May - achla chodesh ;)

Hello Moishe house members


When I look back on the last month, I found it very inspiring.
Check the staff we had:
Brilliant lecture about South Africa after the new election and after Jacob Zuma became the president, The meaning of Tikun Olam and social action, an amazing guest speaker to come a talk about a fascinating organization called "voices of Rwanda" , report back from our friends who came back from Israel and their experiences, Tikun leili on Shavuot and many more.

Nice, hey?

And obviously we had some chilled friendly gathering as always.
can't complaint... ;)

Best event of the week goes to...
our lovely (and modest) 'Book Club'!
Every month we gather few of our friends for a chilled and interesting talks about our favorite books. Great vibe !


That's it for now chaverim,
Hope you all moishehousniks around the world are well ;)

Highlights of the month

Hello Moishe house ppl!!

Gabi and Ross were gone to Israel for a week and half.
Luckily,
Moishe house was busy than ever, and many friends came to chill and hang out so me and Dylan won't feel to longly ;)

It was a special month for me particularly as an Israeli.
It felt a bit weird to spend Yom Hazikaron (Israel memorial day for the fallen soldiers) and Yom Haatzmaut (Israel independence day) far away from home.


There are 2 highlights from this month:

The first one was an outreach.
We gathered many ppl to join a rally and support equal rights in South AFrica and fight agaist corrution and injustices.
Didn't think I will connect to that as this is not my country but I found it very inspiring.
The conversation after that and the talks about our roll as jews in world were fascinating.

The second one was a night we celebrated and marked Israek 61th year of independece.
We went over Israeli histoy by the music and songs that represented every period.
was soo cool.
Such a great vibe!!



Another fantastic month and it's only getting better !
