Finding
A Synagogue in the Proverbial Haystack
New Web Site Feature Facilitates Synagogue Search
Going
on vacation? Moving into a
new community? The question
is, how do you find an Orthodox synagogue that is in your area and suits
your needs? The answer is,
the Orthodox Union’s new website feature that will make this process
significantly easier.
The
new site, www.ou.org/network,
locates Orthodox synagogues using a comprehensive search engine based on
location. Director of
Synagogue Services Rabbi Moshe Krupka, explains, “Anyone who logs onto
the site can insert a location and receive a listing of the Orthodox shuls
in that area. We believe that
this new addition will serve as an essential resource to Jews throughout
the country.”
In
recent months, the OU has made its website, www.ou.org,
more user-friendly by revamping two of its most popular links, the NCSY
and IPA pages.
The improved sites provide better graphics as well as a more
advanced way to navigate information.
The aim of the reconstruction is to make the abundance of
programming, information and opportunities that the Orthodox Union
provides more visible and more easily accessed.
The Orthodox Union, now in its
second century of service to the Jewish
community of America and beyond, is the world leader in youth
work, advocacy for the disabled,
synagogue services, adult
education and political action.
Its kosher supervision
label, the
 , is the world’s most
recognized kosher symbol and can be found on over 250,000 products in 68
countries around the globe.
