Not Just Politics
"Jblogging," that's blogging on Jewish topics, is a lot broader and varied than just the politics you see here on the A7 jblogs. You can get an idea by checking out the two active jblog carnivals. Blog carnivals are like "floating" internet magazines in which most of the articles come from blogs. On blog carnivals, you'll find a collection of links to internet articles. The two jblog carnivals are Havel Havelim and the Kosher Cooking Carnival. 
Jack coordinates Havel Havelim, which originally established by Soccer Dad. And I, in my guise as me-ander, maintain The Kosher Cooking Carnival. 
I hope that you'll visit the jblog carnivals, and if you have any links to contribute, you can send them via blog carnival's service for HH and KCC. Enjoy!

Fact and Fiction
"Truth is stranger than fiction; fiction has to make sense."
Rosten, Leo
We live in strange times. Who would ever have dreamt, in one's worst, most terrifying nightmare, that an Israeli Prime Minister would be offering its enemies valuable land and at the same time be investigated for multiple crimes of corruption? None of the big time, small time or blog time political commentators seem to have the insider's dope on what's really behind Olmert's transformation from Betari/Revisionist/Right-wing nationalist to Left-wing/give our land away/corruption-suspect. Which famous fiction/mystery/detective/suspense writer would you assign to the task of finding out who and what is truly behind Ehud Olmert? 
Who's your writer of choice? Grisham? Ludlam? Michael Connelly? or?

Getting Ready For Jerusalem Day
Jerusalem is a lot more than golden lights at the kotel. 
Shabbat Shalom U'Mevorach
  Sorry about the blur, but the bus wouldn't stop for me as I photographed the first of the Jerusalem trains. I hope they're moving us commuters before they need to be replaced.
 When I first came to Jerusalem, almost 40 years ago, vehicles were rare and pedestrians ruled. Now...
Have a Peaceful and Blessed Shabbat
  But, still, the streets of Jerusalem are the best theater.
 Shabbat Shalom U'Mevorach
Have a Peaceful and Blessed Shabbat
