Welcome to JPIX, the Jewish Photo Bloggers Blog Carnival.
Ilana-Davita shows us Sanary-sur-Mer, where German refugees stayed in the 1930’s. In the center is the Saint-Tropez synagogue. On the right Ilana-Davita photographed the Verona Synagogue.
A Mother in Israel shows off her daughter’s painting on the left. Aviva’s sheep wishes you Shabbat Shalom in the center. On the right is an anemone captured by Quietus Leo.
Batya asks you to caption the wedding photo on the left. In the middle she shows us Jerusalem, with the light rail and the string bridge. On the right Batya has beautiful photos of Tel Shiloh.
Devo asks you about the sculpture on the left. Rahel of Elms in the Yard shows us a Byzantine ruin (perhaps). Mazel tov to Mottel and his wife on the birth of a baby boy.
Mrs. S. shows a lovely calendar of children’s drawings on the left. On the right she presents photos from Jerusalem in 1967. On the Chossid’s blog I discovered a beautiful photo of Arak.
Robin shows us Jerusalem, Jaffa, the flower Queen Anne’s Lace and a recent dust storm.
On the left is a cyclist from Salute to Israel Parade photographed by Leora (that’s me). In the center are eggs, eaten at the first meal of shiva. On the right is an ice cream sundae, painted by Leora in honor of Shavuot.
The next JPIX hosted by me will be in December 2010.
Sky Watch Friday is a photo meme with photos of sunrises, sunsets, blue skies, gray skies, pink skies, dark skies, bird-filled skies and any other kind of sky posted by bloggers all over the planet.
Here’s the sky when we got to the fair in North Brunswick – will it rain?
I have always admired the low-lying flower verbena, and this year I have it in my front yard, nestled among white alyssum, orange marigold, pink begonia and yellow rudbeckia.

Busy, crazy week – birthday boom bash for my daughter on Sunday, busy, busy, busy with work, then this morning my daughter wakes up with a fever and a virus! The nerve of her – I hope she gets better soon. She is missing the last two days of school.
Where the Fortress Looms: After discovering the fabled Ruin Rui in Ruins, Patrick finds mutated pins and dead racers everywhere. Bruce is the last rebel left. Or is he?
Elsewhere in the Blogosphere
Ilana-Davita teaches us about the philosophy questions in France. Here are a few: Can a scientific truth be dangerous? Can art exist without rules? Is the role of a historian to judge?
Ima2Seven called this post Health Nuts but of course I think the people who are nuts are the ones eating the junk food. It’s been a big struggle for me to get my family to eat healthier. I told my daughter I wanted to bring apples and carrots for a party (not being totally serious), and she told me the other kids would laugh at her (they seriously would).
I am studying more about shiva, the Jewish mourning period after a close relative dies, and eggs are the traditional dish eaten by the mourner at the beginning of shiva. Eggs represent the cycle of life.
