1. Kaplan's Korner has the Week 3 update on Jews and Pigskins.

2. Israel Fix is back after a long, very long, break with a tale of two lost wallets..

3. A Yeshivish Harry has an interesting post on someone in kiruv who doesn't know how to explain mitzvos. I would suggest that this person should possibly not be in kiruv. Just because you are frum does not mean you will be a successful kiruv professional. How are you going to get someone else to commit to changing their lifestyle to do mitzvos if you cannot even explain the concepts. Kiruv isn't for everybody, and if this guy grew up like the masses - just doing what we are told, perhaps he needs to look for another profession.

4. Rabbi Enkin details some of the halachos of making a Leisheiv Ba'Sukka..

5. Tzedek-Tzedek with a post from Rav Yosef Blau on the issue of Rabbis dealing with abuse...
