Refering to net.religion.jewish's creation, Yitz Twersky writes: >This type of worldwide forum was started by Rabbi Meir Shapiro with the Daf >Yomi.

It seems that when mainstream American Jews mix with Orthodox Jews in a forum as anonymous as the net, it turns into a free for all! I've been discussing this with some other netters and we have a few ideas. Create a newsgroup, possibly moderated to deal with Jewish culture, not religion. For example: Israel, Jewish Singles, Jewish folklore (ie. dancing, art, literature, etc...), Jewish lifestyles, Jewish trends (both with an American emphasis), and generally--discussion of mainstream contemporary Jewish life. Sound good? Call it something like net.culture.jewish. Does that serve a broad enough group for you Rich? Please write me back with your opinion, and especially your aproval! >>>>Adam Beslove (c)1985 (aka Odious Verity) ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- (UUCP: ...!cbosgd!osu-eddie!beslove) (CSNet: beslove@ohio-state) The world is my sandbox, (ARPA: beslove%ohio-state.csnet@CSNET-RELAY) humanity my playmates.
