Join a project

Join us on Mitzvah Day as we come together to care for and improve our shule and the spaces we share as a community. We’ll be tackling a range of jobs around the shule, including tidying and cleaning outdoor areas, freshening up indoor spaces, and helping with general maintenance and organisation. There will be plenty of different tasks to get involved in, so whether you have an hour or a few hours, and whether you’re handy, organised or simply happy to lend a hand, we’d love your help. It’s a practical way to give back to our community, work alongside others and help make our shule an even more welcoming place for everyone.

Support with packing Kookaburra Kindness Boxes to prepare for them to be distributed to government primary schools in Glen Eira over Hannukah. The Kookaburra Kindness Box is a cross cultural multimodal literacy resource to support culturally safe classrooms in government schools over Hannukah. Created by myself (a VIT registered teacher who is Jewish and is employed as a Trauma Informed Education Specialist) along with Dr Naba Alfayadh, the author of the Kookaburra Kindness book, in collaboration with Monash University and in Partnership with Stand Up. This initiative is funded by Rahma Health.
