Purim and moving on

Purim is always a fun holiday. This past week, one minyan here hosted its annual “Purim Shpiel,” which is short play that is put on during Shabbat dinner- and featured a couple of Moishe House members (hooray!). Moishe House Beijing hosted Purim Karaoke, which was all of us pretending that we could sing. The next day, we baked hamantaschen, using Ali’s mom’s recipe. I think they came out pretty good, judging by how fast they disappeared.

I’m almost definitely going to grad school next year (have already been admitted, just need to get financial aid in order- I forgot how expensive college is!), so I will be leaving Moishe House Beijing sometime in July or August. I’m going to be pursuing a masters in a crossover between engineering and public policy. It’s sad to know that I’ll be leaving in just a few months, but I also know that we can keep on going strong.

Also, I might be back in Beijing next summer for work related to my masters, so I can come and visit everyone :)
