J.»sec Wdff a^ition to rabbis and cantors. Icki’fdudjnmH whtcfs.iBcllide Jewish artists, educators, scholars and professionals. “The tone is per sonal and conversational, never sermonic,’’ added Rabbi Person. “That’s one of the aspects that makes clickonJudaism so different from other Jewish websites.” The site’s information is orga nized around five themes: facing today’s world, which includes arti cles about media and culture; mak ing a difference, which explores ethics and tikkun olam (repairing the world); searching for God, which includes an exploration of worship, spirituality, prayer, and healing; finding a nlace, which offers ways into Jewish community for Jews, intermarried couples, and those seeking conversion; and doing Jewish, which explores the choices Jews make about parent ing, lifecycle celebrations and holi days. Funded by a two-year grant from the Feld Family Foundation, which supports projects of national scope that change the face of the Jewish community, clickonJudaism will be updated frequently so that visitors will want to return often. Upcoming articles include a look at creating women’s lifecycle rituals, (Continued on page 25) Thi,' OKfliy...*fftougli cllch*s alrvadyl Just Join us for proa ran** tHo fall ••••on: OCTOBER 11 at 10:30 AM - paid up break fast for members only - delicious catered breakfast and a great program; “How to Get Well for 2000 Using Alternative Methods.” Free with your $23 paid membership in Sisterhood; $10 for guests.
