Welcome to Haveil Havalim #196, The My Kids wish it were Chanukah edition. If you are unfamiliar this the Jewish/Israeli blogosphere’s weekly blog carnival. It is a roundup of posts from around the Jblogosphere. It doesn’t matter if you are new or old to the Jblogosphere, this is one of the best ways to find out what is going on.
