Michael Palin and Darcey Bussell glitter on a starry night for JW3

There was a starry turnout for JW3’s biggest fundraising dinner since its launch four years ago. More than 200 guests from across the community enjoyed a special version of the north-west London centre’s “in conversation” series, with Michael Palin interviewed by David Schneider and Darcey Bussell quizzed by Samantha Simmonds.

CEO Raymond Simonson described JW3 as “a vision-driven organisation in a unique position to bring together people from different backgrounds, offering multiple entry points into Jewish life through the breadth, quality and creativity of our programme.” The sentiment was echoed by JW3 founder Dame Vivien Duffield in her closing remarks.
