Muqata Reloaded - The Great Carnival of Guest Bloggers

With my son's upcoming Bar Mitzva approaching rapidly, I'm finding myself swamped with preparations. From writing Divrei Torah to finding sleeping arrangements for the multitudes of guests converging on The Muqata from around the globe, to the printing of thank you cards...so many details! Therefore, the wise and kind Mrs. @ The Muqata informed me that in the interest of my good health, I must should cease blogging till after the Bar Miztva.

What's a an addicted devoted blogger to do?

Shamelessly borrowing an idea from DovBear, I have asked a group of the JBlogosphere's best and brightest bloggers if they would guest blog at The Muqata next week.

They are a diverse and eclectic crowd -- differing in age, origin, current location, and political leanings. I can't even say I know them all well. Some I know close to twenty years...and to be truthful, I only found one of them 2 weeks ago.

I'm honored and humbled that they have so enthusiastically agreed to share their humor, wit, wisdom, analysis and erudition on this blog.

I'll be around here and there, maybe even throw in a short post or two, but their talent will run the Muqata through next Friday.

Enjoy!

Jameel
The Muqata.

PS: For those of you who are also among the best and brightest, please don't take offense that I didn't ask you to blog...this time. My next son's bar mitzva will be coming up soon enough, and I'll need more volunteers...

Wherever I am, my blog turns towards Eretz Yisrael

  2. Looking forward ... You wonder what's up with the international media bias, they never seem to portray the goings-on in a muqata as a party!
