Our Story

Moshava, which means “village” in Hebrew, is a coffee shop and art gallery located on historic West 8th Street in Greenwich Village, and is owned and operated by Jews for Jesus. Through these creative spaces, Moshava is building into what has long made this neighborhood unique: a place where people come together to share ideas and feel connected.

Moshava Art is designed to cultivate and celebrate the arts and artists who make up the creative spirit of the Village. We do this by providing a multi-purpose gallery for everything from exhibitions to rehearsals, social events to performances—accessible to all creatives in the city, regardless of income or exposure.

Moshava was created to share a tangible expression of the goodness of God with those around us. We believe deeply in the power of hospitality and creativity to bring peace, comfort, and restoration into our daily lives, and to give us a glimpse of the world to come. Moshava is where we meet neighbors, old and new, experience the warmth of coffee and the beauty of art, and find a place to belong—a village in the city.
