main input for the weekly Website update as well, providing consistent and timely information for congregants through several channels while minimizing duplicative information-collecting. SILVER BETH EL SYNAGOGUE 500-900 New Rochelle, NY Submitted by Olivier Vogel 914-235-2700 Beth El’s website is designed to communicate with the synagogue’s congregants and to present the shul with its many programs and activities to the community at large and introduce it to potential new members and other Jews interested in the numerous events held at the center each and every week. The website’s Home page or Welcome page displays a front picture of the synagogue with its location and information on how to reach it and a short summary about the shul. It also gives the viewer the option to click on Religious Services, upcoming Holidays/News/Events or Online Donation Requests. The main menu of web pages appears on the left. This menu appears on any selected web page to facilitate the navigation from page to page. The main menu of options on the Welcome page lists the programs and activities offered at Beth El. In order of appearance from top to bottom, you can select: > Religious Services > Calendar of Events > Nursery School > Religious School > Youth Community > Summer Camp > Limud (Adult Education ) > College-Age Committee > Chesed Community > Israel Action > Library > Judaica Gift Shop > Retirees’ Club > Seniors Program > Men’s Club > Sisterhood > Museum > Catering > Online Donations > Comments/Feedback > Links > Site Map and Search On the upper right side of many pages, such as the Welcome page or the pages listed above, a submenu lists several other options from which to pick. SILVER TEMPLE REYIM 100-250 Newton, MA Submitted by Adam Sowalsky 617-527-2410 Through the Temple Reyim Website, we aim to inform our members, potential members and the general community about our identity, vision, people and programs, and to increase the connection of our members to their Jewish lives. The website is designed and administered so as to be kept current, to be accessible and easily navigated, and to reinforce other means of communication with our members. Graphics enhance the presentation, and the site is unified by a sitewide style sheet. The site is designed in layers, comprising: a public domain; a layer for members only; and a layer for administrators of the site. In the public domain, all viewers have access to regularly updated features: upcoming event
calendar, monthly bulletin, photo gallery, schedule of services and a weekly newsletter, which includes a link to the weekly MachshevotHa’Rav, a blog through which our Rabbi initiates discussion on current issues. Emergency information can be posted in a highlighted banner on the home page. Many other pages in the public domain bring information about the people and programs of our congregation and links to sites of connected organizations, including the USCJ. With username and password, members can reach additional information in the members’ domain, which includes the membership directory, bulletin archives, a means. to submit items for the weekly newsletter, and a member information update form. Access to the third layer, the administrative domain, is provided to the persons responsible for updates of the weekly newsletter, the event calendar, the photo gallery or emergency notices; this distribution of access greatly facilitates keeping the information current. A Webmaster provides overall maintenance, design modification and control of access to the various levels. Our Webmaster monitors site usage, the number of users who have logged in and updated information, and the total number of visits. Interviews with new members and prospective members who call our office for information indicate that our message is being received. SILVER ADAS ISRAEL CONGREGATION Over 900 Washington, DC Submitted by Russell Smith 202-362-4433 . Adas Israel’s website is a dynamic and informative source for members, prospective members, and the community. It includes a breadth and depth of information that is intended to assist, inform, and welcome. From the history of Adas Israel and its clergy and lay leadership, to educational (adult and youth) programming, membership information, religious services, social action, and our auxiliaries, the website offers a window into many aspects of the synagogue and congregation. The website is updated several times a week by a single staff person, who receives information from various members of the staff, auxiliary groups, and lay members. With easy to navigate menus and sub-menus, the website offers a user-friendly interface for both the first-time visitor and the repeat reader. In addition to general synagogue information about services, holidays, adult education, etc., the website provides various constituencies within the congregation an opportunity to share information, news and events. As such, there are pages dedicated to the Religious School; Nursery School; Sisterhood & Men’s Club; Youth Department; Traditional Egalitarian Minyan; Ruach Minyan; Social Action Council; Young Professionals & Singles; and Gift Shop. Individuals (both staff and lay) are encouraged to submit materials for posting. The ever-changing nature of the internet and the Adas Israel website enables us to vigorously pursue the ongoing project of improving and updating. Our website receives a daily average of 150 visitors and more than 2500 hits. The enclosed pages document the website in its current iteration (as of April 18, 2007). HONORABLE MENTION CONGREGATION OHAV SHALOM 500-900 Albany, NY Submitted by Lauren Schur 518-489 4706 Congregation Ohav Shalom takes great pride in our website that not only represents Ohav but it also represents our Jewish community as a whole. As we do not pay a professional to do our website, we think it has a special simplicity and makes our congregants feel more at ease and comfortable with our warmth. We have an easy to navigate tool bar on the left side with a number of links that I will discuss in brevity. Our congregation website consists of a home page with upcoming events as well as our construction link for pictures and day by day information of our construction website link. Once you click on the construction link, it takes you to a week by week description of the construction as well as a day by day construction guide. This is a very progressive site that allows congregants and donors to look at the daily progress by numbers and pictures of our construction so they can justify just where their money is going. There is also a question and answer sheet on this page that consists of any and all of the questions congregants could possibly have on how the construction will affect them. The next link is called, about us, which contains our mission statement, as well as a congregational update. The next link is news, and this is a quick look into what we are really doing here at Ohav -- this page contains recent event pictures of Ohav staff and congregation. The following page consists of events and scheduling along with Minyan and all services times. Each event is current and has specifics such as: where, when, contact info and a brief explanation of the event. Our next link is location and has directions from all of the areas you
