I'm proud to announce that Kesher Talk is the first Blog of the Day.
Kesher Talk is an excellent group blog, dedicated to Jewish themes -- American Jewish life, the Middle East, Jewish communities around the world, anti-Semitism, Jewish traditions and rituals, even lots of Jewish humor. Kesher, by the way, is Hebrew for "connection". The editor-in-chief is the diligent and insightful Judith Weiss. Kesher Talk was started by Howard Fienberg, who departed the blogosphere for gainful employment (so I'm told), but whose spirit continues to inspire us all.
I consider Howard to be my "blogfather" and it's fitting for Kesher Talk to be my first Blog of The Day as it was the first blog to link to me last year, before I even had a real blog.
Keep up the good work, Kesher people, and if any of you find yourselves in Seattle, I'd be honored to buy you a beer or other beverage of your choice.

Posted by Stefan Sharkansky at June 26, 2003 09:14 AMOops, you caught us with our pants down, or rather our server down. So we have no new posts since Monday on the site, although a bunch of them are sitting on the runway in Blogger, ready to rev their engines as soon as they are cleared for take-off.
Howard is trying to get things fixed. Keep checking back, and thanks so much for the kind words. We will continue to endeavor to be worthy of them.

Posted by: James on June 27, 2003 08:03 AMWoo-hoo! Thanks for the endorsement for KT.
And by the way, our network problems are fixed, the Jewish blog is back!
