TORONTO, ON – NOVEMBER 25, 2008– A new website recently launched for individuals who want to enhance their understanding of Judaism on a safe, yet interactive, video site. KosherTube.com offers a classic web 2.0 social networking site, where visitors may become registered members and upload video. However, unlike other interactive sites, submitted videos are thoroughly vetted by the KosherTube staff, under the guidance of it’s distinguished Rabbinic Advisory Board. This process ensures all of the content at the site remains “kosher.”
Anyone, regardless of religious persuasion, is welcome to visit www.Koshertube.com. Visitors can browse the content there and register to upload kosher video. KosherTube’s guidelines state that “uploaded videos should impart something useful about traditional Jewish spirituality, values, and/or observance, and they should have an appropriate level of modesty.”
The website features an interactive forum, a “Kids Korner,” a daily Torah Thought and over 10 other categories of Jewish videos. The site also provides detailed information about KosherTube’s mission and editorial staff and Rabbinic Board.
For more information, go to www.Koshertube.com. Questions can be directed to (905) 882-0111 ext #1 email: info@KosherTube.com
