BLOG-EDITORIAL CHANGES

Rabbosai, I would like to direct your attention to a few minor matters, if I may.


NEW BLOG

[See here: http://atthebackofthehillparshas.blogspot.com/]

I have created a separate blog for the notes on the weekly parshas. One of the reasons for doing so is that some of my readers, when cruising into my blog, take one look at the long parshas postings and cruise right on out. Another reason is so that the entire collection of notes on the parshas be easily referenced and all of them viewed sequentially in one place.



NOTES ON PARSHAS VA'ERA

This week's notes on the parsha can be viewed here:

It is still somewhat rough. Eyeshadow and lip-liner will be added over the next twenty hours, and even after.



RELATED MATTERS

Please also note several things:

1. The outline by aliyos of each parsha will be a separate posting, which may or may not appear in time for Shabbes.
2. The transliterated Hebrew text will no longer be in quotes. You know what it is, and I know what it is. Does it help anybody if it is shown in quotes?
3. Each week's parsha notes will be posted as soon as it is readable. I will go back later and pretty it up, and I will probably edit or rewrite some parts. This will happen seemingly at random - I tend to be neurotic when it comes to my texts.
4. Posting times shown on the new blog will sometimes seem to reflect a different reality. Pay it no mind. I will adjust posting times to keep things in sequence.
5. There are at present four other bloggers whose postings relating to the parshas will be mentioned.
They are:
DOVBEAR (http://dovbear.blogspot.com/),
MARGAVRIEL (http://margavriel.blogspot.com/),
MEVASERETZION (http://mevaseretzion.blogspot.com/),
STEG (dos iz nit der šteg) (http://boroparkpyro.blogspot.com/).
It is not that these four are the only ones who post about the weekly parsha, it is that I read their blogs and appreciate their insights, and will gladly and opportunistically make reference to their stuff.


A gitn shabbes, y'all.
