Boston's retreat

Last weekend, we took 30 of our community's leaders on a retreat up in New Hampshire thanks to a grant from our local Federation's Young Adult Task Force.

It was wonderful. We made Shabbos together, relaxed by the lake, did Torah study, had a couple of skill-share sessions, ate well, and spent a morning visioning for our community.

It was a beautiful time, and really demonstrated the strength of what we've built so far, and the potential we've got to create something even more substantial and far-reaching. I know that I'm excited to work with our existing and emerging leadership to make Moishe House Boston a model of progressive Jewish community-building, a center where young people find meaning together and leverage our collective power for positive change.
