Hi Everyone!

Sukkot is the Jewish holiday that commemorates how protective
"Clouds of Glory" surrounded the Jewish people after leaving
Egypt during the forty years of wandering in the desert. It
also commemorates how the Jews lived in temporary dwellings
during that same time.
Sukkot begins Friday evening, September 20th and continues
until Sunday, September 29th 2002.
(In Israel, ends Saturday night, September 28.)

I posted on my website 75 links about Sukkot,
ranging from laws and customs to games and recipes.
Site languages include English, Hebrew, Russian, Spanish,
French, Portuguese, German and Italian.

Happy Sukkot!

INTERNET 'INDISPENSIBLE' TO TODAY'S STUDENTS
Eighty-six percent of today's college students are hooked up to the Web,
and 79% say being online has had a positive influence on their lives
overall, according to the latest survey from the Pew Internet and American
Life Project. Not surprisingly, nearly three out of four college students
check their e-mail every day and use the Web for library research. A
majority of students report improved relationships with classmates, thanks
to the Internet, and nearly half say that using e-mail allows them to voice
an idea to a professor that they likely would not have expressed in class.
And while the high-speed connections on most college campuses do enable
more media downloading, students use the Internet just as frequently for
academic purposes, making use of course-related mail lists, e-mail and Web
sites. "Today's 18-year-old college freshmen were born the same year as the
PC was introduced, and they have grown up with these technologies," says
the report's author, Steve Jones. "To them, the Internet and e-mail are as
commonplace as telephones and television -- and equally as indispensable…
This generation is going to end up making the Internet a major part of
their lives as they go into the work force. The folks who are trying to
market broadband are missing out if they're not targeting this wired market."
