Community Guidelines

By joining this community, you agree to engage from a Jewish theological framework and not promote other religious beliefs or doctrines.

To protect the safety, integrity, and emotional wellbeing of everyone here, the following guidelines apply to all members and conversations.

1. No Missionizing

This is not a space to promote Christianity in any form.

This includes (but is not limited to):

  • Evangelizing or “sharing the gospel”

  • Proof-texting the New Testament

  • Subtle invitations to Christian belief

  • Framing Christianity as the theological “completion,” fulfillment, or correction of Judaism

Participation here assumes one of the following:

  • You are Jewish

  • You are actively deconstructing Christianity

  • You are a Noahide engaging Judaism respectfully

Content outside this scope will be removed.

2. Respect All Lived Experiences

Members arrive here with different histories, emotions, and levels of religious trauma.

You may disagree with ideas or interpretations, but:

  • Attack ideas, not people

  • No shaming, ridicule, or hostility

  • No spiritual superiority

  • No questioning or correcting someone’s Jewish identity

3. Stay On Topic

This community is for discussion related to:

  • Judaism

  • Deconstructing Christianity

  • Hebrew Bible study

  • Counter-missionary education

  • Noahide learning

  • Spiritual clarity and integration

This is not a space for:

  • Political arguments

  • Unrelated religious debates

  • Personal platforms or self-promotion

Off-topic content may be removed.

4. Community Transparency & Profiles

7613 is a relationship-based community built on trust, accountability, and genuine connection.

All members are required to complete their profile upon joining, including a recognizable name and basic introduction. Empty, anonymous, misleading, or incomplete profiles make it difficult to maintain a safe and transparent environment.

Failure to complete your profile may result in restricted participation or removal from the community.

5. Privacy Is Non-Negotiable

Do not screenshot, forward, quote, or repost messages outside the community.

Violations of privacy are grounds for immediate removal.

6. Moderation & Boundaries

If something feels uncomfortable or crosses a boundary, message a host or a moderator directly.

Issues will be addressed privately, respectfully, and promptly.

Failure to follow these guidelines may result in removal from the community without refund.

7. Ask the Rabbi Spaces: Scope & Respect

The Ask the Rabbi chats exist to provide access to specific rabbinical perspectives. Each rabbi speaks from within their own movement, training, and lived Jewish experience.

Because of this:

  • Rabbis may disagree

  • There is no hierarchy of authority in this space

  • No single rabbinical opinion is presented as the final or “correct” Jewish answer

This reflects the Jewish value of machloket l’shem shamayim — disagreement for the sake of heaven.

To keep these spaces respectful and sustainable:

  • Ask questions in good faith

  • Do not argue, debate, or attempt to “corner” a rabbi

  • Do not cross-post rabbinical answers into other chats to provoke discussion

  • Tag a rabbi directly if you want a specific perspective

  • Respect that not all members want religious debate in general community spaces

Separate rabbi-specific chats exist so members can choose conversations intentionally. Failure to respect these boundaries may result in moderation.

The “Ask the Rabbi: Grab Bag” space exists for members to receive insight from a variety of rabbinical voices. Any rabbi may choose to respond to a question, and multiple rabbis are welcome to share perspectives.

This space is intended for members to learn from different viewpoints, not for prolonged rabbi-to-rabbi debate or back-and-forth argument threads.

8. Collections & Spaces

7613 is organized into multiple spaces so members can engage intentionally and safely, based on their interests and where they are in their journey.

Additional topic-specific or rabbi-specific chats may be added, updated, or removed over time.

Please post in the appropriate subgroup and respect the purpose of each space. Posting religious debate, rabbinical discourse, or sensitive material outside its designated group may result in moderation.

Main Feed vs. Chat

The main feed is the best place to share links, resources, teachings, reflections, and longer-form content. Please use relevant hashtags whenever possible so members can easily search and follow topics of interest.

Chat spaces are intended for casual back-and-forth conversation, live discussion, quick questions, and voice messages. Please be mindful of the purpose and flow of each space when posting.

9. Sensitive & Traumatic Content

Many members of this community carry lived experiences of trauma. To help maintain a space that feels emotionally safe and grounded:

  • Avoid sharing graphic or detailed descriptions of traumatic events (including abuse, sexual violence, or other forms of harm) in general spaces

  • If you need to discuss a sensitive topic, use a clear content note at the beginning of your message (example: “Content Note: abuse”)

  • Keep descriptions non-graphic and focused on your experience, growth, or question rather than explicit details

  • Be mindful that others may not be in a place to engage with heavy content at any given time

If you are seeking support around a traumatic experience, please do so in designated spaces (if available) or ask a moderator for guidance on where to share appropriately.

We aim to support one another with care while also respecting the emotional boundaries of the wider community.

10. Partner Organizations & Educational Resources

7613: The Chosen Path may partner with trusted educational organizations, rabbis, and learning platforms to provide members with additional educational resources and opportunities.

Certain spaces, programs, cohorts, or learning tracks within the community may include access to resources administered by a partner organization. By joining those spaces or programs, members acknowledge that information necessary to facilitate participation, including their name and email address, may be shared with the applicable partner organization for educational and administrative purposes.

7613 does not sell member information and only shares information necessary to administer approved educational partnerships and member benefits.

Acknowledgment

By participating in this community, you agree to uphold these standards and respect the purpose of this space.
