|  | Shabbat In the City
For Jewish twenty somethings like myself, Jewish life after college can seem like an abyss. Too old for Hillel and too young for most synagogues, we feel there is simply no place to go.
Up until two weeks ago, I was completeley unaware the Moishe House program existed. Moishe Houses provide a Jewish option for Jewish young adults. The more I read and talked to people about it, the more I thought it might be the Jewish outlet I have been looking for. Lucky for me, there is a Moishe House in Washington, D.C. and this Friday, my friend and I plan on attending one of their Shabbat dinners. I am hoping it proves to be a meaningful Jewish experience for the both of us.
