"Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity." Kohelet 1 (Ecclesiates)
I have the honor again to host Haveil Havalim - a carnival of Jewish and Israeli blogs.The Haveil Havalim blog carnival was founded by Soccer Dad and every week a different blogger takes a turn to host a weekly collection of blog posts.
The name "Haveil Havalim" means "Vanity of the Vanities" and is taken from the book Ecclesiates in the Tanach (the Jewish Bible). If you blog about Israel or Jewish-related subjects, please feel free to join the Haveil Havalim Facebook group or go and have a look at the Haveil Havalim website.

Marina, thanks for including my posts in your Havel Havelim.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words Batya - I always enjoy reading your submissions to the Haveil Havalim carnival.
DeleteHi, Marina, Great job!
ReplyDeleteBTW, according to the Jewish perspective, there is only one "testament." The so-called "new" is non-existent.
If you are interested in a way to define "Tanakh," you could always say Jewish Bible, or Jewish Written Bible, since much in Judaism was originally transmitted orally.
