A place for serious discussion of the Jewish religion. Have something interesting to say? A question? A blog post? An interesting link? Post it to the group!

The goal of this group is to for the members of the group to refine themselves as good, thinking Jews through spirited discussion and critical thought, and to collectively arrive to better understandings of what being Jewish in the modern age should entail.

While we appreciate discussions of halakha le'ma'aseh (practical application of halakha), this group is not intended as a place for highly personal case by case halakhic rulings. Please consult a qualified authority for such matters.

Only one rule for continued membership: Don't be a jerk.

For more guidelines on what constitutes being a jerk, see this rather useful link:

Critiques of others' opinions should be as "le'shittasam" (within that person's frame of reference and conception of the issue) as possible, not attacks *of* their frame of reference.

For Group Mission Statement, see the group docs.

Re: Politics, if its a discussion that can be had by people who have no knowledge of Jewish sources, it doesn't belong in this group.
