Use of Facebook by Conservative Congregations

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

The following question came across the USCJ-SPIDER listserv, which is the listserv for webmasters of UCSJ member congregations:

“I was wondering how many congregations have Facebook accounts.
If you have one, is it run by the congregation or by the Rabbi?
If run by the congregation, does a volunteer post and monitor information or
is that handled by a staff member?
Is it been a positive experience.”

These questions got me thinking, again, about how TI uses electronic communication tools, and what members like and don’t like about connecting online.

I’ve added a few options in the last couple of days on our website, and the office and ECC have been utilizing Constant Contact.

What is your take on our use of e-media?

New Directory – love it!!

Sunday, March 21st, 2010

we all got our new member directories a little while ago, and today is my first time using. Yasher koach to all who had a hand in putting it together!! The type is lovely, and very readable, and it just is a pleasure to use!! I know there was some griping initially about errors, and outdated information, but I think it’s a job well done!!
