Jewish Blogburst for May 11

Dear Fellow Blog Burst Members,

I apologize for the inconvenient delay in updates. As a high school student, I have been preoccupied with SAT prep, midterms etc...that you all have gone through I presume.
The blogburst date is set for May 11. Some have wrote me saying that a multi-themed blogburst would be somewhat disorganized. Well, since there are so many of you, and some may not be religious, I have decided to have it be 'mutli-themed' becausae in May there are four events going on:

1. Yom HaShoah (May 6)

2. Yom HaZikaron (May 11)

3. Yom Haatzmaut (May 12)

4. Lag B'Omer (May 27)

As you can see, these events range from patriotic (Yom Ha'atzmaut, Israel's Independence Day) to more serious and somber themes such as 'Shoah, HaZikaron, and Lag B'Omer.
This will not be your every-day blogburst where common pictures and stories are shared. Alternatively, every participant will basically write whatever they feel, share stories, personal histories, thoughts etc on their relation to one (or more) of these said events.
All you have to do is draft your post, email it to me, along with the permalink to its published version on your site and I will manage the rest. Since I am not that knowledgebale about HTML, this time there won't be a generated thing...unless if someone wants to help. I will invite other bloggers to group-post on this forum soon. Thanks for your time,
Maia Lazar (www.maialazar.com)
