Scandinavian group for Sephardic / Ashkenazi Jewish religion and culture.
Jewish traditions and life of Scandinavia (Norway/Sweden/Denmark/Finland) and Northern Europe - especially Lithuanian (Litvak) and Hamburg Ashkenazi and Spanish/Portuguese Sephardi traditions, but also with the more-than-occasional discussion about other groups at the fringe. Members may be Jewish (traditional-egalitarian, traditional, egalitarian, liberal, Conservative, Orthodox, Reconstructionist, Reform, Renewal, etc.) or non-Jewish, and dialogue is welcome. However, missionary attempts or hateful language will not be tolerated. This is not a forum for discussion of Middle East politics. You may post in Scandinavian languages or English. Chatboard, members' links.
