Moishe House Without Walls

What does your dream Jewish community look like and how can we help you create it?

Join a global network of creators, lifelong learners, explorers, and leaders who plan and create intentional Jewish experiences for their friends and peers. Moishe House Without Walls (MHWOW – pronounced letter “M”, letter “H”, and “WOW”) provides you with the support, educational, and financial resources to bring your vision to life and to cultivate a Jewish community that’s yours.

Around the world, MHWOW hosts gather their peers for Jewish experiences that range from Friday night Shabbat dinners, holidays, learning events, and cultural celebrations. MHWOW hosts decide who they want to invite, where they want to host, what they want to explore in Judaism, and when they want to gather.

What is a MHWOW host?

MHWOW empowers young adults called “hosts” to confidently cultivate a unique Jewish community of their peers through consistent programming and common interest or practice. Every month, MHWOW hosts create at least one unique Jewish experience for their friends. Programs can be open to the community or invite-only and hosts can live anywhere around the world.

MHWOW hosts:

  • Make an impact in their communities, one program at a time
  • Feel a sense of accomplishment, pride, and joy by hosting others 
  • Thrive on Jewish engagement and connection
