  • JewishBlogging.com As the site says, "Jewishblogging showcases and indexes Jewish blogs as well as offering other related Jewish news and information that is distributed by RSS. Jewishblogging features Jewish blogs covering a wide range of interests from Jewish news and kosher cooking through to Jewish film and Israel." A wide range of outlooks, and approaches some of which may not be appropriate for certain schools, but this is great for the coverage it gives to the Jewish blogging world.
