It started with a vision, that the spread out masses of Jewish Young Adults in St. Louis could have a place to congregate, a place to come together, meet each other, make some new friends, and feel comfortable at whatever level of Jew-ish they wanted to be.
This past Friday, after hosting over 20 people, we figured out a few things.
We need more. More space, more silverware, table space and chairs. As much fun as it is to have half the group sitting around a dining room table, and the other half sitting on couches in front of the TV, it would really be better to have everyone sitting together.
Another thing is social dynamics. It is often hard to balance all of the personalities, interests and occasionally, egos.
A friend suggested a seating chart to try to put things in harmony, but I really don't like the idea of forcing things any more than necessary. We want organic bonds to form. Its not a fundraiser after all.
How have you managed to deal with the Moishe Movement?
