Welcome to the 151st edition of Haveil Havalim, the weekly roundup of the Jewish/Israeli blogosphere. This edition is being sponsored by Jameel's Waffle House where you can enjoy the best breakfast in Israel.


In just a moment we'll officially launch the P.S.D. Edition, also known as Post Soccer Dad. We are in need of new hosts. If you are interested please contact me at talktojacknow-at-sbcglobal-dot-.com

There is a good chance that this will be updated and or edited throughout the day so please check back frequently.

And one more request, I would really appreciate it if you could help publicize this by placing a link to it upon your blog. I hope that you enjoy it. And now on with the show.

Shira Salamone said...

Wow, thanks for linking to my "Stepping Out" video post even though I didn't send it in! What a delightful surprise!

(It might be a good idea to list me as Shira Salamone or On the Fringe, in the future, since the J-Blogosphere also has a Shira bat Sarah to whom you linked here.)

Also, thanks for reminding me to keep an eye on the "My Shrapnel" blog, to which Jameel at the Muqata introduced me.

And last but far from least, thanks for convincing me to stop being lazy and slog through the 100-plus comments to DovBear's "Are women the blacks of Judaism" post. There were links in the comments that were well worth following.

Thanks for the mention

Anonymous said...

Thanks from me too, Jack. Like Shira S., I didn't even send my post in (thinking, as I often did when Soccer Dad was running the show, that my little mishegoss would be too low-brow for such illustrious company).

Now that I know the bar has been lowered, I'll try to send more things in.

Great job, Jack. You're in the Valley?

Shira Salamone said...

Jack, thanks for the compliment and the thought, but I haven’t had the best experience with setting up link fests.

Let me try that again:
I haven’t had the best experience with setting up link fests.
