Lubavitch UK Goes Virtual

London, UK – January 31st 2002 – Lubavitch UK has just inaugurated a new extensive Mega-Site that reflects its remarkable presence throughout the country, bringing its acclaimed outreach efforts into cyberspace in an impressive effort to connect with today's tech-savvy British Jews.

(PRWEB) February 2, 2002

In addition to “Latest Chabad-Lubavitch News, Parshah & Daily Dose" sections, and a “candle lighting time finder”, the site also includes - among many other features - a unique module which will help the user locate a class or event of their choice, that suits their taste and schedule. This module cover all areas where a Lubavitch facility is located, throught the UK. Additionaly there are also ten “pull-down menus” brimming with information on all activities that Chabad-Lubavitch carries out around the country, offering help to ANY Jew, WHEREVER they are located in the UK.

Readers would no longer have to visit their local Chabad-Lubavitch centre or wait for their latest mailing, to see up to date what is happening at their local Chabad-Lubavitch centre. The website is monitored and constantly updated, with new events being added as soon as new activities are announced.

Commenting on the launch, Rabbi Nachman Sudak OBE, Principal of Lubavitch UK, had the following to say:

“I am overjoyed that we have managed to reach this great milestone. My thanks go to the many people who helped make this project possible. This is a special day for the Jewish internet scene in the UK”
