As I sit here reflecting on my visit to the Moishe Houses in Buenos Aires, Cape Town, Johannesburg and Mexico City, it is difficult for me to fully express the appreciation I have to the residents for the incredible job they have done taking the concept of Moishe House and turning it into vibrant Jewish communities.  While each house has it’s own unique character and personality, I was most impressed by the qualities that were common amongst all four houses that I visited most notably a passion for creating Jewish community and a dedication to those around them.
