Thank you Moishe House!!

A friend of mine who I was very close with in high school and had fallen out of touch with in the last several years is going to be staying at our house this summer for a month. Thank you Moishe House! If I didn't happen to live in such a sweet house, that happens to have an extra bedroom in it, Im sure the chances of reconnecting with my friend would have been even more dismal than what was previously felt. I feel like I find myself saying this phrase, "thank you Moishe House" more and more as the months living in the house have began to compile over the last couple of years. In the beginning of my time living here I was stoked to be a part of creating a vision of what I wanted my Jewish community to look like, though I took much of the day to day comforts of living in the house for granted. 2007 feels like a long time from where we are all now at in 2009.
The Moishe Foundation has replaced the Forest Foundation. We are all a little older, and hopefully most of us feel a little wiser, even if it feels like life has not gotten any easier. Even with the life changes I and all of my various housemates have felt over the years, it is we ,the house members, who are still so very fortunate to be in the very lucky positions we all currently find ourselves in. Im not really sure how I ended up here sometimes, but now more than ever, I count my blessings and am very thankful to be a member of such a lucky and privileged group of people.
