Youth and Culture
1. Who are the audiences for these websites? Do they successfully reach out to these audiences?
1. Who are the audiences for these websites? Do they successfully reach out to these audiences?
Hip young adults, particularly Jews. They do successfully reach out to these audiences because they draw your attention in gnarly ways.
2. How do these websites interact with their visitors? Name two ways and indicate which one does it best.
The websites have bright colors and attention-snatching pictures. Hillel.org does this BEST!
3. How does each of these groups/movements/organizations use technology to create a “fence” around the Torah? Are there “gates”?
They expand the boundaries of the Torah to include modern culture. Sixthandi.org even hosts non Jewish performers to attract a wider audience.
4. Do you find that each of these websites is in line with how its creator uses and interprets Jewish law?
The creators of the websites interpret the Jewish laws liberally, but still with respect to the laws. They make it so that the reader doesn’t have to just read about Jewish laws.
5. If you were to add something to these websites, what would it be (i.e. what are they missing)?
They could also include local teenagers like NOAR students, and videos or interactive pieces, which would attract more a different range of viewers.
this is fabulous! way to go! you are hipalicious
