Hungarian Shofar Association – Civil courage revival!
Too much claptrap? We act instead!
Too much claptrap? We act instead!
The independent Jewish news portal has been active since June 2003. Due to our uniquely developed technology we present a huge quantity of information to our visitors in a carefully systematized way on many tens of thousand (!) pages.
Shofargo is the newest Hungarian language Jewish companion and company seeker service. In our quickly growing community you will find friends, pen pals and people to talk to, and, sooner or later, perhaps your partner may also appear among us. In our private forum you can freely discuss any topic, get community information, participate in language games and share your problems with others. Several hundreds of people have joined us since November 2005, not only from various regions of the country but from abroad as well. Many have already found their companions, others only look for company. At Shofargo there is a teeming life in every age group.
Radio Zs is the first Hungarian language Jewish community radio which has been broadcasting its pilot program on Internet since October 2003. Radio Zs is an unprecedented new non-profit, self-organised and organic media. We have listeners all over the world; several hundreds of people listen to our programs every day.
Have you taken a walk in the Jewish quarter recently? Can you see what is happening? Do you understand what is happening? Is it happening for you?
The main objective of the project is to set up a local Jewish radio station on a non-profit basis with the aim to provide an overall communication channel for the Hungarian Jewry. The radio will project a new approach in terms of anti Semitism, the state of Israel and Judaism. It will influence the Hungarian public opinion by means of unbiased reportage and provide a framework of reference for its audience. At the same time it will express the unique voice of Hungarian Jews.
The concept of the Hungarian Shofar Association named New horizons can be viewed as an attempt to form a new overall strategy of 21st century for the European Jewry, with the purpose of sharing information . We are suggesting a brand new approach that could work in a coherent system in trying to reduce or reverse negative tendencies, empowering and speeding the positive ones up while preserving the delicate balance of existing structures, giving free space to organic developments to thrive.
