                            Part XII: Periodicals
         [Last Change: $Date: 1995/10/19 15:22:26 $ $Revision: 1.2 $]

   This list provides a collection of recommended periodicals that
   discuss Jewish issues. These periodicals include publications from all
   parts of the spectrum of Jewish practice and belief, so review of
   sample issues is recommended before you choose to subscribe. Where
   possible, the COMMENTS: section will note outlook; information on the
   PUBLISHER: and FOCUS: should also help to provide you with information
   to decide if the publication is right for you.
   
   The format of this list differs slightly from the other portions of
   the reading list. Periodicals are divided into four basic groups:
    1. General periodicals that target Jews without a particular movement
       distinction. This group has three subcategories:
         1. Topical Publications
         2. Publications focusing on Tradition and Home
         3. Publications focusing on Jewish Scholarship
         4. Other General Publications
    2. General periodicals produced by and intended for general members
       of a particular movement.
    3. Rabbinic Journals produced by institutions or rabbinic
       organizations.
    4. Local publications targeted to a specific small geographic area
       
   For all of these, where possible, the associated movement will be
   identified. At the present time, catalogs are not included in the
   listing.

          + COMMENTS:
               o Small paper tries to be scrupulously fair to all parts
                 of the political and religious spectrum; editor
                 militates against "virulent rhetoric," whether of the
                 left or right. Covers local, national, international
                 news and the arts, although space is often limited.
                 Unlike many Jewish newspapers, it welcomes good poetry
                 (not doggerel) and occasional fiction, as well as
                 essays, with a Jewish center.

               o Sh'ma Online is a moderated discussion group sponsored
                 by Sh'ma magazine. It is dedicated to fostering
                 pluralism and an open exchange of ideas among
                 individuals with often divergent beliefs, as well as
                 exploring the frontiers of Judaism for the 21st century.
                 List participants need not be magazine subscribers.
                 While many discussions may be grounded in articles which
                 appear in the magazine, other discussions may be more
                 freewheeling and ultimately serve as grist for future
                 magazine topics.
