A Belated Bloggers Dozen for Tuesday Evening

I'm a day later than usual with this because last week we drove to Cincinnatti to visit my wife's family...and then we drove back, so I'm still trying to find my blogging rhythm. Keep on reading for news of J for J again making a concerted effort to convert Jews, coverage of the protest at the Syrian embassy to release Gilad Shalit, reaction to Ismail Haniyeh's op-ed in the Washington Post, why its hard to find a Litvak, and why The Muqata has no comment.

Enjoy.
