I am currently on a little break between graduation my Masters program and starting a real job as a math teacher in Philadelphia so I decided to take a bit of a travel experience this summer. My family was doing a trip to Italy to visit my sister who studied in Milan for the semester, and I expanded the trip to include Slovenia and, since it was in the neighborhood, Israel. From many of the things I have seen and heard so far in the holy land, I can tell you that we are really getting our name out there and I am happy to be a part of the whole experience of Moishe House.
I have only been here for 5 days and yet I have met people who have already heard about Moishe House ahead of me coming here. Also, those who had not heard were excited to learn about the whole prospect of it for their futures. I had Shabbat lunch with some college students (it was funny to go around and share where you were from - in the midst of everyone saying "I'm from Brandeis" etc, I had to say I had actually graduted already. Damn). During lunch my former housemate Shelby and I shared about the concept of the house and what we do and the students were excited about joining in the mission in the future. At dinner the night before more people were excited about it as well.
Basically, I am happy that our name is getting out there and only hope to continue spreading the gospel :)
