This is just the beginning…Nati from Buenos Aires
The Moishe House experience in Buenos Aires works in every aspect as most of us Agentinians do: haphazard, spontaneous and with loads of energy. As simple as that statement appears to be, it took me a couple of months to understand that this is how people wants the Moishe House to be. I m Nati, the newest member of the Moishe family in Buenos Aires.
Being a Jew is belonging to a big family, and that s how our Moishe members feel once they come to one of the events on our calendar. They instantly realize that they re more than welcome to come back every time they re on the neighborhood, need to drown their sorrows, need company to watch a film or even company just to lay down and do nothing. Nowadays my friends became my housemates friends, and even their friends, and old friends from past moishe habitants are still coming on regular basis to visit us.
Since I moved, I have learned the importance of sharing and giving by living at the same house with a family that s not based on blood, but is now as important to me as my old one. I get advice from my housemates, I got to learn from their jewish backgrounds and got to take my Jewish identity to an amazing new level. Now I can t get to sleep until I talk with them about our usual late night topic: “what was the best thing that happened to you today?”.
