How To Start An Online Syangogue…Part I

August 26, 2010 by Patrick Beaulier

Originally posted on Jewcy.

Once upon a time, a group of people decided to start an online synagogue called OneShul. This independent minyan consisted of two buddies in Atlanta (a graphic designer and his weirdly Type-A musician friend) and all their friends that they met online who loved Judaism and were a little different in their own, unique ways.

In a chat room attached to their temporary cyber sanctuary the friends talked about what they wanted the synagogue to look like, feel like, and how they wanted to be represented as a community. They knew they wanted, more than anything, for the world to know that you can have a Jewish community on the internet that is just as good as any JCC or million-dollar synagogue down the street.

So they did what any reasonable group would do: they started an IndieGoGo page to raise money to make their shul happen.

Stay tuned for details as they happen…

In Search of the Kosher Cheeseburger

June 24, 2010 by newkosher

Think that a kosher cheeseburger can’t exist? You’re wrong! Here’s a few of our favorite examples…

Talia’s Steakhouse Cheeseburger

OK, it doesn’t have bacon (of any kind) on it, but Talia’s is the first restaurant in NYC to serve a kosher cheeseburger, so you have to give them credit for that.

The Jewlicious Burger

The kids at Jewlicious are the real winners in the kosher bacon cheeseburger experiment. Vegetarian and chocolate filled, this burger sounds absolutely disgusting…but really, really funny.

There’s several other combos that work, all equally delicious…

  • The South African Burger: ground beef, vegan cheese, and Macon Bacon (made from beef in South Africa)
  • Mary Had A Little…Burger: ground lamb, vegan cheese and lamb bacon
  • The Veggie: Morningstar Farms vegan burger, veggie bacon (contains egg) and tofu cheese
