Jewish community events
How events work
jwave HIGH Experiences are carefully designed to maximise fun and a provide a sense of community.
Teens are often grouped by year, providing opportunities to create, develop and foster friendships while deepening their engagement with Jewish life and community.
Participating in Experiences is a new way for families to connect with one another, and BJE Madrichim (leaders), in the years leading up to, and after, BJE’s once-in-a-lifetime five-week Israel program.
Experiences are co-created with our dedicated jwave parent volunteers and are essential to building our community.
We thank The JCA Millie Phillips Jewish Education Fund for their generous support of our 2021 Experiences.
