Welcome to the Judaism community on Codidact!
Will you help us build our community of learners? Drop into our study hall, ask questions, help others with answers to their questions, share a d'var torah if you're so inclined, invite your friends, and join us in building this community together. Not an ask-the-rabbi service, just people at all levels learning together.
Judaism.Codidact FAQ
Welcome to Judaism.Codidact! We're glad you're here. The following information is relevant primarily within this community. If you have a question that applies to the entire Codidact family of communities, you may want to look at our Global FAQ or Global TOS.
What is Judaism.Codidact all about?
This site is for everyone who is interested in Judaism, Jewish texts, and Jewish practice, and for experts and beginners alike. Whether your question is about a fine point of grammar raised in a commentary or practical points of kashrut, it is welcome here.
Like Wikipedia, this site makes no guarantee of validity, and does not offer professional (particularly rabbinic) advice. Treat information you find here as if it came from a crowd of your friends.- Questions that appear to be requests for personal practical advice will be either edited to more general wording or closed.
- For more on why it's important to take personal questions of Jewish practice to your Rabbi, see here.
Who are the moderators?
Your moderators are Isaac Moses and DonielF, assisted by the Codidact admins (Monica Cellio, luap42, and ArtOfCode). Ultimately the community will choose its own moderators.
