collaborate

We are excited to engage in ongoing collaborations with individuals and organisations. Through these collaborations, we can further develop and support meaningful, personal and accessible religious education, spiritual engagement and communal involvement. If you would like to speak to us about an ongoing collaboration, please email frontdoor@shtiebel.org.au

The Chai Collective, founded by Sarah, Adrian, and Tammy—directors of the acclaimed August 2023 production of Fiddler on the Roof at The Alex Theatre—was created to breathe life into Jewish stories through the arts. Our passion for authentic storytelling, combined with the positive response from our community, led to the formation of this vibrant collective.

In collaboration with Shtiebel, we are thrilled to present Live @ Shtiebel. This initiative aims to showcase talented artists, fostering soulful experiences and meaningful connections within our community. If you’re interested in performing, please visit Live @ Shtiebel Artists to learn more and complete our Expression of Interest form.

Welcome to The Chai Collective, where we bring Jewish stories to life.

Founded by Rabbi Shneur Reti Waks and the team at Rabbi Without Borders, Neshama was created to engage deeply with Jewish life.

At Neshama, we promote an environment where everyone can celebrate, learn, pray, and sing with soul. “Neshama” means soul, reflecting our focus on the essence of community and spirituality over formalities.

At Neshama, they bridge this gap by focusing on what unites us: a shared commitment to a Jewish life that is personal, communal, meaningful, and spiritually fulfilling, in harmony with modern values.

Shtiebel assists Neshama with marketing and administration, as well as providing space for regular classes and monthly services.

We will run various collections and drives through our education and community engagement programs.
