Latest revision as of 08:19, 26 May 2009

Please add your thoughts of what needs to be done to this list. Discussion should be placed on the Discussion page.

Concept and Approach

  • Eventually I envisioned a system where all dayanim could announce (after approval) whatever projects they were working on and invite comment, discussion and participation.
  • I would like the site to at least have a balance of 50%-50% between halacha and politics (right now it is 90% politics).
  • Rabbi Mantel says that the Sanhedrin and the Talmud are almost synonymous. We should make it so in the website. Need full intro to Oral Law, Talmudic tractates, etc.
  • The Sanhedrin Initiative must be clearly communicated to the general public, however this cannot be done unless the people involved have a well developed, professional proposal. Serious, scholarly attention must be paid to planning the transition of an ancient institution to a modern legislature. In short much homework must be done first, and the F.O.S. websites are a part of that effort.
