• The nature of the Internet Be careful what you write--anyone might read it.
• Borrowing from someone else's nusach I prefer the wording "sheh-asani Yisrael," even though it's nusach Italki and I'm Ashkenazi.
  
• Faux Judaism (guest post by Rejewvenator on DovBear's blog) It can sometimes be a problem that much of ritual is solely symbolic and divorced from real life.
• Conversion invalidations: End of united Jewry or of deception? Brooklyn Wolf and his commenters debate the issue.
• Oo, a neat post about tzitzit! Okay, so I'm posting the link to this Conservadox post a week or so late.
• A "lampshade" hat's lament. What on earth was she thinking when she bought me?
