		<description><![CDATA[No good deed goes unpunished. How many of us have used that phrase at one time or another? Sometimes it means that we secretly wanted more gratitude than we got in return for our trouble. Sometimes it&#8217;s a preemptive excuse for not going to the trouble in the first place. In general, it is a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not a fan of circumcision, though the bris milah is required for male Jewish children and is considered an essential component of Jewish identity. I do know some modern Jews now have the ceremony of the bris without the actual circumcision. When my sons were born in 1962 and 1963, I didn&#8217;t want to [...]]]></description>

The rabbi, a venerable man whose voice carried throughout the temple, was extremely charismatic. For the first time in my temple-going life, I found myself listening intently to the sermon.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Eight days after birth, a Jewish male infant is circumcised in a ceremony called the bris milah (bris means &#8220;covenant&#8221; in Hebrew). It&#8217;s a party: relatives and friends gather to watch; the baby gets a drop of wine to dull the pain and then sits on his grandfather&#8217;s lap; his grandfather holds him steady.

		<description><![CDATA[It was a cold day in October, and I was walking down a street on New York&#8217;s Lower East Side, toward a small wooden building with a flight of steps at the front. Built in 1820 as a synagogue, it had only recently been reconsecrated and put back into use as a place of worship. [...]]]></description>
