Founded by Rabbi Mark N. Wildes in 1998, MJE is a community where men and women in their 20s and 30s can explore Jewish life and meet new people. It runs a wide range of inclusive, engaging and innovative programs for thousands of young Jewish professionals, including Shabbat dinners, holiday events and parties, classes, beginner services, trips to Israel, marching in the Israel Day Parade and more. MJE was founded in memory of the late Ruth B. Wildes.
