Introduction

The S.C.J FAQ and Reading Lists were initially developed to support the readers of the USENET newsgroup soc.culture.jewish by providing answers to some commonly answered questions, as well as a set of reference reading. Since they were developed in 1993, the Internet has seen astounding change and growth. They now serve as a resource to the larger community, providing information about Judaism from all Jewish movements in a non-pejorative fashion.
