		<title>Putting on my Left-Handed Tefillin Again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Seems we&#8217;ve been hearing a lot about tefillin lately: The plane diverted because they were a suspicious object. The World Wide Wrap and related events going on at synagogues.

I recently participated in a mind-body medicine program at a major hospital. It&#8217;s given me new appreciation of the ritual, as tefillin connect prayer (mind, spirit) to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Does the Pope&#8217;s Message about New Media mean anything for those of us who follow different religions?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Pope Benedict wrote yesterday:
Priests can rightly be expected to be present in the world of digital communications as faithful witnesses to the Gospel, exercising their proper role as leaders of communities which increasingly express themselves with the different &#8216;voices&#8217; provided by the digital marketplace&#8230;.
No door can or should be closed to those who&#8230; are committed [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pancakes on Saturday Morning</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my family, we have a ritual on Saturday morning. Max and I are usually the first ones up, so I take him downstairs and let the girls sleep. And by the time they are up, I&#8217;m doing actual cooking for breakfast, which we don&#8217;t do any other day of the week. At one point, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Two Weeks on a Vegan Diet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At the urging of a health care provider, and armed with a new copy of Veganomicon: The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook, I tried an essentially vegan diet for two weeks. This means no mean, poultry, fish, eggs, or dairy. It also means no cream in my coffee, and rules out most commercial baked goods, which usually [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thoughts on the Jewish Future after a Lecture by Adin Steinsaltz</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For a class in college, I was required to buy a volume of Adin Steinsaltz’s translation of the Talmud from Aramaic into Hebrew. We mostly worked off photocopies of an English translation in class, though, and as a testament to my ignorance, 13 years later, I still have just that one of the 63 tractates [...]]]></description>

		<title>New York Times Magazine on Dr. Brent James and Health Care Innovation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For those of you who know about the Innovation project I did at work last year, this is a lot of what we researched. These are the ideas that will actually reduce costs (hopefully after we&#8217;ve achieved coverage reform nationally, as we already have in Massachusetts). While they only briefly mention computers in the article, [...]]]></description>

		<title>EFF&#8217;s Takedown Hall Of Shame, Protecting Free Speech</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It seems like you can find everything on the Internet. Which is why it&#8217;s so important to point out when things that matter aren&#8217;t on the Internet.
Bogus copyright and trademark complaints have threatened all kinds of creative expression on the Internet. EFF&apos;s Hall Of Shame collects the worst of the worst.

		<title>Slate Discusses the Economics of Apple Picking</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Especially now that I am allergic to apples it feels very much like going to a low-budget amusement park. The horticulture is better at Disney World or Storyland anyway:
Apple picking is a cherished rite of fall, a wholesome and fun family outing, a throwback to a simpler time when people weren&apos;t so disconnected from the [...]]]></description>

		<title>You are not required to finish the work&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I received the following e-mail about a program from CJP. Working out in the suburbs, it&#8217;s not something I can attend, but I&#8217;d like to, as it&#8217;s on my favorite bit of wisdom:
The Genesis Forum, a free noontime adult learning program, features Rabbi Seth Farber at our next session on October 28. Rabbi Farber is [...]]]></description>

		<title>If you want to know a guy, get to know his mother</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Fortunately that won&#8217;t be too hard now that my mother has started a blog. If you know me well, you probably already know about her peanut allergy or accomplishments as a working mother. But now you can read them for yourself:
I am not by nature, a perpetually cheerful person. I kvetch, I complain, I argue, [...]]]></description>
