This week's hot topic (according to me) is the "two Seas Canal." Over at From the Exile, a blog from Pasdena, CA run by Pasadena Jews and the blog has a disclaimer that it does not represent the opinions of Pasadena Jewish Temple and Center, also known as PJTC, there's a bunch of resources posted on this topic.

From the Exile a blog "written by Pasadena Jews", has a sidebar full of transliteration tools, transliterated siddurs, and liturgical tools under a section
entitled "Daven." This reflects a growing body of free online transliteration resources, ranging from audio siddurs to fully transliterated Hebrew prayers. There are also links to dozens of media sources and related blogs.

Hat tip to From the Exile for this one:
