Hello.
I am feeling rather appreciative of the Moishe House project and its supporters. I feel like I have the ability to do some good in the world becuase I have this great platform to stand on. This month I taught Yoga at a local synagogue. I am from Brooklyn and many Jews in Brooklyn are not healthy people, from the physical to the emotional, mental, spiritual. Yoga did not make me into a stringbean, but it helped me to get in touch with my body in a respectful way that is connected with heart, mind, and spirit. I think Jews need a body centered practice that is more focused then shuckling (bowing back and forth ... looks like air-humping) during prayer. So I was glad to share this with some Jews on Sat. morning before we went to pray in a more formal way. I will teach Yoga this month too as an event on the astroturf in Downtown silver spring. I also have been really happy with our Shabbat events. We now pray as a group in our living room with a text that everyone seems to be able to access. Then ppl just explode into friendliness as the blessings are made and the food is eaten. We do not even have much drinknig at our events. As one of my Rabbis in Yeshivah would say, "Good for the Jews."
Peace
