Join Raymond Simonson, CEO of JW3, for this exclusive “Behind the Scenes” tour of JW3 as it approaches its 10th anniversary.
“As Mayor of London, it has been a real pleasure seeing the growing impact that JW3 has made in such a short time, establishing itself as a significant cultural and community asset. Your efforts in bringing Jewish and non-Jewish Londoners together through a culture of encounter and positive experiences, contribute to making London the greatest city in the world.” Mayor Sadiq Khan
JW3 is the UK’s flagship Jewish Community Centre, the only such venue of its kind in the UK for Jewish arts, culture, learning and community. Open to all, regardless of race, religion, belief, age, gender, sexuality or background, JW3 has welcomed over 1.5million visits through its doors in its first decade. With a cinema, café, restaurant, nursery, auditorium, learning rooms, dance and drama studios, and sunken piazza and more, people come to enjoy a wide variety of activities, events, courses, classes, performances, festivals, social action projects, or just to meat, eat or converse. During this Behind the Scenes visit, you will learn more about JW3’s unique vision and role in London; discover how the organisation continued to impact on thousands of people every week during lockdown, despite the building being closed; hear how a cultural centre runs a Food Bank within its walls and handled a visit from King Charles II; enjoy a private tour of young London artist Zoom Rockman’s acclaimed “Jewish Hall of Fame” interactive exhibition; and have the chance to relax with a drink at the Hampstead Beach “a taste of Tel Aviv in NW3”!
