Havel Havelim Not Shoftim, Judges


This week's Torah Portion is Judges, Shoftim and it deals with an orderly society. Havel Havelim is a very different Biblical concept. It's what Kohelet or King Solomon called "norishkiet." Actually, King Solomon aka Shlomo Hamelech, our third king, went against the basic precepts in this Bible Portion. He had too many horses, too many women, and Chazal, our sages say that his writing of Kohelet, Ecclesiastes is his admittance that he had spent too much time on wasteful things, Havel Havelim.

This Havel Havelim is not a waste. It's the long-running weekly international Jewish blog carnival! We keep organized/in touch via our facebook page where you can also volunterr to host. Next week's host is Adventures in AliyahLand. Please send your links with an explanatory "blurb" to  tzivia@aliyahland.com, thanks.

I'm listing the blog posts according to three basic categories, those sent to me by either the blogger or someone else, my posts and any others I've decided to include. As you will see, there's a great variety of bloggers and posts out there for your reading pleasure.
