So I’m running around trying to get things ready for Rosh Hashana that starts tonight. I’ve gotten a lot of the way through today’s puzzle, but there’s a vein of answers I may not have hit, and I may not be able to get all the way there by the time the holiday starts in a little more than two hours.

Appropriately, NOGGIN doesn’t count for today.

I’m 14 points short of the 171 minimum for genius level and have tallied 29 successful words.

I hope I can finish this year off right, but forgive me if I don’t get there.
