Jewish-Israeli Blog Round-Up: Shavu'oth/Beha'alotecha 5774 Edition

י״א לחודש השלישי תשע״ד

Founded by Soccer Dad, Haveil Havalim is a carnival of Jewish blogs -- a weekly collection of Jewish and Israeli blog highlights, tidbits and points of interest collected from blogs all around the world. It's hosted by different bloggers each week, jointly coordinated through our Facebook Group.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.' Submissions may be may through our on-line submission form on BlogCarnival.com, which requires you to log-in first.

Tzivia at Adventures In AliyahLand will be hosting next week's edition. You can start submitting your material to her already via e-mail, Jay3fer@gmail.com.  

In the meantime, please enjoy this week's edition!

Daniel Pinner writes on Shavu'ot: A Lesson from the Torah, and on Parshat B'ha'alot'cha.

Avraham Ben-Yehuda presents his Exposition of the Book of Numbers.

52 Frames Celebrates Rosh Chodesh in Shiloh. This post from Batya at Me-Ander includes photos from Jerusalem Day as well. Then for Shavu'ot, she asks Do you Blintze or Barbecue?

Rafi at Life In Israel reports on the Attempt by Israeli Police to Arrest a 10 Year Old Jew on the Temple Mount. On the other hand, Rafi also reports on Only In Israel? Bris Before Arrest. Definitely an interesting report, and you probably will not hear of anything like this from any other place in the world, save for maybe Monsey, Borough Park, or Williamsburg...not sure. Give it a read.

MK Moshe Feiglin dares to ask Gun Control? Or Citizen Control? 
 
Natan Slifkin presents what he believes to be The Biggest Problem Threatening the Jewish People Today.

Double standards, anyone? Daled Amos translated this report for us, which almost slipped by: Uproar Over Painting Of Detroyed Mosque -- Relief When It's A Synagogue In Gush Katif.

Rafi at Life In Israel posts a video of The Fiery Speech by the Novominsker Rebbe at the Aguda Dinner. He "wowed the crowds calling those in open Orthodoxy heretics..." Sounds like my kind of Rebbe!

More information on the Brussels Jewish Museum Terrorist has been dug up by Debbie Schlussel.

Yeranen Ya'akov reports on Rav Kanievsky Telling Members of Knesset a Mashiah Message.

Tomer Devorah writes on American (Eisavian) Influence.

Speaking of America, Yeranen Ya'akov posts Pollard Surpasses Sad Milestones in Prison.

Batya at Shiloh Musings in on the same page. With Americans as Allies, You Don't Need Enemies! And I wonder what The Monster that Bibi Built is.

Rabbi Mendy Lipskier recounts for us why a Chabbad Boy Bravely Walked off the Baseball Field.

I write to my Dear Brothers and Sisters in the Ukraine,...imploring them to get out while they can!

I also wonder if U. S. Ambassador Dan Shapiro is a traitor or just innocently ignorant of his own heritage.

Jewish Israel asks Does the Vatican have a Political Agenda for Israel? Is the Pope Catholic?

Yeranen Ya'akov presents Rav Fish on the Papal Visit.

Finally, I tell you Why I Refused to be Interviewed by Arutz 7/Israel National News.
