"Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer."
Psalm 19:14

Name of the Room	Description	Key
*Torah Talk Weekly*	Here we discuss the weekly Torah and Haftorah readings--both those that have recently passed and those that are approaching. We encourage participants to share their own insights, opinions, and observations. However, if you heard a great sermon or read an excellent commentary that might enrich (rather than dominate) the conversation, share it with us.
*The Hang Out*	If you just want to know "what's up?" then this is the room to enter. You can join a conversation in progress or start a new topic. Right now most of us are talking about this site; brainstorming about what we want it to be and offering ideas about how to improve it. Enter, say "shalom" and introduce yourself.
*Youth Lounge*	Very social and very relaxed. If you have to ask how old is too old to enter this area, then you are probably too old-of-heart to be here. This space is mainly for those who want to talk to their Peeps and issue a few shout out to their brothers and sisters on the net.	Coming Soon
*Race Matters*	Black, White, Neither, or Both? Encountering Racism, Anti-Semitism, Either or Neither? If it involves perceptions of identity, then this is where it belongs. "Come, let us reason together" Isaiah 1:18	Coming Soon
Jesus' Place	We mean this figuratively and literately. The question of Jesus as God, messiah, prophet, or rabbi is an important one that we take very seriously. There should be a place where intelligent people can discuss this topic respectfully. If you have questions or opinions about Jesus, then this is the designated place on this site to express them. Hallelujah!	Coming Soon
