Well I've seen all the societies, and I thought well let's have a Jewish Society!

I don't think many would join as I can't see many Jews on this forum but it's worth a try!

Also, I think some people should set up Christian/Muslim/Hindu...etc societies up.

So mods, any chance of making this official please?
