So, hi. Buzy month. I'm caught up in my homework for school. I'm set up to go to the Nihirim West Retreate Next month. We've got fliers made and tabled at tha Seattle Jewish Arts Festival last night.
Sabbath is almost started.

Home Alone
I began February alone, with my three roomies off backpacking in Argentina. Moishe House wasn't the same without them.
Not only was I bored with loneliness, I also struggled trying to get the same large turnouts at our events that we previously were accustomed to. Soon as Elkana got back--BAM!--26 people at our Shabbat dinner. He really spent some good time on the phone making that happen. Lior and Yonatan just got back today. It's nice to have a full house again.
I wasn't alone the whole time though. A few Israeli backpackers stopped by for a night here and there, and I even hosted one of our brethren from India who was in Uruguay for a conference in Colonia. It was cool to hear about the Jewish community in Bombay, which apparently has been going strong for quite some time now.
Another cool moment this month was our Moishe event at the opening parade of Carnaval. I don't think I've ever seen a longer parade. Tons of guys dancing around in old man costumes, colorful flags, half-naked girls in feather masks, people lining the streets, and NOISE! Great drum rhythms! And you could even join in on the parade if you wanted!
All in all it was a pretty good month, but I like having the boys back in town. As always, looking forward to another fun month of Moisheness,
Jay

Summer in Uruguay.. Where is everybody??
b"h
Hola a todos!!
Well, I'm writing this blog from a computer in Ushuaia, the most southern city in the world.. (or in south America? never mind..) what am i doing here?? good question..
well, in Uruguay the summer is in the months December-March, this is a period that you won't find a soul in Montevideo.. almost everybody is out of the city and goes to vacations..
that's the reason that we had so little events.. you have to be here to understand what's an empty city..!
In January we had two dinners with friends that were still in the city, we had a shabat dinner with all the people that we could "scratch" from all the people that we know and were still in Montevideo, and we had a farewell 'party' to Zev the fifth member of the house.. we already miss him so much!!
Because there's almost nothing to do in these months, we received a month of vacation, we chose to travel here in south America, Lior and me, traveled from Buenos Aires to Bariloche, up to Pucon, Chile. then down to the south in a rented car, it was great!! 11 days with a car, then to El Calafate to see the glacier Perito Moreno that's an amazing thing! highly recommended!!
from there we got to Punta Arenas in a bus, and now we're in Usuhaia, it's very beautiful!
and in two days we're going back to Montevideo, ready for some hard work! all the trip was amazing, we knew a lot of people from all kinds, it really is a great experience!
see you in Uruguay!

Moishes Back in Town
hello all my moishe friends.
so living in Moishe House Los A has been awesome thus far. from bbqs, card games, music jamz, moishe retreat, humps from hannah, and making new friends- being a moishe is only beginning to feel real.
updates:
- my shoes are still soggy from the retreat
- my hair is starting to dread in the back, this one piece, wants to go rasta style
- i have a rat living somewhere in my closet
- i started eating candy recently, will stop today
- i learned how to juggle while intoxicated...now i am obsessed
until next time,
peace

Wake up Moishes!!!
Bibibi bip bibibi bip bibibi bip!
A new day, new challenges, new battles. The day's first battlefield is your bed, and the first shot is fired when the alarm clock rings. I WANT vs I SHOULD! I WANT reaches out to hit the snooze button; I SHOULD is ready to jump out of bed and take on another day.
The first instruction in the Code of Jewish Law is: "Be strong as a lion when you wake up in the morning to serve Creator." Because if you win this battle, the rest are lambchops.
Next morning, when you wake up try to be this Lion (explain first to your moishehousemate otherwise they will think your are crazy) and have an amazing day!

january? Karen - MHChicago
January,
Where did you go? What an insane month. Very good. There was a birthday in there somewhere spent with good friends, i know it cause i remember the german chocolate cake, the red velvet cupcake, the carrot cake, and the cheese cake - which means it was spent with many a great friend who happily indulged my love of cakes - there was also some seaweed, some rain, a dead dolphin, some lovely rocks, a touch of pacific sun, colorado mountains, drag queen brunch, and meeting a whole slew of other moishe houses that emcompassed my trip out west. There was also the mad rush to finally turn in my graduate school applications, which i believe it is going to be one of those things i will choose not to think about for a while - as i think the process ate part of my brain along with the last four months of my life. excellent. I will honk my horn for January, and promise to tip drag queens more in my 25th year.
