Haveil Havalim #56

I am always so appreciative of all the work put into Haveil Havalim, (the weekly round-up of Jewish and Israeli blogs) by Soccer Dad and others. Hosting this week is my way of saying THANKS!

I have divided my round-up into two major categories - blogs about Judaism and blogs about Israel. However, there are obviously many more nuanced sub-categories within these two groups, and I hope nobody feels misrepresented. I have also highlighted posts from some of my favorite blogs.

Before I begin I just want to say that I for one am glad that the Jewish and Israeli Blog Awards are finally over. Mazal Tov to all of the winners (which will be announced Feb. 9) and kol hakavod to the Jerusalem Post and Israelly Cool for all of their efforts.

Jewish Blogs:

Highlights from my Jewish blogs "daily reads":

1. Lamed compares the question of fallibility and the Avot to biographies about America's forefathers.
2. Out of Step Jew, a great resource on Modern Orthodoxy in Israel, on the influence of Levinas on Israelis.
3. Mayim Rabim announces the creation of Mikolot Mayim Rabim, new message boards.
4. Hirhurim includes two short posts relating to women and Judaism (I, II), and an interesting post about grammatical correctness in the Talmud.
5. Lerner's Jewish Bible Blog on the Gardens of Eden and Sodom.
6. Maven Yavin on questions to think about after viewing Trembling Before God and on one of Rav Soloveitchik's drashot.

Others Jewish blog posts which may be of interest:

A Simple Jew's exchange on the Tanya's view of Discontent. Because I'm in My Twenties... attempt at cartoons, Jack's Shack bonding with his young daughter, The Ignoble Experiment on a Jewish theme in classical music, Jewish Blogmeister on Superbowl and Kashrut, Chayyei Sarah and JDater's Anonymous on dating older men, a post about Orthodox teens and blogging on my blog MO Woman, Chaim Steinmetz on the Jewish view of the mining tragedy, AJHistory commemorates his cousin's second yarzheit, Bava Dilbert on wearing a kippah, Renegade Rebbetzin on her shul "dorks," Mirty on going to shul as a family, and Orthomom considers Kollel track for her kids. Finally, there was lively discussion about the Jewish Religion category over at the JIB awards (including accusations of ballot stuffing) at Godol Hador, Dov Bear and Cross Currents.

Israel Blogs:

Here are some highlights from my Israel blog daily reads:

1. Bloghead on Hamas' pre-election attempts to change its image.
2. On the Face describes a visit from an Iranian friend to Israel (here and here).
3. This moving post by My Obiter Dicta on a hard week in Israel.
