New Orleans Neighborhoods Partnership Network

The Mission of the Broadmoor Moishe House (aka MoisheNOLA) is to establish an open, accessible space that serves to complement the young professional Jewish and secular communities. At the core of Moishe NOLA is a charge to spark meaningful relationships, creative expression and social action for the purpose of enhancing the city of New Orleans. Moishe NOLA, the local house supported by the Moishe House nonprofit, has been in New Orleans since May 2008, and was founded by Gill Benedek and Jonathan Graboyes. Working for the Neighborhood Partnership Network (NPN) and the Broadmoor Improvement Association (BIA), respectively, they deliberately chose to establish the Moishe House of New Orleans in the Broadmoor neighborhood, to encourage secular and interfaith community dialogue and to foster the growth of a community center within a diverse and thriving neighborhood.
