Haveil Havalim #49 is UP!

Finally it's up. Haveil Havalim #49, the anniversary edition is up at SerAndEZ. Tireless blogger SerAndEz has outdone himself (and just about everyone else) in putting together a comprehensive review of what was of interest in the jBlogosphere this past week and, in some cases, last year.

In all the excitement I discovered that I had failed to forward items from Knocking on the Golden Door. This year he notes with disdain that some Iranian officials are upset with President Ahmadinejad's remarks because it makes Iran look bad not because there's anything wrong with them. This past January blogging at Auterrific he recalled Auschwitz and the toll the Holocaust still takes even on its survivors as part of the January 2005 Blogburst about the Memory of the Wannsee Conference and Liberation of Auschwitz.

I had wanted to my own special commemoration of Haveil Havalim but didn't receive many (OK I received one) responses that I would use. Shiloh Musings wrote how Haveil Havalim makes her feel more a part of a "cyber-family." That's great. I'm not sure that's what I was thinking of when I started Haveil Havalim, but it's certainly been one of the effects of it.

And one more thing before the administrivia: Haveil Havalim is different from most other blogging carnivals that I'm aware of because the hosts do a lot of the work finding the material themselves. So the hosts (especially the last two weeks!) deserve a lot of the credit for keeping Haveil Havalim going and keeping readers interested. So thank you all for participating.

Next week, 25 Dec 2005 - #50 Another newcomer and longtime friend, Daled Amos hosts. His e-mail is daledamos at gmail dot com.

1 Jan 2006 - #51 A repeat performance by Shiloh Musings or is it Me-Ander? Regardless her e-mail is shilohmuse at yahoo dot com.

8 Jan 2006 - #52 After a layoff of only 6 weeks (or so) Israel Perspectives has volunteered to to a return gig. e-mail him your nominations at zevinzion at yahoo dot com.

15 (or 16) Jan 2006 - #53 - New host and another longtime friend, Elie's Expositions has volunteered to host.
