I can host one if you like. I tried participating once, to no avail :)

Beautiful job on the carnival Leora, thanks for including my photos.

In theory I'd be happy to host as well, but the coding scares me. If you can explain it in words a 5 year old could understand I'll take a stab at it after the summer.

Leora says

So you have until August 22 to submit ... with the upcoming folks making offers to host, maybe people will think more often, What can I send to JPIX?

Of course, I am a big proponent of images are worth 1000 words.

Oh no, how did I miss this? Next time for sure! Wonderful images - they're making me think "What makes a picture Jewish?" and I'm coming up with all sorts of interesting answers.

Leora says

If one believes Judaism encompasses every part of our lives, just about anything would pass. Certainly photos of nature are welcome.

A good question to ponder. The founders of this blog carnival purposely left the definitions loose.

Robin from Israel says

Okay, okay, I'll take a stab at it but I'll be firmly clutching that hand you offered LOL.

Put me down for sometime late fall.
