First, a shout-out to my fellow housemates - Moishe House of the month, booyah! And now, let me join in the chorus of those Moishe members who are touting the benefits of grass roots collaboration. Not only do I agree with Ben about working with other grass roots projects, but we also need to look inward, echoing Brian's sentiments about internal participation.
Get off your patoots and donate, people!
But not just with your dollars, with your hearts and your time. We are providing such an amazing and unique service to our critical demographic. Each of our houses has a great personality and that is what our constituents respond to. We don't program with an agenda, we're not a singles group and we are inclusive to all streams and attitudes. It is crucial that our work continues, especially in this economic climate. It has been said that as the economy takes a turn for the worse, anti-Semitism rises. As if we needed more of a reason to get together for Tu B'Shevat seders, Casino Night parties, pizza making evenings, Shabbat dinners, soup kitchens and the like, now is the time to be reaching out to new members and donors as well as reaching in to strengthen your individual house programming and the bonds among each of our houses.
There is a reason you joined a Moishe House, and why you continue to work on the events and services we provide, month after month. Think about that reason and how you can expand on that, take it further, work harder, push more and soar! Yes, we can!!
