Haveil Havalim #149 is UP! (with an announcement)

Haveil Havalim #149 is UP! at Life in Israel.

This also is a good bye of sorts. After 3 years and 150 editions (more or less) I plan to transfer administration of Haveil Havalim to Jack's Shack after next week. It's been wonderful. But it's also been demanding. Right now, I don't have the energy to keep up with HH any more. I'm a bit fatigued. I know that a number of you aren't happy with the way I ran Haveil Havalim, most others were happy though. In addition to next week, I do hope to host in the future. And I plan to promote Haveil Havalim every week. (If I inadvertantly left you out, please send me an e-mail.)

For those of you who have had a hand in making Haveil Havalim a success by hosting, promoting, contributing or reading, I'd like to thank you. Haveil Havalim is one of the longest running blog carnivals around, and it wouldn't be so without your contributions. I expect that in Jack's capable hands it will success will be even greater.

Remember, that while the hosts and hostesses of Haveil Havalim do a wonderful job of editing and searching for interesting posts, they can't see everything. If you want a better chance of being included in Haveil Havalim please submit one or two posts for inclusion.

Use Blog Carnival's handy dandy Blog Submission Form to submit your entries and have a great week!

Thanks for participating, reading and keeping Haveil Havalim going!

However is someone decides that he/she wants to host in the future let me know at dhgerstman at hotmail dot com or use the BlogCarnival Contact form.

You've done an excellent job in running haveil havalim.

I have big shoes to fill, but I'll do my best to make it happen. You have done an outstanding job.

David,

Thanks for starting this and for getting us all to contribute. HH is something I look forward to every Sunday.

I'm also thrilled that Jack has agreed to run HH going forward (I was getting worried when I hadn't heard from you that no one was going to take it on). Jack, if you do even half the job David has done (and we all know you'll do much more than that), you'll be dynamite.

Thanks again!

Dear David, what a wonderfully-written tribute to the wonderfully-created Haveil Havalim, and a clever & thoughful tribute to the bloggers. I've looked forward to each and every edition over the years and know that Jack will build upon what you started. Thank you from Susan

I understand that the time has come, but your contribution to jblogging will never be surpassed. There can never be another first jblogger carnival.

I thought I posted a comment already, but it seems to not be here...

so here is a big thank you for your years of dedication in creating and managing HH. HH had a very large part in my blog and many blogs getting to the size they have gotten (even though my blog is still small, it would not have gotten to where it did get without HH)..

Hatzlacha

Thank you for creating this Jewish blog carnival, and thank you even more for having kept it running for these first three years. I very much appreciate the Haveil Havalim links that have brought readers to my blog. Rav todot/many thanks!

Thanks David, for the great idea and hard work. I know through our discussions how much stock you put in to the community, and publicizing other pro-Israel and Jewish blogs.

And good luck to you, Jack. I'm sure you'll do a great job.

"I know that a number of you aren't happy with the way I ran Haveil Havalim"
