NAmir@CyberJudaism.org For the first time, at the click of a mouse, users were able to tune into Shabbat services from 4 different locations, all at the same website this past Shabbat.
CyberJudaism.org's ShulCasting service is live and functioning—with services in 3 different time zones—available to anyone this High Holy Days who is unable to physically be present for a synagogue service. (Santa Cruz, CA) September 13, 2009 On this just-completed Shabbat, CyberJudaism's Spiritual Center successfully "shulcasted" services from multiple locations and multiple denominations allowing people not able to physically attend a synagogue be present with a Jewish community to celebrate Shabbat.
ShulCasting members Temple Judea of Tarzana, CA and Central Synagogue of New York, plus links to Temple Emanu-El of Birmingham AL and OurJewishCommunity.org of Cincinnati Ohio gave those seeking Jewish connection access to Sabbath services Friday evening and Saturday morning.
Congregation Shirat Hayam of Swampscott, MA has also indicated that they expect to be members of CyberJudaism.org and to be shulcasting by this Friday's Rosh Hashana evening service. A conservative synagogue, Shirat Hayam would add a 3rd Jewish denomination to CyberJudaism's offerings.
Two Renewal synagogues are also in the process of establishing shulcasting capability with the hopes of being able to shulcast their High Holy Day services this year.
CyberJudaism's Shulcasting service will continue to expand with the intention of
• offering multiple Shabbat worship opportunities every week and:
• offering a minyan every hour on the hour around the world during the week.
