Moishe House Oakland – Lake Merritt
Welcome to our new Moishe House! We’re so excited to build upon and add to an already thriving Jewish community here in the East Bay. Moishe House Oakland – Lake Merritt will be a place for young Jews from a variety of backgrounds to come together around fun, ritual, learning, and community. Our focus will be on providing a relaxing and accessible place for Jews who might be new to the East Bay or the Jewish community at all, whether they have come to the Bay to work for a non-profit or in tech, from the unaffiliated Jews to camp kids – we welcome all! We’re excited to provide enriching experiences in the local community, as well as warm community gatherings around Jewish ritual and holidays, Jewish learning, and delicious food.
