Blogging is totally Kitniyot
It seems that every year more and more things get tacked onto the ever growing Kitniyot bandwagon; with that in mind, I think the subject of this blog post might just catch on like wild fire. So if you plan on blogging over Pessach 2008, make sure you are of Sephardic descent.
Having said that, you now know why I refrained from blogging over Pessach.
No, seriously, it had nothing to do with Kitniyot, nor did it have anything to do with what my good friend at hubscubs wrote. In all honesty, I had absolutely no time to blog.
Although, I am proudly blogging now, on what is known in the Diaspora as "the 8th day of Passover" (Biblically known as Isru Hag, aka the day after Pessach).
Anyways, Pessach in the Golan was stunning. This is the prefect time of year to visit and the place was buzzing. As a frequent driver of the Golan's quiet roads, I sensed its asphalt was getting a good rub.
Oh, and yesterday, on the approach road to Qatzrin, a great big grey wolf darted across the road. Must've gotten startled by the tourists, cause I've never seen one of those in broad daylight.

Yes. To our brethren in the diaspora... HAHA we can blog today. :) And don't feel too badly about kitnyot. We all just kinda do it because, you know, everyone else is doing it.
hey shmoogle,
thanks for the HT. i, too, refrained from pesach blogging, as you saw. in the meantime, on the topic of kitniyot, i wanted to shed a little exposure on a blog i discovered recently http://kitniyot.blogspot.com/index.html
wishing you a gut' zummer.
evan: I'll be the 1st to admit it, if/when it's abolished, I will have no qualms about it!
hubscubs: I saw that Machon Shilo was featured in the JPost. For sure there was talk in the media about this here in Israel, but I'm not so sure if Religious Zionist rabbis debated this hot topic. Do you know?
