wow, moishe, moishe, moishe. what a gem we stumbled upon. "you just get together young jews in your hood and we'll help you with rent and expenses" -- unreal! this type of innovative giving is unmistakbly jewish. the whole experience is entirely affirming of my concept of judaism. amid all the prayers, history, rituals and holidays it really just boils down to community. above all other aspects of judaism, it truly could not function without community.
so here we are with a brand-new moishe house in providence. this little city is home to many sub-communities and lots of young jews -- but scant opportunities to really mix the two. this first month has been great - setting up shop, getting to know the neighbors and putting out the vibe.
and we're already getting a spectrum of request for events: everything from a regular torah-study with a local rabbi to a halloween dance party. look out providence, moishe's in town :)
