MH Beijing - The Future....
Because of our unique location, it is difficult to say what the future will bring for Moishe House Beijing. The only certainty is change. The young adult Jewish population is drastically different than it was a 10 or even 2 years ago. Such changes reflect the ever-changing face of Beijing itself. One of the most impacting changes we foresee is a greater number of young Jews staying in the city with greater permanency. The growing number of opportunities for recent university graduates from abroad does not seem to be slowing as the global economy has faltered. While we enjoy the transient population filling our events with stories, friends, and souvenirs from their travels, an established community provides a feeling of home that a temporary one cannot. As many can attest to, it is a small Jewish world. These years are Moishe House Beijing's formative years; as more Jews build the community more Jews will hear of the community and want to become part of it themselves. The lasting impact of the current Moishe House residents will be the foundation that attracts and binds the future community members for years to come.
