Ilana schuman-Stoler ;moishe house chicago

Hellooooooo Everybody!!!!!

Well I am glad I waited to update my blogosphere. I must say. Being live at Grant Park for Obama's acceptance speech was one thing. Being live at the whole buildup and pre-show was quite the experience. Being a Chicago native myself, I must say I take pride in events such as this where not only the city know's what's up but THE WORLD watches. My mayor, mayor Richard Daley can be an interesting guy but the fact that his buddies organized an event such at this high level profile. The security was really chill and they really made the backdrop of the city so beautiful that the only thing anyone wanted to do was stand in awe of where we were. I really cannot iterate enough how happy I am to live in Chicago at this moment and how happy I am to live in a city that gave birth to the Barack Obama we all know. We have an uphill battle to fight from here but I am confident that after making a decision like this, we are ready to take on what we need to. Including standing up for our civil rights and following through with our promise to reach across to the other side; wherever it may be. Additionally being a part of Moishe House for this experience has really been great. People to talk to through the primaries, House to welcome people for the debates and what came between, I have really truly enjoyed this experience and it has been a privilege to be a part of such a community. I think we are the ones who will now have to step up and move forward into the next generation. This is our time to set the standards and make the rules. So again we go forth to another month and I hope that we can keep this momentum and continue to bring people in to this community. Happy beginning of the holiday season. I hope everyone stays warm.
