Help Us Shine a Light on Jewish Culture and Traditions
As Jews in Australia today we are facing new and unique challenges. We are experiencing rising antisemitism, cultural cancelling and significant losses in the arts and creative sectors.
We are committed to changing this through our educational programs, exhibitions and outreach to reach Australian audiences, ensuring that Jewish stories shine brightly. Your support will assist us to carry out this vital work.
The impact your donation will have includes helping us to educate school students and teachers. This year, over 3,700 school students and over 650 teachers visited our spaces—for many, this was their first meeting with a Jewish person. Through the Museum they have been exposed to the rich contributions of the Jewish community to Australia’s vibrant and multicultural society.
We are piloting a range of new educational programs for schools, which are designed to combat antisemitism and connect cultures, one of the many ways we help create a more compassionate and tolerant society and future. With over 80% of our visitors coming from non-Jewish backgrounds, this work is crucial in fostering understanding, building bridges and combating antisemitism.
Your support allows us to continue this vital educational work, shaping future generations who will carry these lessons forward.
By making a donation today, you can help us expand our reach and deepen the impact of our programs:
- A donation of $180 supports the development of interactive programs and events that educate and inspire.
- A gift of $540 helps extend the Museum’s outreach, allowing us to illuminate Jewish life well beyond our four walls.
- An impactful donation of $1,800 ensures that we support our programs in educating schools students against antisemitism.
