The life of a rabbi in Yehupitz

Jewish Blog Awards

I never paid much attention to these awards, but this time I have some definite recommendations:

There is no question in my mind that the Best Overall and Best Religion Blog awards should go to Hirhurim and not Cross Currents. Hirhurim has consistently been a positive and interesting place for Jewish topics just about every day. Cross Currents is an effort to create a positive development in the Jewish Blog world. But unfortunately it has not met expectations. I like Yaakov Menken and admire the great work he has done for the Jewish internet. But I think that Cross Currents has a long way to go before it deserves an award more than Hirhurim. Some tips: Push Rabbi Adlerstein to blog more, and get one or two more contributors who think in a similar way, i.e. who are intellectually honest, frum and that I don't get the feeling reading them that they were briefed by Central HQ before posting (the feeling I get when I read JR's pieces.) If you wish, I will help you out a bit.

I am still one of Seraphic Secret's biggest fans and endorse it for best personal Blog.
