Who is MJE for?
MJE is for young Jewish professionals in their 20s and 30s. MJE welcomes Jews of all religious backgrounds. Most MJE events (including but not exclusive to parties, retreats, dinners, etc.) are intended for less affiliated Jewish adults in their 20s and 30s. We have a few select events that are open to a more general demographic. We reserve the right to deny entry to anyone who does not fit all terms and conditions including but not exclusive to age.
Is MJE religious?
MJE and MJE Educators follow Modern orthodox Jewish religious practices and standards. All food and drinks at MJE events are certified Kosher by recognized national and/or regional kosher supervision agencies. However, most MJE community members do not consider themselves Modern Orthodox. We welcome Jews of all religious backgrounds and observance levels. Our doors are open for you to learn and explore your Judaism.
What precautions are you taking in regard to COVID-19?
Starting in March 2020 we moved all of our programs online. We have been using Zoom, Facebook Live, and other virtual platforms to continue providing classes and social events to our community. As New York City begins to reopen, we are resuming in-person events in accordance with all state and CDC guidelines. We are continuing to monitor COVID-19 and update our policies accordingly.
Is MJE a dating service? Do you have singles events? Will I find my soulmate?
MJE is not a dating service, but we do host singles events. We can’t guarantee you will find your soulmate. However, there are many NJBs and NJGs who attend our events and many people have met their current partners and husbands and wives at MJE. There are 300+ MJE couples!
Is MJE only for singles?
MJE is not only for singles, we welcome Jews regardless of their relationship status and we have many couples who attend our events.
