Selected Sources for Additional Reading on Judaism
Part XII: Periodicals
[Last Change: $Date: 1995/10/19 15:22:26 $ $Revision: 1.2 $]
[Last Post: Fri Jul 14 11:07:24 US/Pacific 2000]
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.
Reproduction of this posting for commercial use is subject to
restriction. See Part 1 (general) for more details.
