Global Jewish Networking Handbook
*********************************
Part I - Electronic Conferences of Jewish Interest
The Partial Directory of Jewish Electronic Services I have been editing
since October 1991 is going now through a major revision. This area of
Jewish life expanded much in recent months. From an initial list of
some 30 different services we have now more than 117 conferences
(lists) and many other services as well.
Many Israeli lists are included here so as to provide access to relevant
academic and professional communities. In this sense they also have
wider Jewish interest.
This is the first installment of the planned Handbook. Chapters dealing with
Jewish interest information services (gophers and WWW) and with Jewish
libraries catalogs and databases are being prepared.
The additions, corrections and initiatives of our readers concerning
previous editions allowed the present expansion of this basic guide. Our
readers again invited to send comments, feedback and corrections to:

Electronic Conferences of Jewish Interest
*****************************************
Several dozens electronic conferences of Jewish interest are described
in the following pages.
1. To subscribe to one of these conferences, i.e. to begin receiving
the messages which conference members exchange with each other, do
the following:
Send to the conference subscription address, in general:
listserv@someplace.somewhere
the address of the machine - listserv software - which runs the
distribution list of the participants, a message like the one that
follows:
SUBscribe <Conference Name> <My First Name> <My Last Name>
For example:
For subscribing to Jewishn@bguvm.bgu.ac.il
send to the address Listserv@bguvm.bgu.ac.il the message:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
SUBscribe Jewishnt Berl Shmerl
2. To stop receiving the conference messages send to the same
subscription address (the listserv) a message like:
SIGNOFF <Conference Name>
from the same email address from which you initially
subscribed to the conference.
3. You can send other messages to the Listserv machine:
INDEX <Conference Name>
Will retrieve the index of the archives of the list.
GET <Filename> <Filetype>
Will retrieve a file from the archive. Filename Filetype appear
in the INDEX file you will receive as a result of the previous
command (INDEX).
REVIEW <Conference Name>
Will retrieve the names of all the participants.
4. Only messages you wish all other participants to read should be
sent to the list itself. In the above mentioned example to the
address:
JEWISHNT@bguvm.bgu.ac.il
5. Almost all of these conferences have archiving facilities so past
transactions may be retrieved. These archives provide search and
retrieval functions so you may conduct a search for selected text of
particular interest. In this sense these archive may be regarded as
full-text databases.

Purpose:
IOUDAIOS (Greek for "Jew") is an electronic seminar devoted
to the exploration of first-century Judaism; its special
interest is in the writings of Philo of Alexandria and
Flavius Josephus. The list began as an informal discussion of
two papers by Robert A. Kraft (Pennsylvania) but quickly
blossomed into an international forum, with participants in
North America, Europe, Australia, and the Middle East. The
Philonic and Josephan corpora are extensive enough that they
invite all sorts of analysis -- from literary, historical,
and philosophical perspectives, to name a few. There is also
considerable interest, among participants, in the social
realities that lie behind these texts. Prospective
members are warmly welcomed. (The discussion assumes a
significant background in first-century Judaism and also
the ability to read Greek.)

Jewish-Music exists to spread the word about recordings and
musicians of Jewish interest, and where to find them. We've
got a lot of territory to discuss--from the latest Israeli
synth-pop (Fortis?) to the best of modern Klez (Klezmatics,
for instance). Personally, I really dig Lebedeff. I really
dig Shalom Chanoch and Yehuda Poliker and the Ethnix. And I
really, really dig the Klezmatics. I can live without another
operatic-style recording of Kol Nidre. I'm hoping that this
will be a comfortable place to discuss what sounds good or
bad; who's playing what and when; new recordings that are hot
(or not) and where to get them.

Purpose:
KOL-ISHA IS a moderated discussion list available through the
courtesy of israel.nysernet. We deal with halachic questions
and issues concerning women's roles in traditional Judaism.
Kol-Isha encourages Achdut Yisrael (the unity of Israel) and
we welcome women and men who are members of any group. We
have only two guide-lines:
First, we ask that you respect the role of halacha in the
lives of Orthodox women. For women who are committed to
Orthodox observance the question of whether halacha is valid
is a moot point.
Second, we ask that you contribute to the discussion by
engaging in the asking of new halachic questions. We accept
the divinity of Torah and the timelessness of halacha. We
also believe that times have changed to the point where new
halachic interpretations are inevitable.
