Hola from Moishe House Buenos Aires
Moishe House creates a space for young Jews to create a Jewish community of their own. In a world where we have the autonomy, freedom of choice and abilities to consciously choose each ingredient that make up our own worlds (Jewish and otherwise), the Moishe House offers a space for Jewish lives, of our own design, to develop. Moishe House also crucially facilitates building a community of like-minds choosing a similar path.
Moishe House Buenos Aires aims to offer a space and provide experiences where young Jews can progress on their own personal Jewish journeys, together with their friends. It aims to be part of building a Jewish community by bringing Jews together and enjoy developing Jewish values through tikkun olam, deepening connections to Judaism through Jewish learning and in strengthening a sense of being part of a community of Jewish friends through celebrating and commemorating the Jewish calendar together. Just being together, hanging out, eating together, going out together, chatting, playing and partying also form a very important part of ensuring that Moishe members are enjoying the journey, forging friendships, maybe finding the loves of their lives and then having little Moishes running around!! he he he! Ultimately we've got to ensure the future of the Jewish people - right? ;)
What the Moishe House will be like in the future is difficult to predict because change is inevitable. But the Moishe House will continue to thrive because it works. It reaches a group in a target age range that no other initiative of its kind does. One key factor that ensures its success and longevity, is the freedom it offers its Houses. It allows each to adapt to its environment, and trusts the Housemates to tailor-make programmes for their communities, without having strict guidelines. As Darwin said, “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.”
