I think that here are many of us out here who would enjoy talking about
other Jewish topics besides torah, but a newsgroup for such discussion
doesn't exist.  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!
