This Sunday I’ll be hosting the 244th edition of Haveil Havalim, the Jewish-Israeli blog carnival. You can find this week’s edition over at Ima on the Bimah.
A new blogger wrote me, begging me to include her blog. She even referred me to her friend, a well-known personality in the Jewish blogosphere.

Getting rid of Chametz

Preparing for Pesach
This year Passover begins on Saturday evening, April 19 and continues through Saturday evening, April 26. Those outside of Israel observe an additional day, Sunday, April 27. This year the preparations for the festive Passover meal are more challenging because observant Jews must finish all of the preparations for Passover a day early because of the Sabbath.

Jameel posts a video explaining how some creative women deal with having their commuting husbands on their hands for two weeks out of the month: Baal Lagan. Now I have never understood how a committed Zionist like Jameel could have such a thing about an American food like waffles. But if you’re anxious to get rid of some chametz, check out Waffle Week at the Muqata.
The upcoming Kosher Cooking Carnival, scheduled for Monday, April 7, is coming along nicely. Please use the handy-dandy Blog Carnival Submission Form. I can’t guarantee inclusion of any posts that arrive after early Sunday.
And hat-tip to Jameel for sending me this link: Batia Kahana Dror of the religious feminist organization Kolech has come up with an old-new way of ensuring that the Jerusalem mikveh attendants receive their salaries.
