Great blogs

I have been keeping up with my blog reading over the last few weeks—it's one of the few relaxing items on my schedule—and I wanted to pass along to you some great Jewish blog links.

  • Hirhurim [Musings]: I can't remember where I first heard about this blog, but it has been a great find. The author is Modern Orthodox, and his writings all have to do with halakhic issues and topics. Very enlightening and interesting.
  • Maven Yavin: This is a new blog that was created a month or so ago. A few Modern Orthodox writers (rabbis and others) post about halakhic issues. I should specifically point out the Tekhelet series (I, II, III, IV, V, and VI — with more on its way), which covers the issue well and answers common questions, even about actual observance.
  • The 37th Tzaddik: This is another MO blog, by the author of the Tekhelet series.
  • AbbaGav: This MO Israeli father has a great sense of humor and cutting insights into current issues.
  • Lazer Beams: Rabbi Lazer Brody is a Breslov rabbi in Israel, also known as "Rabbi Rambo" because of his background in the IDF special forces. His teachings are great.
  • Netivat Sofrut: The diary/blog of the only soferet (female scribe) on the planet. Jim Davila linked to this site earlier today.

I have added those sites to my blogroll, and I have added my blogroll to the right collumn of this blog.

Wow, you have a spectacular looking blog. Really well done. Hopefully your schedule will allow for more blogging in the future (after the Israel trip of course).

Thanks for the link and the kind words.

I hope you don't mind, but I nominated The Four Questions for best designed blog in the JIB awards over at Israellycool. (If for some reason you'd rather not be nominated, let me know and I'll try to undo it, but I hope it's not a problem because this really is an amazing design in my opinion).
