What I see as the future for Moishe House does not have much to do with a particular vision of how the community is constituted, or with following a particular road-map. Rather, it's a vision made up of the individual characteristics of residents and from those who take part in the events. It is those elements which are so varied and are undergoing constant change. I believe that for Moishe House to be able to be consistently responsive and open to that change is the biggest challenge and the most trying task.
Like any family or team, it's not only the individual personalities that matter, but how they come together to create something cohesive and special. For me, the true beauty of this program are the interactions that have all parties feeling like they contributed in some way (tangibly or not) and benefited in another (tangibly or not). More often than not, I see this as the result of blind and uninhibited investment and faith. My experience in Moishe House has shown me that such opportunities for growth such as these within the context of our lives are ample.
But like the old expression goes, "It takes two to tango." The future of Moishe House lies within each of our efforts to take the time to passionately express ourselves. And of equal importance, to be vigilant in taking the time, and encouraging others to let us do the listening. Whether you've lived in a Moishe House for over three years or you're coming to an event for the first time, you're investing in the same idea. That community, when configured with that type of intention, can make our lives better. For the sake of this project's future, I hope we remember that every contribution we make, however small or however big, enriches us all. If we can do that, our future, in whatever shape it takes, will be bright.
