Happy new year to one and all, big and small! I know one thing I'm thankful for - Moishe House!
So, I just came back from a two week trip to Ecuador with my parents. The Galapagos are a lovely place - I hope you all get a chance to visit, so that you too can become obsessed with sea lions - they're SOOO adorable! Also, new year's eve in Ecuador is like none other - a huge street fair with bands and food and cross dressing men! People also burn huge dolls to represent leaving behind the old year - craziness!!
But enough about me. December was an event-ful(l) month at MH Silver Spring. There were movies galore [Rocky Horror, Breakfast Club, and Milk (x2)], which made studying for finals oh so difficult. Thankfully I get to apply for jobs before my grades come out! Our house also became home base for knitting blankets for the homeless, an initiative of two of our community members. While my own contribution was quite limited (I managed approximately one row of stitches - I knew I should've taken Home-Ec in high school instead of Shop), it was really wonderful to see old and new MH members come together and get excited about helping the homeless during the holiday season. Plans are in the work to continue and expand our efforts, so stop by if you're in the area...
B'vracha,
Aaron
