Pesach Gathering 2026

Kos & Kaos gathered for a special Pesach evening together with the newly opened Moishe House Oslo. Around the table we shared the story of the Exodus using our own Kos & Kaos Haggadah, blending tradition with discussion, reflection and a lively exchange of ideas.

Guests took turns reading passages, offering interpretations and connecting the ancient story to contemporary experiences of freedom, identity and belonging. The room quickly filled with the familiar rhythm of a good seder: texts being passed around, questions raised, wine poured, and conversations unfolding between friends old and new.

As the evening continued, the table slowly emptied while the discussions grew deeper and more animated. What began as a holiday gathering became exactly what Pesach is meant to be, a living conversation across generations, shaped by curiosity, warmth and shared memory.

The atmosphere was intimate and joyful, and it felt like a beautiful way to mark both the holiday and the beginning of a new chapter for Jewish communal life in Oslo. The evening also marked a wonderful start for Moishe House Oslo as a new home for gatherings, conversations and Jewish cultural life in the city.

What is Moishe House?

Moishe House is a global network that supports young Jewish adults in creating vibrant Jewish community life. Founded in 2006, the organization provides housing and resources for groups of young leaders who open their homes to host Jewish events, gatherings and cultural programs.

Today there are Moishe Houses in more than 25 countries and over 100 cities, where residents organize Shabbat dinners, holiday celebrations, learning sessions, and social events for their local communities. The idea is simple: Jewish life grows strongest when it is built by peers, in homes, and through shared experiences.

Through this model, Moishe House has become one of the largest grassroots platforms for young Jewish community-building in the world.
