About elpasojewishcalendar.org
This site is a collaborative effort, coordinated by the El Paso Jewish Federation. Synagogues and other organizations within the Jewish community maintain their online calendars, and elpasojewishcalendar.org aggregates the content. We do this for two reasons. For organizational leaders, it helpful to see what else is happening in the community when planning events; and individuals can visit the site to get a sense of what's happening in our diverse and active community.
The site is only as useful as the content that streams to it. Are you a member of an organization whose content is missing, or out-of-date? Please speak with the leadership of the organization to insure that events are being properly added to the calendar. We welcome your comments and concerns.
Finally, a word about the formatting: Google Calendar (Beta), the platform on which we've built the site, has many advantages that make it a great choice for our purposes. One significant deficit is the inflexible formatting of the monthly view. Without word-wrapping, and without scaling the boxes for each date to include all of the events, the month view is far less useful than it would be otherwise. We (along with the millions of others who are using Google Calendar!) look forward to Google fixing this problem. In the meantime, we encourage you to use the "Agenda" and "Week" views when visiting elpasojewishcalendar.org.
