Moishe House London - Joel - January

It's been a busy month both personally and for the House. I had two big papers for my Masters to hand in by January 24th, so while amazing gatherings for Rosh Chodesh and Tu Bishvat went on around me I had to duck out once in a while to gather thoughts and pen words. I've been writing about the effect of culturally specific (e.g. Jewish) theatre on community identity. Now I've handed it in I have a bit more time to be with our own blossoming community and to put some of those ideas into practice through my work. The House is going from strength to strength. I'm very pleased that in and among the demands of school work I have been part of our Beit Midrash launch, with different groups of people studying different kinds of texts in the same space, and tonight will be reveling in our second open mic performance night. New projects in the offing. Bring on the spring.
