Connecting the Sydney Jewish Community

Together, we’re shaping a personal and collective Jewish experience.

Connecting the Sydney Jewish Community

Shalom Collective is a Sydney-based nonprofit creating contemporary Jewish experiences that celebrate culture, deepen identity, and build a thriving community.

Connecting the Sydney Jewish Community

Since 1973, we’ve helped shape the Sydney Jewish community, connecting individuals through transformative experiences that celebrate, explore, and reimagine our rich traditions.

Through innovative programs and strategic partnerships, we provide opportunities for deep, meaningful engagement with Jewish identity and culture, offering individuals experiences to explore and connect with their heritage through a contemporary lens.

Our goal is to cultivate inclusive spaces where each individual program participant feels valued, challenged, and inspired, sparking connections that strengthen community ties to share in the experience of Jewish life together.

What Can Experience Do?

We believe that experience has the power to connect the Sydney Jewish community, preserving and evolving our culture for the future.

Our approach to experience focuses on three key aspects:

  • name-change

    Purpose

    We design high-quality programs that align with our community’s interests, deliver real value, and create a meaningful impact.
  • evolved-look

    Emotion

    We recognise that genuine engagement stems from emotional connection. In a world of distractions, however, capturing attention is increasingly challenging. We curate programs and experiences that don't just command interest; they touch souls.
  • transformed

    Belonging

    We believe a sense of belonging is more vital than ever. By bringing people together to celebrate shared experiences, strengthen community bonds, and nurture a deeper connection to themselves and their Jewish identity, we help them feel seen and valued.
