Not so easy, but I good thing to try to do.<br />In my case, I try to include something about jewellery-making, because that is what my blog is supposed to be about. But you have to allow some other things too. I write often about animals and plants for those who don't care about jewellery. Just as the cheeses in your post here have their purpose too.<br />Great post!<br />Best wishes,<br />Anna<br /><br /><a href="http://annasadornments.blogspot.com/2010/05/r-as-in-rudabaga-rabbit-and-roses-abc.html" rel="nofollow">Anna's Rudabagas</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17926688000745346961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014444390969839620.post-66478639800905475442010-05-20T08:52:34.260+03:002010-05-20T08:52:34.260+03:00I like the idea of a festival where you are expect...I like the idea of a festival where you are expected to eat cheese.spacedlawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12462723005560128474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014444390969839620.post-40878794883126963282010-05-20T08:29:31.875+03:002010-05-20T08:29:31.875+03:00What a big selection of cheese.

Far too many people find Judaism to be a mystery. Opening even a few people's minds to what Judaism is all about, I think, is very important. I think that is why people read your blog and discover so much from it.moneythoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08462893426608294171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014444390969839620.post-46264105394529966452010-05-19T17:12:02.343+03:002010-05-19T17:12:02.343+03:00Another interesting and informative post!

Thanks for your kind words at holiday time. :)<br /><br />Riksha, I'm glad Shavuot is special for you, for one sad reason and one happy one. <br /><br />Jan, Sukkot is also an agricultural festival, mainly for the fruit harvest. <br />Yes, I have read that many American Jews don't "do" Shavuot. Here's an article that might explain why:<br />http://www.tabletmag.com/life-and-religion/33796/field-study/Dinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03461925401870320466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014444390969839620.post-7329177769836036502010-05-19T13:15:44.917+03:002010-05-19T13:15:44.917+03:00I always thought sukkot was a harvest festival.

This year, it falls on the same day of the secular calendar as it did in 1961 (May 18th).<br /><br />I loved looking at your pictures, especially the one of the grain harvest in upper Galilee.
