Moishe House JHB - ADAM DAVID SACK

Howzit folks,

This is the first blog of one Moishe house representative from the city of Johannesburg in South Africa. For those who don’t know me, my name is Sack – that’s what people call me around here, I guess maybe, its because I am Irish. I have been a Moishe house representative for just under 2 months now and seeing as this is my first blog, I guess I will allow you to delve into my world.

So you will travel down the rabbit hole of my life.

I wake up every morning and shout up the stairs to my house-mates Ilan and Doron to throw down the red key, the red key is particularly important to my morning because it allows me to access the shower, without it I would smell like garlic – Ilan loves garlic, but that is a whole other blog entirely.

After bracing the stairs and waiting in the line to shower I eventually fight the cold winds and enjoy my morning shower, it is the highlight of my day, the rest is all downhill.

Breakfast happens next, it is a fight for the toaster and the last ounce of cheese to go with some stale toast, but of course the toaster still is not working properly and my toast is ruined. Ahh there is light at the end of tunnel, I reach in the back of the cupboard and take out the last remains of the muesli, fetch a bowl from the draw and fill it as much as I can with the wholesome goodness that is bran. As the milk mixes in I know this is going to be a good day.

The milk is off.

You see, you can never be sure if you have milk, this is always my problem when I am at the store, because you don’t want to run of milk, it is the worst. You have the bowl set up, spoon next to it, you have the glass of OJ, you have the morning paper, everything is ready to go and you lift the milk up and OHHH NO! Too light. So I always buy too much milk, and then it is a race against time, yeah, that expiration date – that freaky thing… how do they always know.

Anyway, this day I lost. The milk was off and breakfast was over.

Enough banter

But everyday is a good day for Moishe house Johannesburg. People come over, we chill, hang out, talk about the world, run cool events, such as dinners and book clubs and games nights and quiz shows with prizes and screen movies and slowly but surely we watch our popularity grow.

That’s all for me.

Thanking for exploring my Moishe house morning. Next Blog will include lunch, and if you are well behaved, you might get a sneak preview at tea! I love tea with scons it is my favorite food!

Adios Amigos
