In the neon after­glow of yesterday’s inau­gural pomp and cer­e­mony, I offer a modest tale: a pro­file by CBS national news of some Chicago high school stu­dents involved with the Mikva Chal­lenge, a remark­able Chicago non-​profit for whom my wife works. Twenty-​six of these stu­dents were spon­sored by Mikva to attend the inau­gu­ra­tion, and Sen­a­tor Dick Durbin pro­vided them with some of the best seats in the house.

But rather than attempt to explain what Mikva is about myself, I direct you to the pro­file, where you can hear it from the mouths of the youth who make the orga­ni­za­tion thrive.  If you’re inter­ested, click here to learn more.
