  24. This list provides a collection of recommended periodicals that discuss Jewish
  25. issues. These periodicals include publications from all parts of the spectrum
  26. of Jewish practice and belief, so review of sample issues is recommended
  27. before you choose to subscribe. Where possible, the COMMENTS: section will
  28. note outlook; information on the PUBLISHER: and FOCUS: should also help to
  29. provide you with information to decide if the publication is right for you.
  30.  
  31. The format of this list differs slightly from the other portions of the
  32. reading list. Periodicals are divided into four basic groups: 
  33.  
  34.         1) General periodicals that target Jews without a particular movement
  35.            distinction. This group has three subcategories: 
  36.                 a) Topical Publications
  37.                 b) Publications focusing on Tradition and Home
  38.                 c) Publications focusing on Jewish Scholarship
  39.                 d) Other General Publications
  40.  
  41.         2) General periodicals produced by and intended for general members of
  42.            a particular movement.  
  43.  
  44.         3) Rabbinic Journals produced by institutions or rabbinic
  45.            organizations. 
  46.  
  47.         4) Local publications targeted to a specific small geographic area
  48.  
  49. For all of these, where possible, the associated movement will be identified.
  50. At the present time, catalogs are not included in the listing.
  51.  
  52. This list is organized as a digest; it may be successfully undigestified by
  53. programs such as "gnus".
