Looking for a Jewish Forum
I know that there are several Jews that frequently post here, so I thought I'd ask if anyone knows of a good Jewish online forum that has a fairly active membership. Most that I can readily find via Google seem to have fairly small inactive communities. I registered with www.VirtualJerusalem.com but they fall into the rather inactive group. Any suggestions?

Re: Looking for a Jewish Forum
i wouldn't mind finding something like that. I can't think of anything and haven't found much either. You think the JCC would have some kind of united dealy. Let me know if you find anything.

Re: Looking for a Jewish Forum
Well, I'm certainly still looking. I've had more than enough of posters at VirtualJerusalem! I got both barrels of "your not Jewish" and "go to a real synagouge" for attending a Reform synagouge and converting under a Reform Rabbi. (For those who don't know, while I have been living Jewishly for about 12 years I have not yet formally converted. Actually, I'm currently in the process of converting, targeting June 2nd, Shavuot, which is the day G-d gave Mose the Torah and the 10 Commandments on Sinai. I figured that's an appropriate day! 
)
Anyway, I'll keep looking about and I post if I find a site more to my likeing.

There's some in every religion.

Good find mtplams! 
While I'm going to do a bit more lurking before registering, they are certainly more active and civil! Thanks!

Too true. Reminds me of the Protestant vs Catholic insanity. Heck, even between different Protestant denominations!

Yeah.
The infighting between different protestant denominations is a bit of a drain.
The others should just agree with mine already.
