Davka claims to explore those problems which cast their weight on the hearts and minds of Jewish people. The articles submitted by students, teachers, rabbis and other concerned people may sometimes anger the reader, bring tears or laughter, or simply provide some ideas to think about. It is our hope that the thought provoked by the contents of Davka will give direction to our individual struggles for self realization and provide a forum from which we can examine our collective identity and destiny as Jews.
Disclaimer
Davka, being a vehicle for ideas from various sources and presenting differing points of view, carries no full time ideological passengers. The views printed in Davka are not necessarily shared by the editor and staff. We welcome rebuttals to individual articles and invite the reader to contact us for further references
Each edition of Davka will deal with a different issue of Jewish interest. Starting with “The Ills of American Jewry”, we hope to present new ideas and approaches to Jewish life. Issue number two will present an overview of alternative “Jewish Life Styles” both here and in Israel. Seminars will be organized around the themes of each issue. The participants will be given the opportunity to express their feelings and views in Davka.
