As 2007 draws to a close, Aish.com looks back at some of the most popular articles of the year, as selected by our editors. It's a chance to re-visit some of your favorite topics and authors, and to reflect back on the events and trends of the past 12 months.

The list shows the wide range of issues our readers are passionate about. You were inspired by dramatic personal stories of Jews from Honduras and Baghdad. Rabbi Benjamin Blech provoked with his viewpoints on current events and cultural milestones, and you made sure your own opinions were heard. Sara Rigler and Yaakov Salomon helped guide our response to some of the most critical issues today. We felt the pain of older singles and shared their joy as well. (Mazel tov! The author of "Season of Isolation" is now engaged. Article forthcoming...)

How did we select our "top 10" list? We based it on which original articles were the most widely read, and which articles received the most comments - plus a dose of judgment by the editors. We included only text articles, not videos or blogs.

We hope you enjoy revisiting some of these gems, and catch up on your reading in case you missed any.
