How do we best approach the study of “Jews Online”? Do we mean how and what Jews produce online? Are there uniquely Jewish forms of digital media? Is it about representations of Jews: by Jews themselves or by non-Jews? What forms does antisemitism take online, and how can we clearly understand and address it? In general terms, Jews are producers and consumers of digital media, contributing from the earliest years of the internet to the present day. Diverse Jews worldwide actively design and experience online content, from virtual communities and religious education to visual art and political rhetoric. Rather than offering a systematic history or overview, this special issue offers four glimpses into this rich and

<p></p>
The October 7, 2023, attacks on Israel and the resulting war with Gaza1 shifted social media experiences of antisemitism in innumerable and catastrophic ways. Whereas antisemitism was once occasional images of swastikas spray painted on the walls of Jewish fraternity houses, and intermittent comments about Jews controlling the media/banks/world, since October 7th, social media has quickly become a space of constant and explicit Jew hatred. Threats against Jews have become the norm. Swastikas evolved into blood libels and pernicious stereotypes metamorphized into vitriol spewed by anti-Israel protestors claiming to fight for social justice. While this shift is disheartening and exhausting, it is also not

<p></p>
Antisemitism on the internet can appear in many different ways, whether through abrasive hate speech or in coded, casual language.1 Some who share messages with antisemitic undertones may not be fully aware of how their writing connects to a long and fraught legacy of hate and violence. Others deliberately weaponize this legacy through social media networks, especially when social media platforms struggle to effectively identify and regulate antisemitic language.2 Online extremism has real-world effects. Research shows that social media has contributed to the recent spike in violent radicalization amongst youth throughout the world.3 In one unfortunate example of many, the perpetrator of the deadly attack at the

https://muse.jhu.edu/article/965682
<p></p>
Social media has transformed the ways in which we understand ourselves, our place in the world, the spaces in which we move, and how and with whom we interact. Rather than bifurcating the virtual from the real, social media conflates the two (Farman 2021) and, in doing so, works to expose the false dichotomy of other culturally constructed binaries: the private and the public; the collective and the individual; the past and the present; and the isolate and the adjacent (Milan 2015; Papacharissi 2008). As a type of networked public, social media is both shaped by, and shapes society, and does so by “collaps[ing] space and time” (boyd 2008, 243), transforming communication, social relations, political participation

https://muse.jhu.edu/article/965683
<p></p>
The notion of accessible “online kosher entertainment” within a Yiddish-speaking ultra-Orthodox/Haredi1 world would most certainly have raised eyebrows before 2020: A separatist religious group disseminating popular culture via streaming or social media, in a Jewish insider language, following decades of opposition to broadcast and internet technologies on the part of its leadership? And yet, a diversified Yiddish popular culture delivered across accessible digital platforms has expanded rapidly since 2020. While far from monolithic, the Yiddish content creators behind these projects—a majority from the Hasidic world, notably its largest Satmar sect—maintain a strict adherence to Jewish law (Halakha) and observance
