Joe in Chicago

Hi Everyone,

Looks like this will by my last post on this fine blog, as MHCHI gets ready to pass on the torch to a new Chicago house starting in September 1st (in our old house!). I'll hide some manischewitz in the ceiling tiles for you, new chicago moishe house.

It's been a pretty great two years. Crazy to think it's been that long. Also by far the best documented two years of my life. Thinking back on who I considered part of my community when we started this thing two years ago helps me realize just how far this thing has gone. Thanks to everyone here in Chicago who has helped make these last two years great.

Once we all move out, we're all actually going to continue to live close to each other and a good amount of our current community. Besides coming to the new house's activities, we also have been planning on continuing to have shabbats at each others' houses, a different house each month. I'm really looking forward to this. This is the type of thing that we probably would not have organically come to if it wasn't for seeing the value of these events these past years. I really hope we can keep that going and keep this community present.

The new house is going to be great, so if anyone comes to Chicago, look them up!

Bye everyone, and thanks for doing what you do.
