		<description><![CDATA[I have several partially-written posts that have been building up on my blogging software dashboard for the last few weeks. With the kids having been around all day, every day in the gap time between camp and school, it's been hard to finish much of anything for the site.
But no matter how many times I return to the [...]

		<description><![CDATA[With the fast of Tisha B'Av approaching, I wanted to put out a quick and simple thought to my readers: Take care of those around you - your family and friends, the strangers you meet -- even your enemies.
We're told that the Holy Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed due to senseless hatred. The event that broke the camel's back, that ignited the Romans [...]

Though "mi casa es su casa" is not a Hebrew phrase, it very [...]

Which means that almost everyone at this point has heard the recent news in the ongoing saga of actress Lindsay Lohan who has been sentenced to ninety days in [...]

The very sight of her drinking water made my skin crawl. Well, it wasn’t just the way she drank the water, it was [...]

But they weren’t just the people that planned the party and paid for it. They saw me through all my years of Hebrew school and bat mitzvah lessons. They helped me write my speeches and made me practice them. And although we had [...]

		<description><![CDATA[They call it m'yam l'yam which literally means from "sea to sea;" and when I agreed to do it, I was surely suffering from a bout of temporary insanity. Israel's really narrow, I told myself. How cool would it be to hike across [read: tell people I hiked across] an entire country?!
Despite the fact that I normally don't walk further [...]

Well, folks, I just passed twenty-nine and have officially entered my thirties (gasp!). Big birthdays make me reflect on life [...]

If you have seen it before, it's still a good thing to be reminded of every [...]

I don't know what it is exactly - we've never consulted a doctor for a technical term - but there is something very real and disturbing that happens to my husband's blood sugar when he gets hungry. It makes him faint, dizzy, and downright iRrAtiONal. It runs in his family, and now it runs [...]
