Who hasn't heard of Moishe House in Vienna? Today, Moishe House is the organization which is involving the most people in Vienna, organizing the most events! Everybody is somehow involved, from Jewish mothers to rabbis and senior citizen but most important of all of course... the young adult Jewish community! Hundreds of people are involve in the project, helping organizing the events, cooking for Shabbat, giving lectures or simply participating in the events.
Our mission statement is to create a vibrant and meaningful community for young Jewish in their 20's. This is done through all kind of events from social to spiritual, cultural and historical. Vienna is a city like many other Eastern European cities that has a very difficult and sad history for the Jewish community. After the WWII, Jewish life in Vienna was almost non-existent, especially for young Jews; Moishe house is a unique opportunity to revert from a sad and cold past to a warm and happy future for the young Jews in Vienna.
Moishe house Vienna is now celebrating its first year in it beautiful penthouse in the center of Vienna. In a year, the programs didn't stop growing from a few people attending to many, some interested to learn more about Judaism, some are interested in Tikun Olam (such as visiting the retirement center) and other are simply happy to be part of the warm big colorful family, the Moishe House family!
We would like to take the chance to thank David Cygielman, Kevin Sherman and the rest of the MH Headquarter crew and of course all those who financially contribute to make this whole experience possible.
We have no doubt that the project will continue to grow positively and have a great impact in the whole world!
Warm regards from Vienna,
Michael, Eytan and Daniel
