Create Your Dream Jewish Community

Whether you love to host gatherings, facilitate conversations, create spaces for Jewish rituals, or just to bring people together, becoming a Moishe House or Pod (pronounced “moy-shuh”) resident provides you with the opportunity to create a pluralistic Jewish community that’s yours! Moishe House invites Jewish young adults to create monthly programming with your roommate(s) for your local community and become a part of a global Jewish network. We provide the tools and support, you create the programs that fit your interests and community – all are welcome to apply!

Not sure if you should be a Moishe House resident because you’ve felt like you didn’t belong in a Jewish community previously, didn’t feel “Jewish enough”, or may not have a deep Jewish historical or ritual knowledge?

Not sure if you should be a Moishe House resident because you’re Shabbat-observant, keep intentionally kosher, and have a deep love for torah and singing zemirot around the table?

Guess what – you may be EXACTLY who we’re looking for! Moishe House is looking to open intentionally kosher and Shabbat-observant locations AND locations for those of you who have felt you’ve never belonged. Please contact us so we can tell you more!

Check out our current Moishe House or Pod openings below.

“Before Moishe House, I didn't realize that community could be made to be so specific. Sharing a heritage or religion is sometimes not enough to bring together community; shared experiences, perspectives, and visions for the future matter too. It feels amazing to really be connected to and comfortable with a group of young adults from the broader community.” -David, Moishe Pod Queens Resident

“Moishe House has impacted my life in many ways. Thanks to my flatmates I’ve found a new family and we work together to create our small Jewish community. We experience a lot of joy and happiness during our events and Moishe House has given us the opportunity to improve ourselves every day.” -Emma, Moishe House Budapest Resident

“I am forever grateful to Moishe House for giving me the resources to create a warm home infused with a love of Judaism, Torah, and mitzvot, and to make space and community for young Jews of both religious and non-religious backgrounds alike." -Hannah Leeman, 26, MH Philadelphia & Baltimore Resident Alumna, Medical Student & Vaccine Strategist
