Questions:

1. Who are the audiences for these websites? Do they successfully reach out to these audiences?

Single desperate Jewish men over the age of 35 that love Justin Bieber. They successfully reach out to these people but the website looks pitiful to other people.

2. How do these websites interact with their visitors? Name two ways and indicate which one does it best.

They used sensationalized stories, ugly pictures of Justin Bieber, and ads for J-Wed Jewish dating site.

3. How does each of these groups/movements/organizations use technology to create a “fence” around the Torah? Are there “gates”?

Depending on the website, each website offers different options. For example, some websites have advertising for only Jewish dating sites, while others have ads for all religion dating sites.

4. Do you find that each of these websites is in line with how its creator uses and interprets Jewish law?

If the creators meant for the sites to relate to their interpretation of Jewish law, they sure didn’t show it.

5. If you were to add something to these websites, what would it be (i.e. what are they missing)?

Stuff that actually relates to the topic we are researching and/or what the website is actually supposed to be about.-
