Even though it's still hard to tell here in Chicago, Spring has arrived. It has been a long, arduous winter here and I am relieved that Spring has decided to grace us with her presence.
Spring cleaning is a very important time of year. Purging is a release of the old to make room for the new. Here in the Chicago Moishe House we made a day of it - cleaning our home and getting down to the real nitty grittiness of it all. We signed off on jobs and spent the day cleaning, scrubbing, sweeping, and tearing down all the plastic on our windows. Let the spring breeze settle in and winter dreariness be pushed out the door!
Passover is coming soon. We are all going home to our families to observe the holiday, which also recognizes the importance of spring cleaning. Even though the holiday isn't all about the importance of purging, it does help us remember the value of spring and rebirth (in many ways, as a nation, a season, as well as a community). It will be nice to return to our Moishe House after the holidays with a renewed sense of spirit for this next season of activities.
