  9. This list provides a collection of recommended periodicals that discuss Jewish
  10. issues. These periodicals include publications from all parts of the spectrum
  11. of Jewish practice and belief, so review of sample issues is recommended
  12. before you choose to subscribe. Where possible, the COMMENTS: section will

  14. provide you with information to decide if the publication is right for you.
  15.  
  16. The format of this list differs slightly from the other portions of the
  17. reading list. Periodicals are divided into four basic groups: 
  18.  
  19.         1) General periodicals that target Jews without a particular movement
  20.            distinction. This group has three subcategories: 
  21.                 a) Topical Publications
  22.                 b) Publications focusing on Tradition and Home
  23.                 c) Publications focusing on Jewish Scholarship
  24.                 d) Other General Publications
  25.  
  26.         2) General periodicals produced by and intended for general members of
  27.            a particular movement.  
  28.  
  29.         3) Rabbinic Journals produced by institutions or rabbinic
  30.            organizations. 
  31.  
  32.         4) Local publications targeted to a specific small geographic area
  33.  
  34. For all of these, where possible, the associated movement will be identified.
  35. At the present time, catalogs are not included in the listing.
  36.  
  37. This list is organized as a digest; it may be successfully undigestified by
  38. programs such as "gnus".
