» The Jewish New Year
[http://www.chabad.org/holidays/jewishnewyear/default.htm/jewish/High-Holidays.html]
This hefty site gives a wonderful breadth to the High Holy Days and the beginning of the Jewish New Year. There's plenty of audio — the blowing of the shofar or the recitation of prayers — but we recommend culling from the expansive set of stories surrounding the holidays. Plus, they have e-cards to boot!

» IKAR
[http://www.ikar-la.org/]
The online presence of Rabbi Brous' congregation in Los Angeles. Good explanations of their origins, their community outreach, and other forms of tikkun can be found here.

» My Jewish Learning
[http://www.myjewishlearning.com]
This site is an SOF staple for research and understanding of Jewish practices, culture, and terminology. If you want to explore Judaism, this is the place to start.

» REBOOT
[http://www.rebooters.net/]
A Jewish organization dedicated to examining "questions of Jewish identity, community, and meaning on its own terms," this site offers some interesting polls and research data, podcasts, and publishes a jazzy journal called Guilt & Pleasure that's worth purchasing.

» Synagogue 3000
[http://www.synagogue3000.org/]
A network of Jewish thinkers who are challenging commonly held conventions about Jewish life and worship structures. Two areas of the site worth reading are its blog, Synablog, which keeps you in the loop in news in the emerging Jewish community, and the S3K Report, which reports on the successes of Jewish congregations in engaging young adults.
