But nerdy Jewish kids jealous that their Christian counterparts can track Santa's GPS coordinates while visions of sugarplums dance in their heads now have their answer to the <a href="http://www.noradsanta.org" target="_blank">NORAD Santa Tracker</a>: Elijah Tracker.</p> <p><a href="http://www.elijahtracker.com" target="_blank">ElijahTracker.com</a>, a project of online Jewish congregation <a href="http://www.ourjewishcommunity.org" target="_blank">OurJewishCommunity.org</a>, isn't quite the same as Santa Tracker, but in typical Jewish fashion, it's a similar idea done in a little more thoughtful and interesting way. For the entire week of Passover, Elijah Tracker will "follow" the prophet, with updates several times a day, as he stops in 70 Jewish communities around the world.</p> <p>Currently, Elijah is at <a href="http://www.elijahtracker.com/2011/04/18/barcelona-gaudi" target="_blank">his first stop</a> at the Gaudi Apartment in Barcelona. You can also follow Elijah on Twitter, <a href="http://twitter.com/ElijahTracker" target="_blank">@ElijahTracker</a>.</p> <p>This isn't the first time OurJewishCommunity.org has done an innovative, interactive Passover event. In 2009, the congregation's rabbis tweeted the seder, and in 2010 the site hosted the world's first online seder, an event that will be repeated Tuesday, April 19 (that's tomorrow, the night of the second seder) at 5 p.m. Eastern.</p>
