Welcome to the moishe house tel aviv blog. For those of you who missed the foundation flash, you might not know about our little operation out here. Our Moishe house serves primarily to house/feed/hang out with lone soldiers, or people serving in the Israeli Army with no family in Israel. We converted our bomb shelter into a comfortable space that sleeps up to 3, we keep food in the fridge and fresh sheets and towels around for these guys when they get out of the army on weekends. Basically, we cater more to the M-16 holding crowd, and are looking in to purchasing a nice gun rack for the bomb shelter/lone soldier room. But its not all guns and bombs out here in the holy land. Our house is more about hummus and hookah and giving these guys some time unwind and hang out in one of the most crackin’ cities in the world: Tel Aviv.
While the usual event here consists of Shabbat dinners and casual slumber parties, we are planning a Lone Soldier thanksgiving, consisting of a football game in the park(ing lot), or the “Turkey Bowl” as we are starting to call it here, and hopefully some Pilgrim, costumes and a turkey outfit. Because most soldiers wont be able to get here until Friday, we are going to fuse Shabbat dinner with Thanksgiving and have the first ever “Shabbiving”
On another note if the lone soldier who “borrowed” my running shoes and didn’t return them is reading this blog, please feel free to drop the shoes off any time.
PS check out our videos, we got a good one about a British lone soldier shaving his head before returning to England.

Fabulous indeed. Not sure when I will be in Israel next, but I sure hope to stop by to hang out with you guys! (You may have the opportunity to meet a couple of my housemates this winter or spring. I don't know what their schedules will be, but I know a couple of them will be in Israel.)
Looking forward to my next sojourn in the Holy Land!
Chag Hanukkah Sameach!
