I really can't believe how quickly the time has gone, it seems theres not enough hours in the day. Despite the demands placed on our time, JBloggers are a funny bunch, it seems some of us consider our blogs to be such an essential part of us that if we go on holidays we suffer blog withdrawal.
The good thing about being a JPixer is you can go on that holiday guilt free, knowing you'll be able to bring back lots of photos for JPix! (
Hosting a JPix is always rewarding, theres that sense of oh no theres only 2 days to go and I haven't even started it, but in the end we all manage to get it done some how. By the way regulars might notice this JPix is a day late, well tar and feather Mr Bagel!
If you'd like to have a go at hosting JPix then don't be shy.
Welcome to the thirteenth edition of JPix

I can fully understand the attraction of having fresh home baked Challah as I am fortunate enough to have fresh home baked Challah every Shabbos, thanks to a wonderful

Is that really Challah?

Mr Bagel was in awe at the beauty of this photo, and knowing that

We should all remember the simple things which can bring us the most Joy.
Remembrance
David from
Temunot has posted
Malki's Song a timely remembrance of Malki Roth.
Malki's SongEach of us has a share in the World to Come
And that is already a reason to be happy
We each have a spark and a start
And this is reason enough to be happy
You live, breath, move
That’s a good start
Each of us have a way of arriving
We all have a way back too
We each have a hope and a future
And a place in the World to Come
You live, breath, move
That’s a good start
Each of us have so many reasons
So you better start dancing now
We each already have a reason to laugh
So let’s all shout together-
You live, breath, move
That’s a good start
Please visit David's blog
Temunot to understand the significance.
