Who would have thought that anyone could discover the Jewish Learning Exchange in China?
As a West End performer whilst on tour in Beijing, Loredana noticed another girl in her group lighting candles on Friday night. After striking up a conversation, Loredana revealed that her mother was Jewish.
On their return to London, her new friend introduced her to the JLE and she began attending their events.
Fast forward six years and Loredana is now involved in the Young Professionals’ learning programme and engaged to Mark who also travelled a journey of Jewish discovery. They are getting married in just a few weeks’ time and will be setting up their Jewish home in London.
With the help of our incredible team, Loredana and Mark are just some of the many young Jews who walk through JLE’s doors each week, building a fresh, meaningful and relevant connection to Judaism.
