Offer More Than You Ask

As a general guideline: We recommend offering to help 2x more than you ask for it.

• Please respond to asks/offers in direct messages, not on public groups (except reactions)
  • Not Kosher: responding to a request with "DM me!" when you can just DM them.
  • Not Kosher: Responding to their request in the main feed
  • Kosher: Asking a clarifying question that may be valuable for the entire community
• Tip: If you are sharing an ask or an offer, be clear about your ask
  • Not Kosher: Does anyone know someone at Monday.com?
    • The lack of context here makes it very difficult to be helpful
  • Kosher: I'm hoping to connect with someone at Monday.com about a Product Management job I just applied for. Anyone have any leads?

Local vs. Global Posts

• The "Global" group is considered Global and posts in that group should be geographically independent.
  • Kosher: "Should I use AWS to power my AI?"
• Localized posts, or posts that aren't necessarily tech-oriented belong in the local group.
  • Kosher: "Any recommendations for dog walkers in Brooklyn?" as long as it's posted in the NYC group.
• If your City does not have a local group, you can post in Home, but please use discretion.

Religious and Political Debate

Jews in Tech is an incredibly diverse organization - religious, political, age, gender, race, geography, role in the tech ecosystem, experience in the workforce - that is what makes us so special and so valuable to one another. Please keep that in mind when interacting with others. This group brings together Jewish people to discuss tech. For that reason, we stay away from religious and political conversation:*

• Kosher: Sharing tech related news about Israel (ex. Israeli startup IPOs)
• Not Kosher: Getting into a political or religious debate or sharing controversial memes, images, articles, etc.
• The exception to this is our Jewish Activism group, in which political discussion is allowed and for which guidelines are forthcoming.

Jewish Activism Group Guidelines

• Conversation about supporting organized efforts, including fundraising and other types of engagement is encouraged, so long as the request is within a single degree of a member (i.e.- the member posting knows the individual(s) requesting funds personally and can vouch for the legitimacy of the fundraiser)
• Refrain from sharing any information that could compromise the safety of others, particularly our Israeli members.

Defamation and Sabotage

Defamation and sabotage are prohibited in Jews in Tech. Sharing information that defames or sabotages another person within or beyond the membership of Jews in Tech is not allowed, and doing so is cause for immediate removal from the community. Should there be a concern with a member of Jews in Tech, you may bring it up with the Director.

Business or Legal Conflict

Conflict between members or with anyone outside the community is the responsibility of those members and should not be discussed publicly in any Jews in Tech group.
