Shana Tova שָׁנָה טוֹבָה
Kehilat Nitzan is the only Masorti (Conservative) congregation in Melbourne, Australia. We are committed to Jewish tradition and law (halachah), Israel and Zionism, Jewish learning and the study of Torah.
The Yamim Nora'im (Days of Awe) started at Kehilat Nitzan last Saturday 8 September with a beautiful Selichot service. Members and friends are invited to join us for the High Holy Days 5784 over the coming weeks.
We offer traditional, egalitarian Shabbat, morning minyanim and chag (festival) services, and shiurim (study sessions) in a warm and friendly environment. We welcome and include everybody, regardless of age, gender, or sexual orientation.
Our mission is to be an inclusive, vibrant home where traditional Judaism is lived and breathed, where community is family, where learning inspires action, where prayer touches the hearts and good deeds repair the world.

We look forward to welcoming you!

Wednesday, Nov 8th 2:00p to 4:00p
On 8 November we will discuss ' Wifedom ' by Anna Funder. The author boldly takes on her hero, George Orwell, to reinstate his wife, Eileen O'Shaughnessy, in his life and work.
