The JIB Awards are over and we want to thank Aussie Dave at Israelly Cool and the Jerusalem Post for organizing and hosting them. We didn’t finish in the top 3 in any categories, but the awards certainly accomplished their stated purpose of bringing new readers to the participating blogs.
We would like to congratulate all the winners, with a special shout out to Rabbi Lazer Brody at Lazer Beams, Rabbi Gil Student at Hirhurim and Rabbi Yaakov Menken and his contributors (including a bunch of Baalei Teshuva) at Cross Currents.
Coming off the heels of his strong showing, we have the privilege of having a guest contribution from Rabbi Menken today.
