The Liberal Judaism Forum

 

Welcome to the Liberal Judaism Forum

Login to the forum

In Rabbinic times, when the Talmud was written, the Rabbis would add their different views to those of the original authors.  When you look at the page of the Talmud today, you will find the Hebrew text of the Mishna is featured in the middle of the page. Interspersed between the Hebrew of the Mishna are explanations in Aramaic which are called the Gemara. So the Talmud was the original written Forum, the model of which we follow today in this modern, technological version.

In just the same way, using the Liberal Judaism Forum, individuals from all round our community can ask questions, answer questions from other people and exchange views and information.  There are some open areas of the forum, including an "Ask the Rabbi" section, and some private areas, such as a forum area for our Education community. Just a few examples of what the Forum is being used for are:

  •  asking general questions about Liberal Judaism and browsing previous questions and answers

  • for education, asking questions on curricula issues 

  • asking what worked well on a particular topic 

  • requesting a lesson plan on a certain topic 

  • asking for reference material and sources

  • exchanging ideas on best practice 

  • asking for ideas 

  • posting reference copies of materials that others may be able to use or adapt 

or just swapping thoughts and ideas.
