A regular place to meet, just like before

Your Yedidim was founded to recreate the kind of welcoming, informal Jewish community where young adults can meet, spend time together and get to know people. It’s based on the simple idea that friendships often happen when there is a regular place to turn up, see familiar faces and take part in shared activities.

Come and see what you think.

You don’t have to decide whether Your Yedidim is “for you” before you arrive.
Come to something. Meet a few people. Stay for half an hour or stay all evening.
Then decide whether you’d like to come again.
