ABSTRACT We completed systematic line-by-line analyses of 1383 U.S. synagogues’ websites’ – publicly accessible webpages, online brochures/newsletters, online calendars – to assess content that mentioned physical activity. Mention of physical activity opportunities was tallied overall, by program category (social justice, worship, social group, exercise), and by specific physical activity. Crosstabulations were used to detect differences by denomination. Only 35% of synagogues mentioned even one physical activity opportunity/program, and for these 482 synagogues, programs mentioned by category and proportion included: social group (67%), worship (32%), exercise (31%), and social justice (27%). Post hoc analyses of cell standardized residuals (z scores) revealed denominational differences were most pronounced among Conservative (mentioned more frequently than expected exercise programs and >1 program category) and Orthodox (mentioned less frequently than expected social justice and exercise programs, and >1 program category) synagogues’ websites. Most synagogues underutilize their multimedia platforms to promote engagement in physical activity. Future research should endeavor to understand the beliefs and attitudes rabbis/synagogue media gatekeepers hold toward physical activity, in general, and their perceptions of the synagogue’s role in promoting it to congregants.

ABSTRACT Photographs of female clergy conducting Jewish ceremonies in Reform synagogues are considered highly controversial by Ultra-Orthodox Judaism in Israel. Such photographs appear on social media of Reform Judaism, which advocates egalitarianism in religion. Beit Daniel synagogue in Tel Aviv is active in this realm, introducing images of diversity and inclusion in their social networks. The study presents an analysis of forms photographic documentation of ceremonies in and outside the synagogue, posted on Facebook and websites. This study engages in a visual analysis of the images. It decodes the visual elements that participate in a struggle for visual cultural normalization of gender egalitarianism. Concepts of religious viewing and critical viewing of images on social media are discussed.

ABSTRACT This study examines how Christian churches in Norway use social media. The key finding is that the churches do not take extensive advantage of the opportunities for two-way communication offered by the platforms, but primarily use their social media channels to promote church activities or broadcast content without inviting a dialogue. Based on the churches’ own stated appreciation for building relationships, as well as existing research from media and communication studies, media and religion studies, and studies within strategic communication, this article argues for a stronger focus on the ritual and relational aspects of online communication from the church organizations.
