If Emma Goldman Used Google

By Leah Berkenwald May 5, 2010

Tamar Fox over at My Jewish Learning discovered the new Search Story tool at YouTube that allows you to easily mimic Google’s renowned “Parisian Love Story commercial.” She saw the potential in this right away, and put together two videos, one about the history of the state of Israel and one about Jewish lifecycle events.

I decided to jump on the bandwagon and asked myself, what if radical activist Emma Goldman used Google?

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning, nonprofit journalism during this critical time.

The coming year promises to be filled with more complex and historic developments. We are entering an era where independent, fact-based Jewish journalism will be more important than ever. We need to be ready for whatever 2025 will bring, and with your help, we can be.

We’ve set a goal to raise $260,000 by December 31. That’s an ambitious goal, but one that will give us the resources we need to invest in the high quality news, opinion, analysis and cultural coverage that isn’t available anywhere else.
