דוקא/DAVKA (the journal)

Claimer

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.
