About Shabbat Schmooze - Celebration of Israel

Join us for an INCREDIBLE Israeli feast!

We're back at YJP H/Q and celebrating the holiest land of all with a tribute-themed dinner.

From falafels, shawarma, dips, and salads to Moroccan fish - this is a Friday night feast you don't want to miss!

Featuring TWO inspiring presentations from local faces who have traveled across the shores to settle in Melbourne as Shalliachs for Israeli organizations. Our presenters are here on the ground spreading the good word and accomplishments of what global communities are helping achieve on the land of milk and honey.
