I did not want somebody telling me what to do in order to become more religious, I wanted to learn what is right for myself. The atmosphere that Mendel and Raizy create is nothing short of amazing. Jews of every different background come together, no lines exist. I don't know how they do it, but they've created a place that helped me start down the path I've been unconsciously seeking for years. What I experience in their home is an incredibly welcoming, friendly environment in which every person plays a part.
People learn together.
People sing together. People eat together, dance together, joke together, laugh together. People GROW together. Shabbos House is what brings us together. I remember my first visit to the home of Rabbi Mendel and Raizy, during freshman weekend very vividly.
