Welcome to the program for Limmud Oz Melbourne 2025!
Join us for an immersive weekend festival of Jewish ideas and culture, with >100 presenters and sessions to choose from. From Ben-Gurion to bagels, Yentl to yoga, we always have something for everyone. Limmud is an opportunity for you to cultivate a personal Jewish experience and learn from presenters you might never come across otherwise.
Ari Wenig, Anita Lester, Rita Satch, Adam Starr, Jonathan Skovron and Shira Etzion will each sing an original song, and will also interpret a favourite song written by a Jewish composer.
Ari Jacob is a writer and musician. He made Aliyah at the age of 22 and moved back to Melbourne 8 years later, where he now lives with his wife and step-son. Ari has released 6 albums and an original Kabbalah inspired musical, "Son Called Moon".
Shira is an 18 year old singer based in Melbourne. She has been singing and loving all music since she can remember. She has recently been writing some original music as she begins a new chapter of her music career.
The MKS was created in 2024 to expand the knowledge and enjoyment of Klezmer music in the Melbourne community and Australia, and to make a global contribution to the Klezmer world.
