Thomas Mayor in conversation with Rabbi Jeffrey Kamins

Sunday March 3rd from 5:00pm-6:30pm

The historic constitutional moment created by the Uluru Statement from the Heart

The Uluru Statement came as a result of an unprecedented gathering of Indigenous leaders and held out an invitation to non-indigenous Australians to join with them in a process of truth-telling and political attentiveness.

What was the statement all about and what are the implications for Australia?

Thomas Mayor is a Zenadth Kes (Torres Strait Islander) man born and living on Larrakia country (Darwin). Thomas was a delegate at the Convention and is now touring the country as the current custodian of the Uluru Statement, talking about its significance to regional and metropolitan communities.

Join us for this important event.

Proceeds after costs will be donated to Australian Indigenous charities.

Members: free Non-members: $25 Under 18s: free

Light refreshments will be served

Join us on the 2nd of March for a new monthly Shabbat morning gathering, Shabbat In the Circle.

We will begin at 9:30am with the study of Hassidic and other mystical texts then discuss how we can apply them in our daily lives.

This will be followed at 10:15am by a collaborative musical gathering based on the Shabbat morning service incorporating melodies, poems and dance to enhance our Shabbat.

We will also explore the intersection of Jewish and other sacred spiritual techniques to see how we can enrich our connection to the divine and to one another. Joining Cantor George Mordecai will be a talented group of musicians, storytellers and others including Jutka Freiman, Donna Jacobs-Sife, Ben Zion Weiss, Kathy Baykitch and Emanuel Lieberfreund.
