May has come and gone all too soon and this summer I'll be out on the road quite a bit - opening houses this week in Maryland and Philadelphia, attending counseling workshops and events in Deleware, Seattle and back in the good ol' "Yay Area" as well. Then off to Guatemala and Israel only to return to an August full of Jew-camp in Yosemite (7 summers running). Anywho - this month I've asked elementary school friend and general MHSF superstar Jon Steimnitz to help out the house in June. Jon is seen here in full lifeguard form while you may find me in the suit that makes me look fat. Jon is clearly very excited about the opportunity to come in and do Moishe and he's the perfect man for the job.
Before I left and Jon arrived - we were both able to celebrate one of my favorite Moishe gatherings in recent memory - Mustache Shabbat! This was yet another great idea for a gathering from our very own Maia Ipp - and boy was it a doozy!! It was awesome to see everyone in costume but the real highlight was when Bill (left) and Chris (not as left) hopped several fences to get to our campfire singalong in the backyard. They had us in stitches before having to bail and return to the "going away" party they were attending for a friend. About 45 minutes later, as the mustache shabbat gave way for an all out dance party, the ambiguously gay duo (I say this after having seen one of them stick a finger in the other's butt and then smell it) returned to the party with genuine mustaches on their faces. They had actually found a disposable razor at the other party they were at and shaved. Incredible!! If that's not inspiration I don't know what is. Can't wait to return in September!!- Isaac
