o  Irene Bleiweiss <IBLEIWEI@fcc.gov>
	  * Irene was raised in a culturally Jewish family in New York City.
	    As an adult she rediscovered Judaism's spirituality through
	    regular study and practice of Torah and meditation from an
	    Orthodox/Chassidic perspective.  She lives near Washington,
	    D.C. where she attends a Conservative Havurah. When not focussed
	    on Jewish studies or her two children Elizabeth (5/4/89) and
	    Andrew (1/20/95), Irene is a communications lawyer and writer.
	    She is happily married to a non-Jew who supports the family's
	    Jewish studies and observances.
	  * Irene joined the moderation team in April 1998.

 o  Rona Michelson <rona@actcom.co.il>
          * Rona currently lives in Modiin, Israel.  Although raised by
	    parents who had a cultural identification as Jews, Rona's
	    commitment comes from early memories of Jewish observances in the
	    homes of her grandparents.  Seeing herself as a link between past
	    and future generations is what motivated many of her life choices.
	    She decided as a result of her Jewish studies at Gratz College and
	    her experiences at Camp Ramah to become an observant Jew.  She has
	    5 children who she and her husband, Rabbi Aaron Michelson, raised
	    while he was serving as a US Army chaplain at several
	    installations in the US and one assignment in Germany.  In an
	    effort to give their children the Jewish education that was not
	    available locally, they added to the Jewish practices in their
	    home, speaking only Hebrew to the children and enriching them with
	    Israeli music and books.  It must have worked, because all 5 of
	    them went one by one to settle in Israel and all of them are
	    living traditional Jewish lives. Rona is a marriage and family
	    therapist and the proud Savta of 9 sabra grandchildren.

o  Jennifer M Paquette <J3fer@hotmail.com>
	  * Jennifer Paquette is a divorced single mommy to Yerachmiel Meir
	    (25 Tishrei, 5754) and Elisheva Chaya (8 Teves, 5755).  She has a
	    B.A. in Philosophy (Computer Science minor), and works for a
	    Jewish seniors' centre.  She sometimes jokes that she's "raising
	    Orthodox children," and in truth, often feels ambivalent about
	    affiliating with any one synagogue, congregation, or movement.
	    She considers herself Torah-observant in the sense that she allows
	    Jewish law, custom, and philosophy to guide the course her life
	    wherever possible.  But as a "ba'alas tshuvah", or "returnee" to
	    religious Judaism, she also tries to learn from anybody willing to
	    teach an old dog new tricks, including the many wise parents in
	    SCJP.  Jennifer also tries to help other Jews become more
	    open-minded to the details of a traditional lifestyle; many carry
	    around counterproductive stereotypes which prevent them from
	    living their lives more Jewishly.  She tries to live her Jewish
	    life with a sense of tradition's great weight, but also with
	    feelings of joy and wonder, and these are the messages that she
	    tries to pass on in her own parenting.
	  * Jennifer joined the moderation team in April 1998.
