So i'm back, having moved cities from the quiet and still waters of Cape Town, to the large, pollution infested minedumps of Johannesburg, one of Africa's biggest cities and the home of Moishe House JHB.
Joburg, while being a real 'African' city, is also home to the largest (by far) Jewish community in SA, a community that we're very much an integral part of. Many in this community are conservative, a large number religous, and most intolerent to the idea that is Moishe House. nonetheless, the fact that we're not a synagogue has not stopped us, and - as expected - we have outdone our predecessors with more and more events every month!
We've also introduced new things, such as inter-organization events, yoga and exciting guest speakers, all of which are making moishe JHB a more vibrant and visitor-friendly place.
Finally, I'm not studying this year, and am instead doing work for a Jewish Foundation and Youth Group. This leaves lots of time to grow the house, something that has proven to be very inspiring.
All the best
Daniel
