October was good. Not as good as November's been so far, but what you gonna do. Last night we stood in Grant Park, waiting for the election results and then hearing the first speech from our president elect... pictures going up soon.
October was a good mix of high holidays and debate watches. The first half of the month was spent trying to reflect on the past year and the second half was anxiously anticipating the next four. We did a shabbat dinner with Righteous Indignation, which was great. For one, there were a lot of new, and interesting people. More than this, this month was so much about spending our time getting out the vote, dialoguing on the issues surrounding the election, and even doing some plain ol' tikkun olam. It was a good month. Now we need to hold Obama's feet to the fire, keep things moving, and stay active. I hope that our house can do it's part to help keep people involved in the types of things we should all be doing, but sometimes need a little push for..
