iTorah Lishmah, the discussion portion of the weekly iTorah e-mails, is designed to provide a forum in which subscribers can discuss what theyve read in the weekly iTorah e-mail. Please join the discussion to share your feelings, your reactions and your ideas; to ask questions about the topic and to offer answers.
Postings should remain relevant to the iTorah topic of the week. Each week, the discussion will begin anew. With each new issue of iTorah, the previous discussion will close, although the material will be archived for later access.
This forum is a discussion of the ideas and questions presented, not an arena for gossip or catching up on life.
In order to maintain the Jewish value of treating others as having been created btzelem Elohim, iTorah Lishmah postings should remain polite. While you can disagree with a persons ideas, such disagreement should be presented in a respectful manner.
Inappropriate language, suggestions or offers of inappropriate behavior and inappropriate personal comments (i.e. flaming) will not be tolerated on iTorah Lishmah.
All postings to iTorah Lishmah will be read by a member of the URJ staff. The URJ reserves the right to reject and delete postings which do not remain within the guidelines presented here or which are deemed otherwise inappropriate.
