Wow, our first full month in the house and it's already really beginning to feel like home. The girls are great; Jackie has been fabo; My mom has finally chilled now that we have a security gate on our back door; and we've met some really awesome people, including some a few regulars that rock.
We're so excited for another month with Moishe. September is going to be nuts with all the holidays, but I'm certain it will be fantastic. I particularly excited to be spending my fav holiday (Sukkot) with the girls and the Moishe crew. We'll be building a Sukkot, something I've always wanted to do, and looking at how our actions can support the greater community with guest lectures speaking about the local food movement.
Other upcoming events linking us with the larger community this Autumn are: Our clothing swap this evening, where all unclaimed swap items will be donated to a local shelter; Mitzvah Mania, where we'll be joining other Jewish young professional groups to help paint a mural in South Philly; walking with Kristin's Krusade, a walk in memory my friend Sam's best friend who right after graduating from a local Philadelphia university was brutally murdered by her boyfriend. The walk raises money to help prevent violence against women.
While this month has been amazing building our community, we're ready to start engaging the existing community more and more, and lending a hand in making Philadelphia a better place to live.
