Subject: How do I obtain copies of the FAQ?

                                  Answer:
   
   There are a number of different ways to obtain copies of the FAQ:
     * WWW. If you are reading this on Usenet, and would like to see an
       online, hyperlinked version, go visit [2]http://www.scjfaq.org/.
       This is the "web" version of the FAQ; the version posted to Usenet
       is generated from the web version. Note that the www.scjfaq.org
       version is a copy of the actual master version; if you want to
       access the master, visit [3]http://master.scjfaq.org/.
     * Email. Scjfaq.org also provides an autoretriever that allows one
       to obtain a copy of the FAQ by return Email. To use the
       autoretriever, you send a retrieval request to
       [4]archives@scjfaq.org with the request in the body of the
       message. A more reliable way to retrieve these files is through
       the [5]FAQ autoretriever
       ([6]http://www.mljewish.org/bin/autoresp.cgi). For the FAQ, the
       request has the form:
       
     send faq partname
       For the reading list, the request has the form:
       
     send rl partname
       "Partname" is replaced by the name of the part, as shown in the
       general index. The following is a short summary of the mapping to

Subject: Jewish Childrearing FAQ Credits

   The Jewish Childrearing portion of the s.c.j. FAQ was developed by the
   [2]soc.culture.jewish.parenting Advisory Board committee, the advisors
   and moderators of the soc.culture.jewish.parenting newsgroup, and past
   contributors to the S.C.J FAQ. Specific contributors include: Shoshana
   L. Boublil, Rabbi Jim Egolf, Robert Kaiser, Hillel Markowitz, Jennifer
   Paquette, and Linda Zell Randall. It is maintained by Daniel Faigin
   <[3]maintainer@scjfaq.org>
   
   [Got Questions?] Comments and corrections are welcome; please send
   them to [4]maintainer@scjfaq.org. Note that the goal is to present a
   balanced view of Judaism; where a response is applicable to a
   particular movement only, this will be noted. Unless otherwise noted
   or implied by the text, all responses reflect the traditional
   viewpoint. However, you should not make any assumption as to accuracy
   and/or authoritativeness of the answers provided herein. In all cases,
   it is always best to consult a competent authority--your local rabbi
   is a good place to start.
   
   A special thank you... Special thanks for her patience and
   understanding go to my wife, Karen, who put up with me hiding at the
   computer for the two months it took to complete the July/August 2000
   remodel of the entire soc.culture.jewish FAQ and Reading Lists. If you
   think the effort was worth it, drop her a note c/o
   [5]maintainer@scjfaq.org.
