A website (or a blog) is like a car

Friday, March 9th, 2007

You know that you have to take your car in for periodic maintenance every x-thousand miles, right? Well, these days, software is like that – especially in our era of spammers and phishers, and all kinds of “bad” people trying to prey on us poor souls who just want to use the web to find and share information and fun stuff.

In recent days, we have moved our website to a more interactive mode – but many of our members are not receiving their emails notifications, due to the tricks that we have to work around to avoid spam filters. And now, I find that I am a version behind with the software that runs this blog, and our emails aren’t going out on this site either.

That means that, for the time being, no one can register – even though we have decided to make this a more open discussion area. Watch this space – I’ll post a notice when things are up and running.

In the meantime, vote on your favorite shabbat activity on the poll to your right. and if i’ve missed one of your favorite activities (remember, we’re trying to encourage halakhah, so going to the movies, shopping, and eating at a restaurant are NOT listed on purpose – including posting on this blog, for that matter!).

Feel free to respond to this post, with anything you want to share on Shabbat, or the web, or this blog, whatever (within reason)…
Shabbat Shalom,
janaki

Tikvat Israel is Talking!

Thursday, February 2nd, 2006

Welcome to the new Tikvat Israel Blog!

This is the place to share ideas, stories, jokes (in good taste, of course), and to learn what others in the community are thinking. We hope to see lots of active and lively discussions here, and only ask that everyone respects the opinions and feelings of others.

Happy Blogging!
