Chevre,
I begin with Chevre for a reason. It's a word that doesn't translate exactly into English -- the translation loses some nuance -- but it essentially refers to a community, frequently closely knit, that gathers together for some essential task. Over at Street Prophets, a group of us have been discussing for the past week or so the creation of a general Jewish group here at Daily Kos. We were a little hesitant to do it for a variety of reasons, but ultimately decided it was worth the effort.
This is the essential task for which I began with chevre.
Accordingly, we would like to introduce you to the Elders of Zion.
