(Moderated) The charter, culled from the vote result announcement: This group is intended to provide a forum for discussing issues specific to rearing children within a Jewish context. Topics for discussion are expected to range from very specific requests for advice and information to broader questions and discussions about Jewish education and practice. In the context of soc.culture.jewish.parenting, the phrase "within a Jewish context" is intended to indicate either an environment in which the child's primary belief system is Judaism (without regard to the belief systems of the child's caretakers), or the Jewish aspects of a multifaith child's environment. Also, for the purposes of this newsgroup a broad definition of Judaism is used, ranging from Humanistic Judaism to more traditional forms, but excluding combined faith systems such as "Messianic Judaism" (sic). The group will be moderated. Submissions in the following areas will not be accepted: o Questions or statements attacking, showing a lack of respect for, or questioning the fundamental Jewish validity of an individual's outlook, affiliation, or practices. o Posts that criticize a parent for *ANY* circumcision decision made for their son. o Medical arguments for or against circumcision. o Questions unrelated to Jewish traditions and practices in the context of raising a child (with one exception: introductions of participants). o Submissions that attack an individual as opposed to an individual's position. The second goal of moderation is to keep the group focused on its topic area. To that end: - Regional announcements and commercial product reviews are permitted on a limited basis. Commercial announcements are not permitted. - Questions regarding general practices of Judaism not pertaining to raising children will be directed to soc.culture.jewish or other appropriate groups. - Extended discussions about halacha (religious law) will be directed to soc.culture.jewish if a discussion no longer deals with parenting-related issues. - Questions pertaining to general parenting practices will be directed to misc.kids or other appropriate groups. - Questions and discussions regarding how to raise children in an intercultural environment are considered appropriate only insofar as they focus on Jewish aspects of the child's upbringing. Discussions concerning combining Judaism with other faiths are inappropriate for soc.culture.jewish.parenting and will be referred to more appropriate groups. - Questions about non-Jewish religious traditions will be directed to the appropriate religion-focused newsgroup (e.g., alt.messianic, soc.religion.christian, and so forth). There are plans to have three FAQs posted in the newsgroup: One that summarizes the charter and moderation policies, one that addresses common questions regarding raising children in a Jewish context, and one that provides a list of books for Jewish children.
