Entwine is a program by the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) that engages young Jewish adults in international experiences, service projects, and leadership development. It connects participants with global Jewish communities, fosters leadership skills, and encourages a sense of responsibility for social issues. Through cultural immersion and networking, Entwine aims to create informed and globally aware Jewish leaders who actively contribute to positive change worldwide.
Moishe House is a nonprofit organization that creates and supports vibrant, peer-led Jewish community houses around the world. These houses serve as gathering spaces for young Jewish adults to connect, celebrate, learn, and create meaningful experiences together. The organization's mission is to provide a platform for young Jews to build and sustain their own Jewish communities in ways that are relevant to their lives.
Moishe Houses are typically shared living spaces where a group of young adults (usually in their 20s and 30s) live together. They organize and host various events, programs, and gatherings for their local Jewish community. The residents, known as "residents," take the initiative to plan and facilitate activities that reflect their interests and engage their peers.
