The month of June officially brought summer to the streets of Chicago and we here at the Moishe house Chicago have really taken advantage of the warm weather and the happy people. With longer evenings and mild weather on our side we always find it is a little bit easier to gather a crowd. We also make sure to take advantage of the free outdoor events going on in city everyday, such as a St. Vincent concert in Millenium Park we took in early in the month and a number of other festivals that we are planning to attend in July.
Our most successful events always seem to involve food and the outdoors. Be it BBQs or music in the park, summer really allows us to work on these great factors that lead to success. We find that success is not only measured in numbers, but of course the amount of conversation and time that people stay. Our Shabbat dinners are always the most enjoyable because our home is open to the multitudes and we put in a lot of effort to make delicious meals - a good meal will always bring people back.
As we enjoy these warm days, we have also been thinking a lot about our coming departure from the Moishe House world. It has been an incredible experience that we have shared together for the past 2 years, but life continues and new paths are calling and waiting to be discovered by each of us.
We are happy to report though that we have been talking with some members of the Chicago Moishe House community about taking over the House in the fall. Discussing our experiences with these possible future moishe house members has really allowed us to reflect on how much we have grown and learned over these past years. It was also very inspiring to hear their thoughts and hopes for what the next generation of Chicago Moishe House may be in the future. We hope to be as much help to them as possible, and are planning on making the most of the summer we have left.
Take it easy - MH Chicago
