Moishe House Jewish Learning and Leadership Retreats are multi-day, immersive learning experiences that train Jewish young adults worldwide in ritual and program skills. They are:
- Immersive: Enter a new (head)space that’s away from the everyday.
- Inclusive: Learn in a truly pluralistic environment – no judgements or prerequisites.
- Interactive: Learn while DOING, through hands-on sessions taught by incredible Jewish educators.
- Implementable: We focus on teaching TANGIBLE skills which will serve you in your role as a Jewish leader – Moishe House and beyond.
In short, Moishe House Retreats are a place to learn how to be “youish” – Jewish in a way that makes sense for you!
There are two main types of Retreats:
- Staff-Led (led by a Moishe House staff person and guest educators)
- Peer-Led (led by a trained facilitator who participated in our Retreatology program).
See below for a calendar and descriptions of upcoming staff-led Retreats.

Food can represent many things. Not only is it a necessary form of sustenance, but it can also evoke sensations such as familiarity, intimacy, pain, and nostalgia. In the case of the Jewish people, food can also carry deep symbolism linked to spiritual and historical lessons, as well as bear the marks of centuries of happy and painful history at the same time, of diversity and deep existential dilemmas. |
