GREAT FREE RESOURCES YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT:

The Jewish Encyclopedia, published in the early 1900's, is completely online.  For historical, not time-sensitive information about Judaism, this is terrific.

My Jewish Learning is a great resource about anything to do with Judaism, past and present.

Union of Reform Judaism (URJ) is the website for the Reform Movement.

Worldcat,  a global catalog of library collections. You can search for books, music, video, articles and much more at a library near you.

Your public library!   Your library card enables you to access hundreds of wonderful resources.

For example, if you'd like to learn Hebrew,  and you have a library card for a Minuteman Library Network library,  go to Minuteman, click on Databases, and scroll down to Mango Languages. You'll get instructions from there!   There are programs for children of all ages, and adults!
