Haveil Havalim #255

The post-Groundhog Day edition. Lots to choose from, including three of my own. But my favorite is: How many rocket attacks are there in a cease fire? Although the link seems to be broken. Hope it will be fixed soon.

The Jewish/Israeli blog carnival Vanity of Vanities is up. Never better, I say modestly, as it has two entries of my own.

The 233rd Haveil Havalim

Posted on September 8, 2009 | Comments Off on The 233rd Haveil Havalim

I didn’t make it this time. Like I did last June. But the Vanity of Vanities is always worth a read. And, coincidentally, the 233 is the age of the American republic, home of the largest Jewish community in the world outside of Israel.

Via Simply Jews.

Vanities

Posted on June 29, 2009 | Comments Off on Vanities

Mr. Boy went off to four weeks of day camp at the JCC this morning. He rebuffed Mrs. Charm’s offer to help him find his group at the flag raising. Being a rising fourth grader he’s too big for nanny stuff. He was looking forward to a hot game of Ga-ga, an Israeli form of dodge ball. With a forecast high of 102, it definitely will be hot.

Meanwhile, I was honored to have two posts linked in the new Haveil Havalim, a carnival of Jewish blog posts founded way back when by Soccer Dad. It is, appropriately, the Hot and Humid Edition. Haveil Havalim means Vanity of Vanities, a reference to King Solomon’s discovery that materialism for its own sake is a dead end. Or something like that.
