Mail.Jewish is a mailing list which deals principally with

questions related to Halacha (Jewish law), interpretations of
|
|
Torah and other issues of concern/interest within a TRADITIONAL
|
|
Judaic framework.
|
|
The mailing list is compiled by Avi Feldblum at Bell Labs. The
|
|
focus of the list is to provide a forum to discuss general
|
|
jewish topics within a framework that accepts the validity of
|
|
halacha. As there is a fair amount of discussion on halachic
|
|
issues, the list is sometimes refered to as the halachic
|
|
mailing list.

From: Chaim Dworkin <chaim@ENIAC.SEAS.UPENN.EDU>
|
|
|
|
|
|
AJFCANet, a new computer network that links JFCS with a
|
|
national umbrella agency-- the Association of Jewish Family and
|
|
Children's Agencies.
|
|
AJFCANet is the brainchild of Dr. Marvin Berman, president of
|
|
Network Development Consulting.
|
|
Berman designed AJFCANet in cooperation with Burt Goldberg,
|
|
national executive director of AJFCA. "If someone wants a
|
|
particular piece of information, they will be able to obtain it
|
|
instantly, without searching through material they don't need,"
|
|
Goldberg said. "Our goal was to create a system whereby our
|
|
agencies will have access to the latest data on trends in the
|
|
Jewish family service field, conferences, grants, and statistics."
|
|
The local facility must purchase the telecommunications
|
|
program that permits access to the Connect network and pay a
|
|
monthly service charge of $14. The software program runs about
|
|
$150.
|
|
Locally, Goldman said, AJFCANet also complements the Elder
|
|
Support Service, the Jewish community's natioanl netowrk that
|
|
facilitates the provision of services to the elderly.
|
|
Nationally, the New York-based Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society
|
|
will begin using the system shortly.

* GEnie??I
|
|
|
|
From: Alan Stein <STEIN@UCONNVM.BITNET>
|
|
|
|
There are several dozen Jews active in areas of Jewish interest
|
|
on GEnie.
|
|
|
|
GEnie is divided into roundtables, each of which has bulletin
|
|
boards and libraries. The bulletin boards are included in the
|
|
monthly charge ($4.95), while the libraries are not. There are
|
|
three bulletin boards with active Jewish participation.
|
|
|
|
The Military RT bulletin board has a topic on Israel and
|
|
Palestine which is one of the most active topics on GEnie. It
|
|
also has a topic on the Holocaust, although that isn't as
|
|
active. There is a lot of Israel bashing, with a group of Jews
|
|
stepping in to defend Israel and go on the offensive. (This is
|
|
common to most topics involving anything to do with Jews or
|
|
Israel.)
|
|
|
|
The PF*NPC (Public Forum*Non Profit Connection) RT has a
|
|
category on the Middle East, with several of the topics of
|
|
involving Israel.

* Bibliographies

|

From: fingerhu@ircam.fr (Michel Fingerhut)
|
|
Organization: IRCAM, Paris (France)
|
|
|
|
Bibliographical lists I put together recently and have a common
|
|
thread: the first two are of orthodox scholars whose work
|
|
conciliates tradition, modern science and philosophy: Cassuto,
|
|
with his luminous commentary of the Pentateuch (I *don't* mean
|
|
here what's known as "the Cassuto" but was really written by
|
|
Hartum), together with other writings and interpretations of
|
|
older Canaanite literature, and Y. Leibowitz, on science
|
|
(genetics), society, politics, judaism (Maimonides) and almost
|
|
everything else.
|
|
|
|
The third one, N. Leibowitz (sister of Y. Leibowitz) is a
|
|
wonderful *teacher* and has been doing commentaries of the
|
|
Pentateuch for over 50 years.

|
|
|
HaMaayan is published weekly for the edification and enjoyment of the
|
|
reader who is lacking the time or ability to study the weekly Parasha
|
|
on his own. HaMaayan's goal is to acquaint the reader with the
|
|
broadest spectrum of traditional Torah commentary, from the
|
|
"rationalism" of Rambam (Maimonides) and Abarbanel to the "mysticism"
|
|
of Alshich and the Chassidic Masters.
|
|
|
|
While the editors hope these brief "snippets" will engender further
|
|
discussion of Torah topics ("L'Hagdil Torah U'L'Ha'adirah"), they
|
|
unfortunately lack the time to respond to lengthy questions.

|
|
|
|
Due to the generosity of Rabbi Lazer Danziger, I am now
|
|
building an archive of the L'Chaim issues. I don't have too
|
|
many yet, although R' Danziger has assured me he will forward
|
|
what back issues he can. If anyone has others I'm missing,
|
|
please email me.
|
|
|
|
The archive is on shark.mel.dit.csiro.au, IP address
|
|
144.110.16.11, in pub/lchaim. The files are compressed.
|
|
Login is "anonymous", password is your email address
|
|
(user@host.domain, presumably). I *may* install an
|
|
email<-->ftp gateway in the future, but don't count
|
|
on it.

It's in

and contains Rabbi Yaacov Haber's past and present articles.

Problems, questions, etc., to me.
