It describes itself as a “daily review of religion and the press” and prides itself on being “polypartisan”. Beliefnet says it’s a “great place to start for the latest–and often obscure–religion news, as well as excellent links to a wide range of religion news resources and other blogs.”

The Velveteen Rabbi: Beliefnet considers this one of the best personal Jewish blogs on the web. It’s written by Rachel Barenblat, who is not actually a rabbi, but a rabbinic student. The blog entries are beautiful musings on prayer, holidays, blessings, and Jewish spirituality. It also offers a variety of posts about other religions and traditions.
