According to a post on NY Convergence, Park Slope’s Congregation Beth Elohim is embracing the computer age. The synagogue recently received a $5,000 grant from the Union of Reform Judaism to put their services, classes and events online.

Next fall they will be live streaming their Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services. In other words you’ll be able to “attend” the Kol Nidre on your iPhone.

You’ve heard of distance learning, right? And church services have been on Sunday morning television for years. Why not virtual reform Judaism right here in Park Slope.

It’s certainly a way to reach people who won’t go to shul because they can’t (elderly, incapacitated) or don’t want to (nervous, inhibited, don’t like crowds).
