AGE & LIFESTYLE BASED

A place for Jewish couples in their 20's & 30's, to meet, hang out, and have fun.

COMMUNITY SERVICE

In January, 2006, Moishe House opened its first house in Oakland, California, with four Jewish friends who were all excited by the idea of creating a vibrant Jewish community out of their own home. Since opening its first house, Moishe House now has 23 houses in 7 countries that serve as hubs for the young adult Jewish community with an emphasis on ages 21-30. Moishe House provides a rent subsidy and a program budget for a handful of young, eager, innovative Jews to live in and create their vision of an ideal Jewish communal space.

Mission:
Each house is unique in its programming and personality. The programming offered in each house includes social service programs, religious opportunities, inter-cultural dialogue, book clubs, Yiddish classes, outdoor adventures, and much more. Each Moishe House hosts between 50 and 300 young Jewish adults each month. The programming of each house is shared through the online Moishe House community as well as through annual retreats for Moishe House residents. Programs are evaluated by national Moishe House staff at the beginning of each month.

Clusters

Have you ever moved to a new city or town and not known where the best place for pizza is? Have you ever wanted to go to a Shabbat dinner but didn't know where to go, or have anyone to go with? These are just some of the reasons GesherCity started Clusters.

A Cluster is a volunteer-led group based around a common interest, age group, or area of town. If you don't see one you like, you can suggest an idea for your own Cluster!
