In response to requests from congregations that want Union content to appear on their site but do not want to redesign or move their site, we're delighted to offer RJ Web Express.
RJ Web-Express allows you to ‘embed’ Union content in your website. Torah commentary, news, educational material and holiday items will automatically appear on your site -- formatted properly and updated regularly. It's relatively easy to achieve--but first, make sure RJ Web Express is right for you. The following Q&A may help you decide.
Is your Web site well designed, with a sophisticated, easy to use navigation? Many congregational sites are still "first generation"--designed by a volunteer who knew HTML and loved to explore new computer programs. Over the years, these sites grew topsy-turvey, with items simply piled on top of each other. As a result, it is difficult to find things on the site, and they're often out-of-date. For congregations in this situation, RJ Web-Builder is a much better solution.
What content is available for our congregation to use? We are constantly improving and adding to content that we offer congregations -- suggestions are always welcome! Currently the following information is available:
10 Minutes of Torah
Torah commentary (weekly)
Blessings
Israel News & Features
Interfaith Family Resources
World news (weekly)
RAC news (bi-weekly)
B'nei Mitzvah resources
Holiday information
Shabbat resources
Significant Jewish Books study guides (quarterly)
What is Reform?
Youth and Family News (monthly)
Do we have a choice as to what content will appear? Absolutely! You decide which feeds you want and where you want them to appear.
What is the cost for RJ Web Express? It's free! Congregations in good standing in the Union receive the content as a benefit of membership.
How do we get started? Please use this form. We'll get back to you with instructions on how to implement RJ Web-Express into your site.
