	abstract = {This article examines the motivation behind bounded groups{\textquoteright} creation of digital enclaves online. Through in-depth interviews with 19 webmasters and staff of selected Israeli Orthodox websites three critical areas of negotiation are explored: (1) social control; (2) sources of authority; and (3) community boundaries. Examining these tensions illuminates a detailed process of self-evaluation which leads religious stakeholders and internet entrepreneurs to form these digital enclaves in order to negotiate the core beliefs and constraints of their offline communities online. These offer spaces of safety for members within the risk-laden tracts of the internet. Examining the tensions accompanying the emergence of these religious websites elucidates community affordances as well as the challenges to the authority that integration of new media poses to closed groups and societies. },

	abstract = {This article provides an overview of research on religion and the Internet within the Israeli context, highlighting how Orthodox Jewish groups have appropriated and responded to the Internet. By surveying Orthodox use of the Internet, and giving special attention to the ultra Orthodox negotiations, a number of key challenges that the Internet poses to the Israeli religious sector are highlighted. Exploring these debates and negotiations demonstrates that while the Internet is readily utilized by many Orthodox groups, it is still viewed by some with suspicion. Fears expressed, primarily by ultra Orthodox groups, shows religious leaders often attempt to constrain Internet use to minimize its potential threat to religious social norms and the structure of authority. This article also highlights the need for research that addresses the concerns and strategies of different Orthodox groups in order to offer a broader understanding of Orthodox engagement with the Internet in Israel.},

	abstract = {Studies conducted over several years in Israel explored social aspects of the developing mobile phone phenomenon. Using a variety of quantitative and qualitative methods the research examined the place that the "Wonder Phone" has been occupying in many facets of life. It was concluded that the mobile is "not only talk"--as a recent campaign slogan of one of Israel{\textquoteright}s mobile providers suggests. Rather, it is a medium through which Israelis define their gendered and national identities; it offers an experience of "being there" and a security net holding family members and loved ones together, especially in terms of terror and war; and it provides a lifeline during existential crises around which rituals of mourning are crystallized. In analyzing the mobile phone as it is contextualized in Israeli society, two opposing social forces can clearly be seen: on the one hand, the mobile is an expression of late modernity and globalization; but on the other hand it is recruited as a tool--as well as a symbol--for the expression of locality and patriotic sentiments.},

are highly critical of the destructive potential of modern communication technologies

between their insular communities and the wider world. In response to this perceived
threat, Haredi authorities have issued bans on the use of certain technologies
and have endorsed the development of acceptable alternatives, such as the so-called
kosher cell phone. And yet, many Haredim, both in the United States and Israel, are
highly sophisticated users and purveyors of these same technologies. This tension
indicates that Haredim have a much more complicated relationship to technology
and to modernity, itself, than their {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}official{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright} stance would suggest.},

It{\textquoteright}s easy to get overwhelmed when a simple Web search lists hundreds or even thousands of sites. Often times you{\textquoteright}re left with a case of information overload -- a feeling of helplessness that results from having too much data and too little idea where to start looking. Judaism is one such topic with a myriad of Web sites devoted to it. You can spend countless hours browsing the vast online resources on this religious and cultural community. Wouldn{\textquoteright}t it be great if there was a guide to the very best of these Web sites?
Judaism on the Web is a highly focused collection of 500 first-class sites related to Judaica. Author Irving Green has done the bulk of the Web searching for you, assembling the cream of the crop and placing them into one of five categories: the Jewish world, the Jewish year, culture, intellectual life, and current issues. You find references to sites that offer 3D virtual synagogues, genealogy resources, Kosher recipes, Jewish comics, Yiddish culture, holiday calendars, Israeli Web sites, coverage of Jewish denominations, and much more.
So don{\textquoteright}t get bogged down by information overload. Let Judaism on the Web make online learning a fun and enlightening experience.},

Some of these choices are based on simple technical or practical criterion (i.e., my smartphone is easy to access during my daily commute), while others are informed by a sense of decorum (i.e., one should not text during a funeral) or the idea that self-imposed limits of media use will lead to a more balanced lifestyle (i.e., no e-mail after work hours). Among such abundance, it is nearly impossible to be an early adopter or enthusiastic user of all media-users are constantly making choices (i.e., to text rather than telephone, to invest in a laptop but not in a smartphone, etc.), and through these choices they express ambivalence about certain media and enthusiasm about others. Users{\textquoteright} deliberations and discussions about these choices and practices are increasingly employed as identity markers (Hoover, Clark and Alters, 2004; Seiter, 2003). Media consumption and avoidance of specific contents or technologies are not only practical choices but also are expressions of identification with a specific class, ethnic, religious or spiritual community.},
