Act Now Houston II
By Mariel Wilk, Moishe House Phoenix Board Member and Retreat Alum
Moishe House became a second home when I stepped into the world of being an adult after college. Soon after, a kind soul told me about retreats that Moishe House offered for young professionals. I just assumed it would be these silly little weekends of singing songs and socializing. I am not saying that is not great and all, but just not my cup of tea (or matzah ball soup).
But, I decided to give it a chance and look up what these retreats were all about. I was in shock of the amazing opportunities I was missing out on all along when I was so close-minded. I have now been on an outdoor adventure, two mindfulness ones and one Act Now retreats and can hands down say they have been some of the most amazing weekends of my life! Each retreat has impacted my life and my true value of Judaism: community, connection, enlightenment, positive change, and to be a better human, while inspiring those around me to do the same.
This last trip touched on something so near and dear to my heart and soul. I was able to embark on a journey with other beautiful Moishe House members around the country and dive into what I believe is the most influential and important part of Judaism — tikkun olam. Below is just a small summary of my journey as part of the second cohort of the Act Now Houston Service Learning Retreat.
I hope you can take a piece of this with you and invest your time into a future project in your community to instill positive change in the world, for that is what we were all brought here to do in the first place. Thank you Moishe House for helping to make these opportunities a reality.
