As a personal preparation for the High Holydays, we shall use a recent collection of essays published by Jewish Lights to explore the Unetaneh Tokef prayer which lies at the very heart of the liturgy for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

This famous prayer, sung to the most beautiful and haunting melodies, challenges us to consider the meaning of life and death in relation to our own values and actions.

These two sessions shall open up the prayer for us and encourage us to look at ourselves in the light of its bold picture of the human condition.

Handouts will be supplied but participants may wish to bring their own copies of the High Holyday Machzor (prayerbook).

The recitation of Selichot, on Saturday night before Rosh Hashanah is the traditional Ashkenazi way to officially welcome the High Holiday season.
As in previous years, Kehilat Nitzan will be holding a Selichot study night culminating with the traditional Selichot service.

The word Selichot literally means forgiveness; therefore, our topic for this year's Selichot evening is asking/granting forgiveness and saying sorry. Through discussion and films, we will deal with questions relating to forgiveness and reconciliation in the context of Indigenous Australians, Apartheid in South Africa and the Shoah.

Our speakers are:
Jade Johnson, Sidney Bloch, Henri Korn

The evening will be held on Saturday 4 September, 9:00 pm at B’nai B’rith House.

With the tensions between North and South as a prominent backdrop, this musical portrays the harrowing story of a man who is made an outcast because of his beliefs and origin, and he and his wife’s struggle against prejudice and sensationalism to prove his innocence.

Alfred Uhry's book and Jason Robert Brown's musical both won Tony Awards and will both change the way you view musical theatre. Both Uhry and Brown have utilised the elements of musical theatre to create a story which will immerse, captivate and move audiences.

Iquitos is the starting point on our Explorama's Peruvian Jewish Amazon Adventures to this Biodiversity Capital of the World. A unique feature of the rainforest surrounding Iquitos is its lack of a specific rainy or dry season. There is a high water period from December through May which is caused by the melting of snow as the Andean summer begins and from the rainy season in the upper jungle. While the water level can fluctuate more then 45 feet, the warm and humid climate remains relatively constant throughout the year.

In its inaugural year, Festival First Night attracted 200 000 people into the heart of the city.

The Festival has a history of presenting Australian premieres and many of Australia's most memorable productions such as Cloudstreet have resulted from Sydney Festival's commitment to nurture local artists.

The Fairfield Farmers Market is a true authentic farmers market.

You will find a vast array of "Victorian only" produce on offer, with most stallholders playing a role in the production process. Whether they have been picking, plucking, brewing or stewing you simply cannot get it fresher than at a farmers market and refreshingly there is absolutely no re-selling!

Farmers Markets support local produce and help the environment (food miles and minimal packaging) but for the savvy foodie, it is a chance to meet the maker and quiz them face-to-face on their delightful goodies.

At an inSeason Market you will find items such as artisan breads, deli-style foods, wine, honey, cheeses, olive oil, jams and preserves, seasonal fruit, vegies, herbs and nuts, fresh and cured meats, eggs, poultry, plants, fresh flowers and much much more.
