		<description><![CDATA[Whoever says that wearing white after Labor Day is a fashion faux paux must not be Jewish. During the fall holiday season, white clothing is actually encouraged at Yom Kippur services because it symbolizes purity. Notice the rabbi’s special white robe. Also acceptable on the holiest day of the year are sneakers and rubber flip-flops! [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While other religions talk about sin and confession, Judaism has its own way of cleansing the soul. It’s called the Days of Awe, a spiritual journey that begins in the Hebrew month of Elul, which directly precedes Rosh Hashanah. 
Rosh Hashana is the Hebrew word for “head of the year” and occurs on the first [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week&#8217;s &#8220;Mishegas of Motherhood&#8221; is special for me because it represents my one-hundredth column. That&#8217;s right, 100 times I wrote a story that had something to do with being a Jewish mom, although I&#8217;ve also been known to digress and talk about food, my marriage, and my dog. Since the parenting humor column was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ever since I joined a new health club, I&#8217;ve lost touch with reality. It all started when I allowed a personal trainer named Chad to pinch my body fat in places that my own husband is not allowed to go near.

 A big selling point to this fitness center is that it&#8217;s opened 24 hours. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t consider myself a procrastinator, unless, of course, the chore has something to do with cleaning out the freezer. When I have a job to do, I get it done. Usually. 
For example, my son asks me to find him a girdle to wear at football practice. Done. Sari requests a kosher salami sandwich [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For many parents, shopping for school supplies is a test of endurance, requiring mental and physical stamina. On the heels of the summer Olympics, I can&#8217;t help but to compare this competitive back-to-school ritual to an athletic race.

Picture this: Teams of children and their moms in running shoes take their marks at the store entrance. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The first thing my kids do when they get home from school or summer camp is head to the kitchen for a snack. Before I have a chance to ask them, &#8220;How was your day?&#8221;, they tear into a granola bar, devour a bowl of cereal, and polish off the leftover chicken parmesan before they [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now that summer is here and school is out doesn&#8217;t mean that the Jewish holidays are on vacation. Think again. One of the most significant events in Jewish history&#8211;the giving of the Torah at Sinai&#8211;occurs seven weeks after Passover (June 9 and 10 this year) and celebrates the cutting of the harvest of wheat and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes moms go to extreme measures to get a little down time for themselves. Aside from  the solicited kindness that occurs on special occasions, such as her birthday, anniversary, or Mother’s Day, women feel like they need a good excuse to be spoiled. In fact, recently I figured out how to indulge in almost [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In honor of upcoming Mother’s Day, I dedicate this week’s column to all moms, especially mine because without her I wouldn’t here. If not for my mom, I wouldn’t be born. Otherwise, my soul might have ended up in the physical body of a dolphin or an eagle or a peasant farmer in Mexico. But [...]]]></description>
