              Selected Sources for Additional Reading on Judaism
                            Part XI: Periodicals
         [Last Change: $Date: 1993/06/08 18:01:13 $ $Revision: 2.2 $]
                    [Last Post: Mon May 10  7:23:56 1993]

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: 
                a) Topical Publications
                b) Publications focusing on Tradition and Home
                c) Publications focusing on Jewish Scholarship
                d) 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.

This list is organized as a digest; it may be successfully undigestified by
programs such as "gnus".
