    Mail.Jewish is a mailing list which deals principally with

    Torah and other issues of concern/interest within a TRADITIONAL
    Judaic framework.
    The mailing list is compiled by Avi Feldblum at Bell Labs. The
    focus of the list is to provide a forum to discuss general
    jewish topics within a framework that accepts the validity of
    halacha. As there is a fair amount of discussion on halachic
    issues, the list is sometimes refered to as the halachic
    mailing list.

    * AJFCANet

    From: Chaim Dworkin <chaim@ENIAC.SEAS.UPENN.EDU>


    AJFCANet, a new computer network that links JFCS with a
    national umbrella agency-- the Association of Jewish Family and
    Children's Agencies.
    AJFCANet is the brainchild of Dr. Marvin Berman, president of
    Network Development Consulting.
    Berman designed AJFCANet in cooperation with Burt Goldberg,
    national executive director of AJFCA. "If someone wants a
    particular piece of information, they will be able to obtain it
    instantly, without searching through material they don't need,"
    Goldberg said. "Our goal was to create a system whereby our
    agencies will have access to the latest data on trends in the
    Jewish family service field, conferences, grants, and statistics."
    The local facility must purchase the telecommunications
    program that permits access to the Connect network and pay a
    monthly service charge of $14. The software program runs about
    $150.
    Locally, Goldman said, AJFCANet also complements the Elder
    Support Service, the Jewish community's natioanl netowrk that
    facilitates the provision of services to the elderly.
    Nationally, the New York-based Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society
    will begin using the system shortly.

    * GEnie??I

    From: Alan Stein <STEIN@UCONNVM.BITNET>

    There are several dozen Jews active in areas of Jewish interest
    on GEnie.

    GEnie is divided into roundtables, each of which has bulletin
    boards and libraries. The bulletin boards are included in the
    monthly charge ($4.95), while the libraries are not. There are
    three bulletin boards with active Jewish participation.

    The Military RT bulletin board has a topic on Israel and
    Palestine which is one of the most active topics on GEnie. It
    also has a topic on the Holocaust, although that isn't as
    active. There is a lot of Israel bashing, with a group of Jews
    stepping in to defend Israel and go on the offensive. (This is
    common to most topics involving anything to do with Jews or
    Israel.)

    The PF*NPC (Public Forum*Non Profit Connection) RT has a
    category on the Middle East, with several of the topics of
    involving Israel.

    * Bibliographies

    From: fingerhu@ircam.fr (Michel Fingerhut)
    Organization: IRCAM, Paris (France)

    Bibliographical lists I put together recently and have a common
    thread: the first two are of orthodox scholars whose work
    conciliates tradition, modern science and philosophy: Cassuto,
    with his luminous commentary of the Pentateuch (I *don't* mean
    here what's known as "the Cassuto" but was really written by
    Hartum), together with other writings and interpretations of
    older Canaanite literature, and Y. Leibowitz, on science
    (genetics), society, politics, judaism (Maimonides) and almost
    everything else.

    The third one, N. Leibowitz (sister of Y. Leibowitz) is a
    wonderful *teacher* and has been doing commentaries of the
    Pentateuch for over 50 years.

    Version 4.01 is now available; the main changes are a few minor
    corrections (for example, the calculation of the date of Yom
    Ha'Atzmaut and Selichot) and a considerable speed-up for many
    commands.

    Files can be obtained by anonymous ftp from emr.cs.uiuc.edu in
    directory pub/emacs/calendar or by email by sending a message
    to me with the subject line "send-emacs-cal" (no quotes).

    A HARD COPY of a paper describing the calendrical calculations
    (including the intricacies of the Hebrew calendar) can be
    obtained by sending a messag with the subject line
    "send-paper-cal" (no quotes) AND INCLUDING YOUR MAILING ADDRESS
    (SNAIL) IN THE BODY OF THE MESSAGE.

    * Library of Congress Subject Headings in Jewish Studies)kI

    Send a message to:
    Yossi (Joseph) Galron <TS4132@OHSTMVSA.BITNET>

    I am pleased to announce the publication of the second, enlarged
    and updated edition of the Library of Congress Subject Headings in
    Jewish Studies. Those requiring further information should contact
    me at the address

    TS4132@OHSTMVSA.BITNET Tel. 1-(614)231-9546 Fax. 1-(614)231-1862

    Surprisingly, I found myself in the first directory as owner of
    the Library of Congress subject Headings in Jewish Studies.
    This list of Subject headings is a compilation of Subject
    headings used by The Library of Congress and is available (in
    the meantime) only in hard copy (I have it also on my PC as
    WordPerfect files).

    * HaMaayan0=I

    Moderator: Rav Shlomo Katz
    Organization: Grebyn Corporation
    Contact: Alan Broder - ajb@digex.com (uunet!digex.com!ajb)

    Alternately, send your comments care of yehuda@gwuvm.bitnet

    HaMaayan is published weekly for the edification and enjoyment of the
    reader who is lacking the time or ability to study the weekly Parasha
    on his own. HaMaayan's goal is to acquaint the reader with the
    broadest spectrum of traditional Torah commentary, from the
    "rationalism" of Rambam (Maimonides) and Abarbanel to the "mysticism"
    of Alshich and the Chassidic Masters.

    While the editors hope these brief "snippets" will engender further
    discussion of Torah topics ("L'Hagdil Torah U'L'Ha'adirah"), they
    unfortunately lack the time to respond to lengthy questions.


    * L'Chaim archive0DI

    Moderator: Harold A. Miller hal@shark.mel.dit.csiro.au

    Due to the generosity of Rabbi Lazer Danziger, I am now
    building an archive of the L'Chaim issues. I don't have too
    many yet, although R' Danziger has assured me he will forward
    what back issues he can. If anyone has others I'm missing,
    please email me.

    The archive is on shark.mel.dit.csiro.au, IP address
    144.110.16.11, in pub/lchaim. The files are compressed.
    Login is "anonymous", password is your email address
    (user@host.domain, presumably). I *may* install an
    email<-->ftp gateway in the future, but don't count
    on it.

    * Rabbi Yaacov Haber

    Moderator: hal@shark.mel.dit.csiro.au
    I have added a third Jewish archive to shark.mel.dit.csiro.au.
    It's in

    pub/drosha

    and contains Rabbi Yaacov Haber's past and present articles.

    Problems, questions, etc., to me.
