Summary: This thesis described and discussed the extent to which virtual environments were incorporated into Jewish culture and Jewish religious rituals. The question of the research was to verify whether digital technologies are present and how they have modified Jewish rituals and whether they play an inclusive role in Judaism. The methodology applied was mixed, including a bibliographic review, taking a exploratory and descriptive ethnographic approach to anthropology. The theoretical foundation initially covered aspects of information science, cyberspace, cyberculture and cyber-religiosity, later we worked on the concepts of culture, original peoples and Jewish identity within the theoretical framework of anthropology and specialized Jewish theories, therefore about exclusion and religious inclusion in Judaism, and a discussion on the description of conversion to Judaism online, rabbinic ordination online and Jewish religious rituals on the internet. The bibliographic review covered the impact of new digital technologies on society addressed by Bembem (2013), Lévy (1999), Miklos (2010) among others; and on the aspects of philosophy and anthropology proposed by Geertz (2014), Lévy-Strauss (2017), Malinoswi (2013), Franz Boas (2011), Franz Boas (2023), Scocuglia (2002), Muhl (2020), Dilthey (1989), Silva (2015), as well as Jewish and crypto-Jewish history and culture with Cukierkorn (1994), Novinsky (2015), Donin (1983) among others, and finally theories on inclusion and pluralism with the authors Freire (2008), Cézar (2012), Nadell (2021), Arendt (2007), Arendt (1979), Winckler (2004), Dolsten (2017) and other authors. The first chapter addressed digital technologies, cyberspace, cyberculture, cyber-religiosity and cyber-religion in virtual environments and their social impacts; the second chapter focused on the genesis of human cultural processes, indigenous and original peoples, native peoples, ancestral peoples; the third chapter leans towards reflections on pluralism, inclusion and Jewish religious inclusion; the fourth chapter was the application of the description of Jewish websites about Jewish studies for conversion to Judaism and for online rabbinic training and showed the existence of both websites and virtual social networks, and the possibilities that virtual environments made possible for various cultural manifestations, Jewish religious cults and rituals online. During this thesis, it was confirmed that rabbinates and rabbis who convert to official Judaism over the internet are already a reality and that Jewish websites and the Jewish press have disclosed that there are people who have already sought conversion to official Judaism over the internet for various reasons. factors, whether due to geographic distance, Jewish segregation of local physical Jewish communities, parochialism, elitism and oligarchism, political and religious arbitrariness as barriers to conversion to official Judaism, among other variables.
