Artivism, Thanks to the Moishe House

One year ago, my mentor asked what the Jewish community could do to support young Jewish artists. Today, we have created an answer: Moishe House LA. As a filmmaker, I am thirsty to be around other creative, passionate people. By living in the Moishe House LA, I live with people I admire and who can envision a Jewish community that is diverse, welcoming, inclusive, and fun. And, because of the subsidized rent, I am able to devote real time to my filmmaking. For example, last month I was asked to produce a video art installation - my first! Only because of my living situation, I was able to come up with a concept, interview people in the Mo House community, and spend time and energy editing without worrying about how I was going to pay next month's rent. We seek to reach out and support local artists and activists (we also had our first art gallery opening), including ourselves!

Here's the video piece, a look at 4 laws that limited marriage. I could only have produced this in such a short amount of time because of living in a Moishe House, so let me know your thoughts!
