Subject: [ha-Safran]: Jewish blog sites
Reply-To: aanflick@ajhs.cjh.org

Hello,
Someone has requested that I share the information regarding my
question on where to find Jewish blogs:

"Mine is Jewish Comics -
http://jewishcomics.blogspot.com"

"The best place to look would be the Jewish blog aggregator sites
(I used to run one). Here are the most used ones:

http://english.webster.co.il/ http://www.israelforum.com/blog_home.php
http://www.jblogsphere.net/
http://www.jewishblogging.com/
http://www.jrants.com/

Also see:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J-Blogosphere

You can also talk to some Jewish bloggers."


"This is not complete, nor is it always updated, but jrants.com
includes a list of Jblogs on the right side as you scroll down."


"This is the blog of the Jewish Women's Archive: http://jwablog.jwa.org/
Jewesses With Attitude is a unique space for Jewish women-and those
who love us-to read about and sound-off on a wide variety of topics
relating to our lives: from fiery feminism to food politics; Barbie
to birth control; ritual to rebellion; art to activism; queerness to
queens, and all else that moves us. We love talking about gutsy
Jewish chicks, sharing reactions to how we're being portrayed (the
good, bad, and ugly), keeping abreast of Jewess-related events,
resources, and media coverage, and taking a stand on issues we care about."

My deepest appreciation for those who offered their advice.  Many thanks!

Regards,
Adina Anflick

About a month ago, I asked Hasafran librarians for a list of Jewish
library blogs. Here's what I've received so far:


    Hebrew Union College--Phil Miller
    http://www.huc.edu/libblog/librariantalk.html

    Jewish Theological Seminary--Naomi Steinberger
    http://jtslibrary.wordpress.com/

    University of Haifa--Iris Igra
    http://liblog.haifa.ac.il/

    Sara Spiegel from the Jewish Theological Seminary has also compiled
    an excellent list of Judaica ebooks at
    http://del.icio.us/
       login:
       user name: jtstech
       password: ebook1


Two AJL chapters have blogs:

    http://www.sfajl.blogspot.com/ Sunshine State Safranim is the only
    official AJL chapter blog I have seen

    http://www.sydneytaylorbookaward.blogspot.com - the unofficial blog
    of AJL's Sydney Taylor Book Award

    http://classicjewishchildrensbooks.blogspot.com/ is an inactive blog
    run by Cleveland's AJL chapter



A number of people who write about Jewish books also maintain blogs:

    Steve Bergson on Jewish comics -- http://jewishcomics.blogspot.com

    Heidi Estrin (co-sponsored by AJL) -- http://www.jewishbooks.blogspot.com/

    Heidi also produces The Book of Life podcast, whose blog is located
    at http://www.bookoflifepodcast.com

    Barbara Bietz interviews authors who write Jewish literature for
    children -- http://www.BarbaraBBookBlog.blogspot.com

    Steve Pollak -- http://www.jewishliteraryreview.com/


Hope this list is helpful. Thank you to everyone who contributed.
