Fabrangen Blog
This blog, a project of Fabrangen Havurah in Washington, DC, was launched in 2010 as part of the journey from the freedom of Passover to the Revelation of Shavuot. (See Omer Blog for details.) It continues through "The Three Weeks," a time of preparing for Tisha B'av, the day commemorating the destruction of the Temple and many other calamities. See Three Weeks Blog for more on this new exploration for Fabrangen Havurah.
