change has come to MH Providence

Firstly, MH Providence has moved to a new new space! The new building is a classic Providence home, restored through the Preservation Society, with a charming and homely exterior. The interior space is huge (!) with high ceilings, spacious social area and larger kitchen.

Secondly, MH Providence has relocated to a new neighborhood on the west side of Providence. With its funky patchwork culture, the west side is home to many twenty-something Jews. The new house is right across from a giant park for outdoor events in the Spring and Summer.

And saving the best for last: we've got a new Moishe House resident. World meet Stephanie Gerson. Stephanie, world. Stephanie simply cannot help herself from hosting themed gatherings. She has worked professionally with social media technologies and already has ideas about how to use the web to extend the Moishe community. Stephanie has already brought a burst of energy and creative freshness to MH Providence.

The re-vamped, Moishe House will be known as Moishe House Providence 2.0 - or MHPVD 2.0 - in honor of our second iteration and our intention to better utilize Web 2.0 technologies. I have confidence that all three changes will be very positive for Moishe House!

Much love,
Nathaniel
