Moishe House Vienna - July

We believe the involvement of participants is one of the main elements of a successful event. As one of the main goals of Moishe house is to create a sense of community for young professional Jews, we always try to encourage participants to take part in the organising of events which make them feel part of the Moishe house rather than just guests.

We also believe that people should come out of an event either having learnt something new, having met new friends, with a happy feeling and of course well fed with tasty food!

Regarding the number of participants, we believe that the quality is more important than quantity; we would rather invite 10 people who would really get involved and would benefit truly from Moishe house rather than having large numbers coming just for the food. In Vienna, depending on the kind of event, the number of attendees can vary between 15 to 50.

We recently organised a mini retreat just outside Vienna, with both regular participants and new ones. Almost everyone got involved in putting the event together which made everyone feel like a big family.

Though we believe that the best way of getting people really involved is by focusing only on one to two people at a time. Generally these people will bring then two more each.

We wish you success in your events and a wonderful summer!
