Many Jewish Internet sites use the web as a platform for posting unidirectional material. Although there are some discussion-oriented forums, Sugia realizes the full interactive, user-generated potential of new media, integrating and editing active discussion with written, image, audio, and video material. Sugia empowers participants to choose issues relevant to their lives and to actively create their own sugiot. They become engaged “prosumers”: consumers and producers of content. Here Sugia can complement Keva by extending an online platform to their face to face groups enriching their cultural and issues-based learning.
