IN-PERSON PROGRAMS - MOISHE HOUSES & PODS Over the past 18+ months, young adults have reported increased feelings of anxiety, depression or loneliness due to the pandemic. With the rollout of the vaccines and other safety measures, Moishe Houses and Moishe Pods have proven ideally positioned for young adults to start integrating back into social gatherings. Below is a reflection of this demand across our global network: Moishe House Perm, Russia visiting Holocaust survivors

BEYOND THE HOUSES Moishe House acquires and grows the Base Movement Since welcoming the Base Movement to the Moishe House family, Base has expanded to add two additional Base locations in Chicago, bringing our network to nine rabbic couples leading pluralistic, home based communities for young adults in Boston, Chicago, Miami and New York City. In Q3 Moishe House received significant funding from the Crown Family Philanthropies to expand in 2022, with Base opening in two new communities contingent on securing full local funding.
Camp Nai Nai 20 21 -
Camp Nai Nai Nai returns in-person
All Camp Portra it
Moishe House’s Jewish summer camp for young adults returned to an in-person experience in 2021, hosting a sold-out group of 100 campers at Capital Camps in Waynesboro, PA over Labor Day. Given the success of this experience, Camp Nai Nai Nai has added an additional camp in December 2021, to be held at Greene Family Camp outside of Dallas.
Moishe House Research & Development: Remote Working from Israel and Co-Working at Moishe Houses Onward Israel We partnered with Onward Israel to provide a cohort of over 20 young professionals the opportunity to spend 4-8 weeks in Israel with our Career Onward experience this fall. Participants worked in their current roles with approval from their employers while immersing themselves in the life and culture of Israel.
Co-Working Workspace Pilot Program Our Research & Development (R&D) team is testing a new concept. We have launched a co-working space pilot program in Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and Rome. Think of it as Moishe House meets Starbucks or WeWork. This concept is catching on as a viable option for working professionals who desire a human connection throughout the work week.

ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT “The sole reason we bought our kitchen table was that it could fit the maximum number of people for Shabbat. If you don’t know where to go, call us and you’ll always have a spot. We have a few more high chairs and it’s a bit messier than it used to be but [hosting] is one of the things we love most.” - Ally Berman Pictured: Ally Berman and Michael Godin, Moishe House Legacy Society members, with their daughter Mira.
