Limmud Oz is returning to Melbourne in June 2025

In 2020 and 2021 we learned the importance of real human interaction and community. In 2022 we reconnected in person at a smaller but ever inspiring event and over the last two years we have dabbled in smaller pockets of Limmud speakers presenting over the calendar year. Much has shifted since the last Limmud event in Melbourne, and the drive for Jewish learning and conversation is ever relevant, so we’re over the moon to confirm that Limmud Oz is back for 2025, in Melbourne! Limmud will be taking place on the King’s Birthday Weekend 7 -9 June. There you can laugh and learn with some of the best performers and educators Australia and the world has to offer, in the same room as them! Jewish thought leaders from around the world will also be joining us in person once again*.

*While we are hopeful that a Zoom stream will be available, this is not yet confirmed. If and when this becomes a possibility, we will let you know.

What lies in between

Limmud Oz is excited to share with you an online exhibition created and curated by emerging Jewish Australian artists.

What lies In Between is a collaborative, virtual project between 6 Australian artists. A project like never before, based on circumstance and chance. Tunni is currently based in Tel Aviv, Tal is from Perth, Yossi from Sydney, and Ike, Ariella and Tamar from Melbourne. Together we placed large emphasis on virtual process. Through online zoom meetings, emails, whatsapp messages, instagram messages, and phone calls, this process began the unfolding of the potential of what this project could really mean. What lies in between the inception of the project and the final outcome, we think, is the most important part of this project.

The artist's embarked on a month long journey, forwarding images of our work to each other, giving permission to hijack, chop, add, subtract, invert each others work, to allow the explosion of new work. We are trusting the process, and very interesting things are unfolding....We began to ask questions of what is this space we are creating? what is the space which lies in between all of us? What is tying and holding us all together? Stay tuned, we look forward to sharing this project we have been brewing.

Curator & artist: Tamar Chaya Gordon
Contributing artists: Tunni Kraus, Ariella Blum, Tal Levine, Yossi Seban, Ike Curtis
