Kicking off phase II of the master plan!

So let's be honest. We've got this baby warmed up. MoHouse Boston is good and humming, prompting random outbreaks of AC/DC's "For those about to rock, we salute you" around the house at the most unexpected of moments.

But seriously, something like 90 folks showed up for our Shabbat last night (props to Margie and Ari for building that thang up to the point that the downstairs neighbors are witholding a lil bit of love these days), and Alyson has voiced a bold thought: "We need to start farming some of this sh*t out!"

Preach it, sister.

Towards that goal, we held our first team dinners this month, pulling together folks to talk about spirituality and learning, arts activities, and a spring social justice campaign. Ideas have been flying around, new folks have been coming out of the woodwork, and it seriously looks like we're about to pick it up a notch.

Since I'm coordinating our social justice work (with much help from the rest of the 'mates), let me just recount what that team meeting was like. About 16 folks showed up, thought seriously about how our community could best contribute to some awesome campaigns going on around town, and picked a few concrete issues to move on.

With the Jewish Labor Committee, we're going to take the lead on this year's Labor Seder. And don't tell Morris, but we're also going to work with Tekiah to further the efforts of the Islamic Society of Boston to build a house of worship for our city's growing Muslim community (since the right-wingers at the David Project have sued to stop 'em...ugh).

In addition, we've got point people figuring out how best we can plug into some pretty solid environmental and immigrant justice campaigns that are already moving. With any luck (and some good organizing, of course), the Moishe/Kavod House will be starting to make a splash in Boston progressive politics pretty damn soon.

All of which is just to say, we're gonna rock tonight...till the guitar bite.
