Moishe House works to support community builders to create intentional spaces for Jewish young adults, and we have seen the power of our global community in response to the devastating attacks in Israel. Our young adult leaders have come together to support their community members, our global Moishe House community and the community of the Jewish people. We are in touch with our staff members, our six different Moishe Houses and dozens of Moishe House Without Walls leaders throughout Israel and continue to support them however we can. There is no immediate plan to launch our own emergency fund at this time. We encourage you to support the efforts of the organizations providing direct aid to crisis responders, and those most directly affected by the attacks.
