So now after months of living and learning with this community of young people like me... sometimes obviously and sometimes very subtly connected , sometimes debating heatedly and sometimes just dancing wildly, I feel very at home. Really I don't know how some people get by without having such a feeling of the communal good and healthiness that comes from having so many interesting people in one's life.At very least, it's a fine way to be able to reflect on one's own path so far.
Our events have been great... the shabbat dinners cater to everyone, with kosher dishware for the very observant and happily answered questions for the learning... movies that get people talking and thinking... parties that every time connect people with both new friends and friends they hadn't seen for years...
On top of all this, I'm now attending college again. I'm a little old to start fresh, but luckily my credits transferred... I'll so be like so many of us writing papers and stressing over deadlines again, and I'm very excited. My family is thrilled as well, as I'm sure many of you know how very important your education is to any jewish mother or grandmother... oy
