Moishe House
Moishe House seeks to answer the question, "What does Jewish life look like after college?"
By empowering small groups of Jewish young adults to create their own communities based on their needs and interests, Moishe House has been extremely effective and now has a presence in over 28 cities around the world.
The St. Louis Moishe House came into existence in June of 2008 in a renovated synagogue at the corner of Flad and Spring in the Shaw neighborhood of St. Louis City. Our mission was as follows:
"Moishe House STL is a place for young Jews to connect post-college. We are non-denominational, non-sectarian, and generally non-violent. Whether it be a group of people to share a Shabbat dinner with, a place to meet other young Jews, or simply a crew with whom to check out local events, Moishe House is a community for you."
After a few weeks of inviting the few Jewish kids we were meeting over for Shabbat, Rabbi Hershey Novack of the St. Louis Chabad approached me and asked me if I had heard of Moishe House. He had found out about it at ROI and thought it might be a good fit for what we were looking to do.
Pretty soon, our apartment was packed every Friday night, necessitating a move to a larger space. That move took us 4 blocks over to the 4200 block of Shenandoah. We picked up a third roommate, which enabled us to get a rent subsidy, and began hosting even more events.
Moishe House is now located in the Clayton/Richmond Heights area. For more information, please click here
