		<description><![CDATA[As we say farewell to 2009 and become excited about 2010, is it appropriate to say Shana Tovah?  Can I wish a fellow Jew happy new years in Hebrew?  Or is that something that is reserved only for Rosh Hashanah and the Jewish New Year? Is it bad taste to take a Jewish New Year [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=deafjew.wordpress.com&amp;blog=10565502&amp;post=33&amp;subd=deafjew&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been away from home for a few days this week.  Unfortunately, this means I&#8217;m away from my family during Hanukkah. Last week I read a great story to my boys&#8211;&#8221;Hanukkah at Valley Forge&#8221; by Stephen Krensky.  It gave a different angle to the Hanukkah story of the Maccabees.  It&#8217;s a fictionalized book that is [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=deafjew.wordpress.com&amp;blog=10565502&amp;post=25&amp;subd=deafjew&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanksgiving is coming up this week!  I’m excited! While Thanksgiving has traditionally been a secular holiday—I’ve always felt that Thanksgiving is a spiritual—or even religious—holiday.  This perception is further reinforced by my family’s tradition of going around the table and having everyone share what they are thankful for.  I’ve also felt that Thanksgiving is about [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=deafjew.wordpress.com&amp;blog=10565502&amp;post=16&amp;subd=deafjew&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When it comes to being Jewish, why does my being deaf matter? Some so-called brilliant scholars have determined that deaf people cannot practice Judaism and thus observe the various mitzvahs of Judaism.  This viewpoint goes back many centuries and even persists to this day when the Israel Rabbinical Court ruled that deaf people cannot convert [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=deafjew.wordpress.com&amp;blog=10565502&amp;post=8&amp;subd=deafjew&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
