Link Roundup
Abandoning Eden is thrilled to be moving in with her (non-Jewish) boyfriend, but doesn't know when, if, or how to tell her parents, who frankly sound pretty scary. She also has a post about protecting her parents from reality. Congrats and good luck, AE!
The Holy Hyrax has a fascinating post examining various ways that Arachim censored their version of the Venetian Haggaddah, originally printed in 1609. Bare arms and the man in the moon? Censored. Disturbing racial imagery? No problem.
Beyond BT has a typically mirror-world (to us skeptics) post about having the seder without extended family.
DovBear thinks the rabbis are right to be scared of blogs.
XGH is back and required reading, as always. Even DBS is back, albeit with only two posts so far.

Essay Question for the Orthodox
I thought this would be interesting:
Imagine that, through no "fault" of your own, you come to believe that God does not exist and that Orthodox Judaism is not factually correct. Furthermore, you are so convinced of your new belief that you can't imagine ever going back to your previous beliefs.
What do you imagine doing and thinking about over the next few weeks? How does this affect the future you always imagined? How does it change your relationships?
Answers of "that could never happen to me" will be roundly booed. I'm especially interested in answers from Orthodox people with no serious doubts, but this is open to everybody.
