Moishe House expands rabbi-led offerings in four cities

Moishe House is expanding its network of rabbi-led centers, opening four new homes in New York, Los Angeles, Boston and Chicago for young adults in those cities as part of its Base program, the organization said this week.
Base, which Moishe House acquired from Hillel International in 2021, looks to provide Jewish spaces for younger adults under the guidance of “rabbinical couples,” where either one or both of the partners received ordination from some rabbinical program.
“Young adults crave thick community, inspiring learning, and rituals that have spiritual depth, ongoing relevance, and integrity,” Rabbi Jesse Paikin, executive director of Base, said in a statement.
The new Base homes bring the program’s total number to 14, with centers also in the Bay Area, Denver, Miami, Philadelphia and Ann Arbor, Mich., in addition to those in the cities that are now getting additional centers.
