First of all I would like to mention the loss of Moishe House friend Mike B., a wonderful guest our house and especially Lee. Mike passed in a tragic accident this month and we all send out our love and thoughts to his family. He will truly be missed.
This month we of course had our fair share of Poker but we also ventured out to a few concerts. One was for our Moishe House member Lindsay Sinay who rocked the Derby with her new band. The other was at teh world famous Hollywood bowl where DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist mixed together on the stage. It was great to get out of our house with a crew of Jews and enjoy the show together. If you have never been to the Bowl you absolutely must attend a concert there. The formula is to bring a picnic basket full of great food, a bottle of wine, and good friends.
Another event was a trip to go see the film "The Devil Came on Horseback" organized by Nate. The film was a documentary about the ongoing genocide taking place in Darfur. Although it has caught news attention recently, I felt hardly informed of what was actually taking place. The film was a real eye opener and very shocking to know that a holocaust was esentially taking place. It reminded me of the Jewish responsibility to defend any group of people who are being slaughtered in a genocidal fashion. We are constantly reminded "Never Again"........"never again" wll we allow anybody to be killed in such a fashion but it seems that the world including Jews have become so slow to respond to their aid. I only wish that the importance of this message spreads faster to the world in hopes of halting the destruction of the people in Darfur and convicting those responsible.
Hope everyone has a great Fourth of July!!!!!!
