Best of the Jewish Blogosphere #166
Clara Bow says: “Any man that doesn't read Haveil Havalim
brings out the savage in me!”
Still from Call Her Savage, 1932.
Okay, it's live, Haveil Havalim #166, The Mommy Blogger Edition.
Founded by Soccer Dad, Haveil Havalim is a carnival of Jewish blogs — a weekly collection of Jewish & Israeli blog highlights, tidbits and points of interest collected from blogs all around the world. It's hosted by different bloggers each week and coordinated by Jack. The term 'Haveil Havalim,' which means "Vanity of Vanities," is from Qoheleth, (Ecclesiastes) which was written by King Solomon. King Solomon built the Holy Temple in Jerusalem and later on got all bogged down in materialism and other 'excesses' and realized that it was nothing but 'hevel,' or in English, 'vanity.'
This is a particularly fine edition, chock full of must read blog entries. Plus, great pictures of Mommy Blogger's children hard at work helping edit this collection.
We'd like to thank Mommy Blogger for including Seraphic Secret's profile of Hollywood's First Western Hero: Broncho Billy, The Jewish Kid Who Couldn't Ride a Horse.

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.
1. No profanity.2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism. That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.
