I’ve been too busy “blog-hopping” to write anything lately. Here are a few posts that you might find of interest.
Naomi Chana has clearly put a lot of thought into her October 24 post on intermarriage, “In Which I Am Intense,” at http://www.baraita.net/blog/. This is a must-read.
Another meshugannah mommy, in her October 19th post, issued an invitation to her more observant friends to respond, on her blog, http://www.mommysgoingmeshugganah.blogspot.com/, to the concerns addressed on my blog in the posts, and comments to, “Men in Halachah” #1 and #2. I’ll be keeping an eye on the comments.
The Out of Step Jew in Kfar Saba is in the process of writing some very distressing posts concerning the conflict among Israelis regarding the proposed unilateral withdrawal from Gaza (the hitnatkut). Follow his discussion of this issue at http://outofstepjew.blogspot.com/.
Psycho Toddler currently finds himself between a rock and a hard place, having to forbid his daughter to sing before a mixed audience even though he, himself, is not entirely comfortable with the strict interpretation of the halachic/Jewish Law prohibition against a woman singing in the presence of a man. Check out his October 21 post, “My Daughter's Voice,” at http://psychotoddler.blogspot.com/.
The Shaigetz, who’s actually a Chassid, has done such a good job of skewering “the elders’ obsession with visual temptation” that his post October 19 post is currently up to 157 comments. I’ve given up trying to read them all. But I recommend that you check out the original post, if not the responses thereto, at http://theshaigetz.blogspot.com/. While there has been much discussion in a local Jewish paper about the deleterious effects of the radical separation of Orthodox men and women on their ability to find spouses, this is the first time I've seen anyone discuss the deleterious effects of this separation on existing marriages.
My personal assignment for tomorrow night is to spend some time at http://houseofhock.blogspot.com/ catching up on guest-blogger dilbert’s posts. They look far too interesting to miss—and I’m too far behind to be able to read them all tonight.

hope it lives up to your expectations. :-).
Naturally, I found your posts on "Halachah, Minhag, and Change" and "Women's Tefilla Groups" particularly interesting, but I also appreciated your discussion of medical issues. And I'm tickled to know that your little boy was still singing "aneinu, aneinu, b'yom koreinu" two weeks after Simchat Torah. :) May you enjoy much nachas from him.
He is a fountain of nachas, like his siblings ......so far..... ... thank God.....luckily.... poo pooo poo(if I believed in that).... bli eyen harah.... tie a red bintel.....What can I say, I am blessed.
I think I am a little too far down on the J-blogosphere radar to engender much discusion on my blog! I'll keep and eye on it, too!
