This newsgroup is moderated to ensure that discussion topics remain focused on
raising children within the context of Judaism, as stated in the charter, and
that the conversation remain polite and respectful.

The primary reason for moderation is to filter out circumcision flamewars,
antisemitic attacks, missionary activity, and Reform/Conservative/Orthodox
bickering, which have over the years added a great deal of noise to misc.kids
(in the first two cases) and soc.culture.jewish (in all cases).
