Review for Moishe House, Encinitas, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Being Jewish and in your mid- 20's can be challenging. It's often that time of so- called "in-betweennes." Many of us are out of college and working, but not yet married, not yet part of a synagogue, and still trying to establish the career. This is where Moishe House has stepped in and impacted the Jewish community and world: by meeting the interests and visions of young Jewish adults in their twenties, around the world, who are searching for and to build community. The beauty of Moishe House is that this organization gives the power to its residents and their communities of young Jewish adults to engage and grow the type community they envision and want to be a part of. Being a resident, I have the freedom to plan the types of community- building programs I am interested in and that I feel will best engage old friends and allow me to meet new ones whether its through surfing, a Shabbat hike, a sports night, or just a relaxing Shabbat dinner. Moishe House has filled that vacuum of "in- betweenness" that young Jewish adults in their twenties often feel. Not only do I have a sense of community now, but new friends, old friends, new networks, and old networks alike have a gathering place to organically build and participate in community based off our passions and interests.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

supportive, inspirational, and visionary. The Moishe House staff has helped us develop our interests, visions, and passions into a vibrant Jewish community in Orange County.
