Haveil Havalim #78 YAWP!

Welcome to A Barbaric Yawp. This is where I blog. Hear me roar. YAWP!!!!!!

Now I ask you to join me on a tour of the Jewish/Israel blogosphere.

There is a lot of activity in the JBlogosphere and thanks to the interference of some of the less civil barbarian tribes I have been offline many times this week.

Please note that it is likely and possible that I will update this more than once after it goes live.

Updated 9:15 PST

Israel

The JBlogosphere has a post called Live-Blogging that I am cutting and pasting into this:

As the war around Israel rages… here is a list of many of the Israeli and other J-bloggers who are “live-blogging” the war, in alphabetical order (some are bigger on updates, some on commentary, so be sure to look at a number of them)…

Please e-mail serandez at verizon dot net or any of the other members of this blog with other blogs that are live-blogging. Thank you. We will try to update as we are able.
