Year End Top Ten List

When does a little under six months equal a year? Why when one has been banished from a mega-popular J-Blog and in order to continue posting, has had to create one's very own little Red-Tent Blog in the middle of July.

L'Havdil eleph Havdolos (a 1000 degrees of separation) the X-tian non-Jews believe that tonight at midnight one year and decade will end and that another will begin. In that spirit top (or bottom) ten lists of the decade have been all the rage.

Having familiarity with little beyond contemplation of my own navel ,(and lacking objectivity even on that subject) I hereby present the list of the 10 best HaMavdil Posts of the year:
1. The Post that Started it All!
2. Lessons from "the Love that Dare not Speak its Name"
3. Inauthenticity
4. A Memo to the Parents: We Need More Truth in Packaging
5. The Genesis of Kosher Evolution
6. In which a Chasidic Master Delineates an Innate Difference Between Jewish and Gentile Sinning(and Repenting)!
7. My Problems with Tefilas Zaqah
8. Recalibrating Havdala Consciousness Part II
9 THE PREQUEL: The Kohen on Romancing Helen(ism)
9. A Leap of Faith... in MAN
9. THE SEQUEL: Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places
10.A Tale of Two Fast Days
10B. Havdala in Language and in Providence
10&3/4. That's it! I'm FINISHED!
10.85. Restructuring the Artscroll Debate
Oh..what the Hay...
11. (New) Home of the Whopper ...Move Over Burger King

As my "recent comments" widget has been dysfunctional ever since I changed to this new template I ask all three of my disloyal commenters to leave any NEW comments for my top ten posts here and indicate which post you're responding to.

PS apparently not only can I not write or think critically, I can't count either. Truth be told I love so many of them. They are ALL my children. Where should I cut? Qedusha-Havdala...Have you had YOURS this year? No??? Well keep on reading and commenting and better luck NEXT year!

I had the same problem but removing it and adding it back did the trick. You may need to do it several times until it works.

Oh, and I left a comment on the unknown blog post.

...my problem is that the recent comments do not update...but that is SoMeThinG that you can remedy. :-)

let's give the big whopper to tzig here. he's a phony and a fraud. he claims he's a sophisticate from hempstead. rumor has it he works for hamodia. so why is he bray's friend who supposedly can't stand charedi publications.

The Bray of Fundie said...

A. I don't know Tzig's true identity and have neither spoken with him nor met him

B. IIRC that's New Hempstead, big geographical and ideological difference

C. How can an anonymous blogger be a " phony and a fraud"? This presumes we know a person but that he is ain tokho k'baro.

D. Why blast him here? He has a much bigger audience than I do so the logical place to blast him is on his blog. By all means blast ME here.

May I mention that the decade ends at the close of 2010, not 2009, due to the fact that the current calendar system lacks a year zero.

I've never left a comment, and rarely I comment on other blogs but I read you everyday, and often more than once a day.

I support you on this and I'll try to leave few words here and there.
