Editor's Note:
Debating absolutely everything is an integral part of Jewish tradition. Where others socialize to agree with one another, Jews meet to argue.
That's why some of the most compelling reads at Chabad.org are the reader comments—which so often erupt into prolonged and fascinating debates. The spectrum of opinions in productive dialogue creates a focal point for the gamut of the Jewish community.
It doesn't happen by magic. To cultivate this sharing of minds,Chabad.org gently moderates, ensuring that offensive language doesn't degrade the quality of dialogue, answering questions and keeping the conversation on track.
To tell you the truth, it's not an easy job, expensive in terms of skilled human resources and perilously prone to errors of judgment. Keeping things moving in a timely fashion requires crazy hours and constant vigilance. But, looking at the results, we believe the effort pays off.
Kudos really belong to you, our readers, for taking the time to participate, for opening your minds and hearts to opinions that may stand in direct opposition to your own, and for your patience and understanding when a comment doesn't go through quite as quickly as you may have liked.
Keep those comments coming! And if any concerns arise, remember there are real, caring people a simple post away by clicking here [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=49FC9AF15749D105948B02D3AB30F224&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ].
