FAQs■
It’s my first time coming along, AHHH!
Coming to an event for the first time can be a scary experience, especially if you are new in town or haven’t done anything like this before. So please email me to say hello at gianina@jw3.org.uk and I will make sure you're welcomed when you arrive.
I'm not in my 20s or 30s. Can I still come?
We're glad you're interested, but this event is specifically geared towards people in their 20s and 30s!
Our Young JW3 community is all about building a safe and welcoming space, and we kindly ask that you respect this age guidance.
Do I have to dress in a particular way?
There is no one way to dress for Friday night dinners. Some have the tradition of wearing their best clothes, others like to be more casual, a few of us may be coming straight from work in whatever we put on that morning. Whatever makes you feel good!
Do I have to be a particular type of Jew to join?
Definitely not! Our Friday Nights are open to anyone who’s interested in marking the end of the week with friends, food, drink, and good conversation.
