MH Oakland, October Update

In Oakland the Moishe House residents stay in a house that has been referred to as a castle covered with melted marshmellows, the spooky house on the block and the "Synagogue." We embrace the unique beauty which is our home and the community we are building inside. MH Oakland has a legacy, something that has ben put down by past residents of this specific house and and multiple others in our area. We were left with gifts like a basketball hoop, bumper pool and a collection of baseball trophies. Fun is fun and we can't help but embrace this, however the new MHO residents are bringing something completely new to the table. We are a really creative/artistic group and our programing thus far is a reflection of that. Some exciting events we have held so far include monthly Shabbat House Concerts, backyard barbecue movie nights (with videos projected on the wall) and even a Bat-Mitzvah re-enactment. Moishe House's foundation is strong in Oakland and we are working to have cohesive teamwork and general good energy in our home. We are still a hidden treat in our area and will be doing more outreach to bring in new people to our community. There is a serious need for positive social, cultural and spiritual outlets for our peers in Oakland. One, two, ten years down the road, Moishe House's foundation in Oakland will grow stronger and broader exponentially.
