Haveil Havalim #156

Welcome to this week's edition of Haveil Havalim, the Jewish/Israel Blog Carnival!

As an Israel blogger, I see a lot of value in Haveil Havalim, it allows for those of us with important things to say in regards to what we hold important to be read by the world, or at least a small part of it.

Please take the time to browse my blog as well as the articles listed below. Be sure to read The Israel Situation Featured Posts, which are linked on the right side of the screen at the bottom of the green section. Please read my newest featured post on Israeli Military Restraint. If you like what The Israel Situation has to say, be sure to subscribe to our RSS feed or bookmark the site. You can subscribe using the link on the top right corner.

I often link to other bloggers posts around the internet in order to bring in fresh and meaningful content to my readers and welcome your links as well. I also welcome guest posts if you have something to say relevant to Israel.
