Great Idea from a Reb on the Web

Major props to Rabbi Eli Garfinkel for using technology in a creative and forward-thinking way. The Ask My Rabbi Show lets the inquisitive anonymously send their Jewish-related questions to the reb, who will answer them in front of a camera and post the answer online.

My question: why aren’t more Jewish organizations thinking so creatively about web technologies?

    This is a fantastic idea and a great way to reach out to all people on a global scale! Another innovative use of technology that I’ve seen is rabbis who have created video holiday greetings (for example, for Rosh ha-Shanah, the Jewish new year), instead of sending an electronic greeting.

    Interesting – do you think the video cards do more to further their mission?
