Benefits of Joining
Jewish life as part of daily life In the U.S., it’s hard to integrate Jewish life with daily life. We tend to experience our Jewish identities in a compartmentalized way, such as when we find ourselves at a synagogue or a Passover seder. In contrast, Jewish life – Jewish culture, food, ritual, and tradition – will be available as part of regular, daily life in Berkeley Moshav. 
A vibrant life for children As communities in America become more and more detached and lonely, cohousing offers the healthiest possible social life for children of all ages. From the opportunity to play with friends who live in the same area to mentorship from older generations, a child gets the benefit of literally being raised by a village. 
Aging in place We take care of each other, which makes it easier to age in place. Need a ride to the doctor? Having trouble opening that jar? Just ask any of your 30 neighbors. Need a little motivation or company to exercise? We got you. |
Diverse families welcome Berkeley Moshav is inclusive of families of all backgrounds. We wholeheartedly welcome Jews of all backgrounds, from secular to religious, interfaith families, people of color, and families from other traditions to our community. 
Connected community How do cohousers engage with one another? In large and small groups we eat, hike, dance, celebrate, watch movies, discuss politics, volunteer in the community, watch each others’ kids, run errands, bake cookies, picnic, and even stargaze (all of it together, if you so choose!). |
