			<description><![CDATA[My apologies to those I left hanging since my last post. I'm just now climbing out of my post-holiday lethargy and reflecting on my mother's visit.

			<description><![CDATA[With less than two weeks until Rosh Hashanah, I've started what can best be described as cramming for the holiday. In the last 48 hours I have:
