Purpose: BRScommunity.org is
an announcement list for the Jewish community and shuls in the Boca
Raton and surrounding areas. (Created Sept 1, 2005.)
This is a
moderated and members only list. Before posting, you must first Join and your
membership must be approved. Once you are approved, you will be provided
with further instructions on how to post messages to the
list.
The primary goal of the list
is to be an effective tool in the building and maintenance of our
community. Although the following rules are far from perfect, and we
don't claim perfection in administering the list, the rules below are
our best-intentioned attempt to keep the list running smoothly and to
keep as many people involved with the list as possible. There are
judgment calls involved and we do our best. We are, of course, open to
suggestions and comments. Remember that we're volunteers.

examples of emails that would always be appropriate:
