My Nonprofit Reviews

I have attended events hosted by a number of organizations whose mission statements can be generally summarized as "bringing Jews in their 20's together," and none of them compare to Moishe House. Moishe House has perfectly captured the unique idea of providing a consistent venue in the form of an actual home where members of the community can participate in events. A casual atmosphere coupled with a diverse range of events creates a constant flow of newcomers and an opportunity to meet new friends. Each month I witness people meeting each other for the first time, exchanging phone numbers, and becoming friends. For example, last month approximately 25 people came to the monthly Shabbat dinner hosted at our home. A number of people came alone but within 20 minutes of arriving were engaged in conversations and eventually they all went out afterwards for a drink. At an event later in the month a couple girls who had met new friends thanked us for hosting such an event and for creating an environment to meet new people. Meeting new people and maintaining existing friendships in the context of enjoying fun events, ranging from trivia night to Shabbat dinners, is exactly the goal of Moishe House. The wonderful part about Moishe House is that the stated mission of "creating a Jewish community for those in their 20's" is actually happening. People are hearing about Moishe House, and the word is spreading. The organization is standing on a firm ground and will only continue to thrive. With thirty houses all over the world and counting, I believe Moishe House will soon become the preeminent international organization for creating Jewish community for those in their 20's, not to mention the generation of house residents growing into and becoming Jewish leaders. I'm extremely proud to be a Moishe House resident. I've donated to the house myself, I recognize the importance and value of this amazing product, and I hope to fund a house myself one day.
