Introduction
Welcome to Haveil Havalim Edition #321!
Something seems to be up with Blog Carnival's on-line submission system OR no one is interested in being included in this week's edition (besides The Rebbetzin's Husband) OR everyone is boycotting HH when I host. How's that for paranoid, self-centered grandiosity?Founded by Soccer Dad, Haveil Havalim is a carnival of Jewish blogs -- a weekly collection of Jewish & Israeli blog highlights, tidbits and points of interest collected from blogs all around the world. It's hosted by different bloggers each week and coordinated by Jack. The term 'Haveil Havalim,' which means"Vanity of Vanities," is from Qoheleth, (Ecclesiastes) which was written by King Solomon. King Solomon built the Holy Temple in Jerusalem and later on got all bogged down in materialism and other 'excesses' and realized that it was nothing but 'hevel,' or in English, 'vanity.'
I did not receive any submissions, save for the two from TRH left as a comment on this blog.
What's going on?
Under the circumstances, I did the best that I could, searching for pieces from regular contributors and hosts, as well as from my usual reads.
Regardless of any problems from the Blog Carnival on-line system, WE NEED HOSTS. Please consider hosting an edition. As you can see, this week's edition is very short, and late. Whatever you are able to produce will be welcomed. Many of the previous hosts, myself included, would be happy to give you assistance and support. Thank you for considering the opportunity!
Today (9 Tammuz) was the ninth anniversary of [one of] the French Hill bomb attacks. As a survivor of this attack, I feel a certain obligation to keep the memory of this event alive. This edition is dedicated to the memories of those Jews murdered in the attack:

This story really bothered me when I saw it. Jewish Orthodox Woman Faces Jail Time For Vegetable Garden. Where are the environmental activists? Where are the healthy eating advocates? Why aren't they rallying to her side? If you have more information on this story, please leave a comment.
Frume Sarah thinks back to her love of The Brady Bunch in There's A Story....
Ima On The Bima reports her experiences from camp this year in A Little Bit Artsy and Skipping Away.
To Kiss A Mezuzah tells us about how she Was Trying To Do The Right Thing this week.

Thanks for doing this. I'm guessing I'm the only one who submitted that way because most didn't notice your comment on the HH posted at Frume Sarah last week.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for all the additional work this week. I had the same issue last week. So I know the kind of time and effort you gave to pull this together.
ReplyDeleteI especially appreciate being included, given that I didn't send you a link. We are preparing for The Big Move to the other coast and it has been a bit crazy here at Beit Frummie.
Thanks for linking to me!
ReplyDeleteBlog carnival seems to be failing. Good Havel Havelim #321 worth more than 10 Agoroth.
