When we created our first web site it was little more than a simple beacon on the internet signaling that we are here and we are not alone. Since that time we have striven to make the quality of our interaction more meaningful on every level. It is our goal to be a bridge and a network--particularly to those who are searching for a supportive environment that affirms rather than challenges our identity.

We hope that this site will foster a sense of belonging and eventually feel like a community to those who visit it frequently and contribute to it richness and diversity. Rather than hiding behind the anonymity of the internet, we promote familiarity. You will come to know us through our names, pictures, places of worship, ideas, and our "kesid" loving kindness. To those who are thirty for knowledge, we will provide a steady stream of information on a variety of subjects as well as access to teachers and scholars.
