List of projects that need volunteers
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.
