For your newsgroups file:
rec.food.cuisine.jewish	All matters concerning Jewish cuisine. (Moderated)

The charter, culled from the vote result announcement:

        Rec.food.cuisine.jewish is for the discussion of various aspects of
Jewish food. These include: sharing of recipes from Jewish ethnic streams
(Sephardic, Ashkenazic, Yemenite, etc.) and communities around the world;
adaptation of classic Jewish recipes to current lifestyle demands, such as
the problems often faced by vegans and vegetarians during Passover;
adaptation of new recipes to the requirements of keeping a kosher kitchen;
Sabbath, holiday and holy day cooking and cuisine; recipes and menus for
life-cycle celebrations (births, Bar/Bat Mitzva, weddings); sourcing
suppliers, delicatessens and restaurants (locations, specialties, reviews
and recipes); Jewish cooking history, traditions, cookbooks and related
reference materials.
        While Jewish food is not implicitly kosher, the entire cuisine has
been influenced by "kashruth" (the Jewish dietary laws of keeping kosher).
Discussions may, thus, also include tips on setting up a kosher kitchen,
kosher-food preparation, recipes, ingredient substitutions in non-kosher
recipes, techniques, existence of rabbinic approval or labeling of specific
food products, keeping kosher when traveling, kosher restaurants, caterers
and hotels. Since levels of "kashruth" observance and authority vary,
interpretation of the religious laws is beyond the scope of this newsgroup.
Such questions should be taken up with one's own religious ("halakhic")
authority.
        Recipes posted to the newsgroup are expected to respect the basic
framework of the Jewish dietary laws: no recipes calling for pork or pork
products, shellfish, catfish or crustaceans, and no recipes mixing meat or
poultry with dairy products. A FAQ providing detailed guidelines will be
posted periodically to the newsgroup and will be maintained at an
accessible site.
        It is expected that sensitivity will be exhibited both by those who
observe the Jewish dietary laws and those who do not, a tolerant approach
which gives offense to no one along the spectrum of observance. It should
also be recognized that contributors to postings and discussions are not
necessarily even Jewish, but are attracted to these topics by either an
enjoyment of Jewish and "kosher-style" food or the similarity of the Jewish
dietary laws to those of their religion. In consideration of all these
points, inflammatory postings about one's degree of observance or the
philosophical merits of "kashruth" are strictly outside this group's
framework.
        While group participants may sometimes anecdotally address points
about the religious dietary laws in reference to a specific recipe (e.g.,
how to adapt a recipe to conform with religious dictates), specialized
discussions of the laws will be referred to soc.culture.jewish.
        Vegetarian recipes which are non-meat versions of traditional Jewish
dishes, or which are a classic element in certain Jewish-food traditions
(such as Yemenite and Sephardic), or which are a particular complement to
the cuisine, in general, may be posted to this group. Other recipes and
issues related to vegetarian or vegan lifestyle should be posted to the
appropriate Usenet groups devoted to these subjects. An exception to this
would be messages which specifically refer to Jewish food or matters which
are pertinent to adapting such lifestyle choices to fall within the
restrictions of Jewish holidays, such as Passover.
        Rec.food.cuisine.jewish is a lightly moderated group. The experience
of the Jewish-Food list has proven that little intervention by a moderator is
required among individuals who are genuinely interested in the defined
focus of this group.
        A minimal amount of moderation is desirable, however, to preclude
posting of messages containing anti-Semitic or other inflammatory diatribes,
vulgarity, commercial advertisements which do not relate to Jewish food in
any way, posts which attempt to coerce anyone to alter their spiritual
practices, get-rich-quick schemes and similar spam, messages
which have been known to perpetuate such urban myths as the Neiman-Marcus
chocolate chip cookie recipe, cross-posts to other groups, and posts from
anonymous addresses.
        The primary moderation tool, therefore, will be a proven program
http://www.algebra.com/~ichudov/usenet/scrm/robomod/robomod.html> which
will let most messages through to the group automatically, while directing
a few to human moderators. If, after review, they are deemed appropriate
for the newsgroup, those posts will be forwarded to the group by the
moderators.
        The moderators will not be responsible for forwarding inappropriate
messages to alternate groups. It will be the responsibility of the
individual poster to resubmit inappropriate messages to group(s) which may
permit such submissions.
        An initial panel of at least three moderators, drawn from among active
members of the Jewish-Food list and moderated newsgroups, will be
responsible for overseeing the correct functioning of the program and the
harmony of the group. Their first act of business will be to create a pool
of alternate moderators consisting of at least two people who will be asked
to serve in the event there is a temporary vacancy on the panel. Additional
or replacement moderators may be added, if necessary, by majority agreement
of the panel of acting moderators. Anyone whom this body wishes to approach
is eligible to serve as a moderator or an alternate.  An exception to this
would be any current or former proponent of rec.food.cuisine.jewish, who
will be barred from assuming the role of moderator or alternate for a
period of one year.
        The auto-moderation program will initially recognize participants as
known posters and propagate their submissions automatically and without delay.
Adherence to the group's charter assures that participants will remain in
the known-poster base. Repeated violation of the group's charter, however,
will be considered grounds for removing an individual from the known-poster
base. All further posts by that individual will be reviewed by a moderator
before being posted to the newsgroup until such time as a majority of the
moderators feels this is no longer necessary.  If the problems continue,
the poster may be blocked from participation in the newsgroup, by unanimous
agreement of the moderators. Flagrantly offensive posts may result in an
individual being barred from the newsgroup immediately, again by unanimous
agreement of the moderators.  An individual thus blocked from participation
may apply for reinstatement as an acceptable poster. Such reinstatement
will require a majority agreement among the moderators.

Adherence to the group's charter assures that participants will remain in

will be considered grounds for removing an individual from the known-poster
base. All further posts by that individual will be reviewed by a moderator
before being posted to the newsgroup until such time as a majority of the
moderators feels this is no longer necessary.  If the problems continue,
the poster may be blocked from participation in the newsgroup, by unanimous
agreement of the moderators. Flagrantly offensive posts may result in an
individual being barred from the newsgroup immediately, again by unanimous
agreement of the moderators.  An individual thus blocked from participation
may apply for reinstatement as an acceptable poster. Such reinstatement
will require a majority agreement among the moderators.

For your newsgroups file:
rec.food.cuisine.jewish	All matters concerning Jewish cuisine. (Moderated)

The charter, culled from the vote result announcement:

        Rec.food.cuisine.jewish is for the discussion of various aspects of
Jewish food. These include: sharing of recipes from Jewish ethnic streams
(Sephardic, Ashkenazic, Yemenite, etc.) and communities around the world;
adaptation of classic Jewish recipes to current lifestyle demands, such as
the problems often faced by vegans and vegetarians during Passover;
adaptation of new recipes to the requirements of keeping a kosher kitchen;
Sabbath, holiday and holy day cooking and cuisine; recipes and menus for
life-cycle celebrations (births, Bar/Bat Mitzva, weddings); sourcing
suppliers, delicatessens and restaurants (locations, specialties, reviews
and recipes); Jewish cooking history, traditions, cookbooks and related
reference materials.
        While Jewish food is not implicitly kosher, the entire cuisine has
been influenced by "kashruth" (the Jewish dietary laws of keeping kosher).
Discussions may, thus, also include tips on setting up a kosher kitchen,
kosher-food preparation, recipes, ingredient substitutions in non-kosher
recipes, techniques, existence of rabbinic approval or labeling of specific
food products, keeping kosher when traveling, kosher restaurants, caterers
and hotels. Since levels of "kashruth" observance and authority vary,
interpretation of the religious laws is beyond the scope of this newsgroup.
Such questions should be taken up with one's own religious ("halakhic")
authority.
        Recipes posted to the newsgroup are expected to respect the basic
framework of the Jewish dietary laws: no recipes calling for pork or pork
products, shellfish, catfish or crustaceans, and no recipes mixing meat or
poultry with dairy products. A FAQ providing detailed guidelines will be
posted periodically to the newsgroup and will be maintained at an
accessible site.
        It is expected that sensitivity will be exhibited both by those who
observe the Jewish dietary laws and those who do not, a tolerant approach
which gives offense to no one along the spectrum of observance. It should
also be recognized that contributors to postings and discussions are not
necessarily even Jewish, but are attracted to these topics by either an
enjoyment of Jewish and "kosher-style" food or the similarity of the Jewish
dietary laws to those of their religion. In consideration of all these
points, inflammatory postings about one's degree of observance or the
philosophical merits of "kashruth" are strictly outside this group's
framework.
        While group participants may sometimes anecdotally address points
about the religious dietary laws in reference to a specific recipe (e.g.,
how to adapt a recipe to conform with religious dictates), specialized
discussions of the laws will be referred to soc.culture.jewish.
        Vegetarian recipes which are non-meat versions of traditional Jewish
dishes, or which are a classic element in certain Jewish-food traditions
(such as Yemenite and Sephardic), or which are a particular complement to
the cuisine, in general, may be posted to this group. Other recipes and
issues related to vegetarian or vegan lifestyle should be posted to the
appropriate Usenet groups devoted to these subjects. An exception to this
would be messages which specifically refer to Jewish food or matters which
are pertinent to adapting such lifestyle choices to fall within the
restrictions of Jewish holidays, such as Passover.
        Rec.food.cuisine.jewish is a lightly moderated group. The experience
of the Jewish-Food list has proven that little intervention by a moderator is
required among individuals who are genuinely interested in the defined
focus of this group.
        A minimal amount of moderation is desirable, however, to preclude
posting of messages containing anti-Semitic or other inflammatory diatribes,
vulgarity, commercial advertisements which do not relate to Jewish food in
any way, posts which attempt to coerce anyone to alter their spiritual
practices, get-rich-quick schemes and similar spam, messages
which have been known to perpetuate such urban myths as the Neiman-Marcus
chocolate chip cookie recipe, cross-posts to other groups, and posts from
anonymous addresses.
        The primary moderation tool, therefore, will be a proven program
http://www.algebra.com/~ichudov/usenet/scrm/robomod/robomod.html> which
will let most messages through to the group automatically, while directing
a few to human moderators. If, after review, they are deemed appropriate
for the newsgroup, those posts will be forwarded to the group by the
moderators.
        The moderators will not be responsible for forwarding inappropriate
messages to alternate groups. It will be the responsibility of the
individual poster to resubmit inappropriate messages to group(s) which may
permit such submissions.
        An initial panel of at least three moderators, drawn from among active
members of the Jewish-Food list and moderated newsgroups, will be
responsible for overseeing the correct functioning of the program and the
harmony of the group. Their first act of business will be to create a pool
of alternate moderators consisting of at least two people who will be asked
to serve in the event there is a temporary vacancy on the panel. Additional
or replacement moderators may be added, if necessary, by majority agreement
of the panel of acting moderators. Anyone whom this body wishes to approach
is eligible to serve as a moderator or an alternate.  An exception to this
would be any current or former proponent of rec.food.cuisine.jewish, who
will be barred from assuming the role of moderator or alternate for a
period of one year.
        The auto-moderation program will initially recognize participants as
known posters and propagate their submissions automatically and without delay.
Adherence to the group's charter assures that participants will remain in
the known-poster base. Repeated violation of the group's charter, however,
will be considered grounds for removing an individual from the known-poster
