What Would You Like to See More of in Articles?

Thursday October 22, 2009

On my other blog I sometimes ask readers what they would like to see more of, but I haven't yet posed this question to you, my About.com friends. So, as I go about planning articles for the next couple months I'd love to know what topics you are interested in learning about.

Already on the list is a series of baby-related articles detailing everything from how to plan a bris or baby naming to what a mohel is. I receive baby questions on a near daily basis and as an expectant mother myself I'm eager to share what I know with you on this topic. I also plan to create a series of profiles about figures from Jewish literature and lore - Elijah, Judith, the Bene Elohim and the like. Articles like these are separate from the blog, which mostly features current events in the Jewish community. Examples of past articles include "What Was the Great Revolt?" and "Does the Star of David Have Religious Significance in Judaism?"

Now it's your turn to share your thoughts: what would you like to learn more about? Please post your requests in the comments.

Diseases,genetics, and medical information regarding Jewish ancestry. Jewish Genes?

At a local hospital they have a program on Jewish Gentic disorders. A whole program just for Jewish diseases. I would like more information on this issue, and the latest research.

History of Jewish contribution to American life is a subject that I would appreciate hearing more about. And I second the vote for genealogy related articles as well.

Stephanie, my other blog is a foodblog – not related to Judaism at all! You can find a link to it in my About.com profile. :)

Thank you for all your suggestions everyone! I will do my best to write more articles in these areas.
