The Jewish "community" is made up of sub sects of communities and those who dont want to be included as well. What connects everyone to Judiasm is that they are Jewish, and in that stops the connection -- Jewish bloggers are Jewish and blog. Whether they wish to be part of a community (or sub community) of Jewish bloggers is their perogative. There may or may not be anything that connects for example, the DovBear and Oleh Girl blogs. Plus, I can understand Gil's comment that not all his readership might not appreciate going to other links in the Haveil Havalim weekly roundup.<BR/><BR/>That said, were he to moderate the Haveil Havalim roundup, he could pick out those postings on varied blogs that would be more appropriate.<BR/><BR/>Benji: Yes, this is just the beginning of a wonderful friendship -- waffle fridays coming up soon.<BR/><BR/>YHSR: a fab evening was had by all.<BR/><BR/>Risa: Agreed! In the airport, Trep said I had this "scooby doo" sort of walk...I wonder if that was simply youthful animation, or exhausted shlumpiness?<BR/><BR/>Baila: I hardly ate anyting, but everyone thought the food was great. (my son just added that the roast beef was great..."sof haderechh") <BR/><BR/>Muse: At the next convention, perhaps the food could all be sponsored by the KCC? :-)<BR/><BR/>QuietusLeo: It was a please meetng you as well.<BR/><BR/>Regarding the waffle conspiracy -- now if I had won, THAT would have been a conspiracy.<BR/><BR/>Any I will be posting for Yisrael Medad's benefit (who won the waffle maker), my wife's award winning waffle recipe.<BR/><BR/>I was impressed that the raffle giveaway was the EXACT same model that I have.<BR/><BR/>Coincidence? I think not!<BR/><BR/>Shabbat Shalom everyone...<BR/><BR/>(btw - Galei Tzahal has a whole review of the conference this morning on the radio)Jameel @ The Muqatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15890095633246557332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-32732842464584836332008-08-22T05:24:00.000+03:002008-08-22T05:24:00.000+03:00I thought he was right.I thought he was right.DovBearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13300090924998038181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-27184432352359877872008-08-21T23:29:00.000+03:002008-08-21T23:29:00.000+03:00"And what is your response to Gil's insistence tha..."And what is your response to Gil's insistence that bloggers aren't a community?"<BR/><BR/>He is simply wrong.Jack Steinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16625864271071630940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-15326930091663597312008-08-21T22:55:00.000+03:002008-08-21T22:55:00.000+03:00Srguim on DVD?
