Jewish Home?

Bettina Tizzy calls Jewish Home "one of the sweetest places I have seen geared to faith in Second Life," and to be sure there are several superficially soothing features at this installation. But it is also deeply disturbing. The little synagogue at the top of the hill is dark and delapitated. The pews are in disrepair, and you can't sit on them in any event. Outside, there are some dance balls and the soothing sound of birds chirping with flowing water. But there is also a flaming cross labeled, "burned at the stake." There is a bridge leading to a red door. Open the door and enter ...... Is this sweetness, or is it terror?

Visit Jewish home and decide for yourself.

Meh. What with the burning cross and the skulls, it seems to be mostly about death. And not Jewish at all.

Inside the moon is worth a look. Perhaps Maarz Aya is a brooding fellow with some deep sadness. Certainly understandable.
