Limmud Oz Melbourne 2025

This session delves into the often-unseen realities faced by Jewish athletes/players and their parents at all levels of competition. Do ethical/integrity-related rules in sport work effectively for Jewish participants? How can we ensure a truly welcoming and safe sporting environment for all Jewish participants – both in Jewish contexts and general contexts? And why does it matter? We'll critically examine the existing ethical and legal frameworks that apply to sports and explore the real life challenges faced by Jewish athletes, including issues of child safeguarding, bullying, violence and antisemitism.
