Cultural and Spiritual Programs

Supporting Jewish festival and general observance

The Jewish Care Cultural & Spiritual Centre strives to bring Jewish values to life throughout our facilities.

The Centre coordinates and promotes information, education and participation through newsletters, weekly shiurim (lesson) workshops, staff induction and a range of events surrounding the main Jewish festivals and days of cultural significance.

Find out about our events around High Holy Days (Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and Sukkot), Chanukah, Purim, Pesach, the ‘Yoms’ (Yom Hashoah, Yom Ha’atzmaut & Yom Hazikaron), Shavuot and the Three Weeks (including Tisha B’Av).

As well as supporting and enriching the cultural and spiritual lives of Jewish Care clients, residents, families and friends, the Centre provides staff and volunteers with orientation, training and ongoing education in the field of Jewish culture and traditions to ensure the provision and delivery of services in a culturally appropriate manner.

The outcome is a deeper awareness amongst staff of the Jewish culture and traditions. This allows us to provide Jewish care that is culturally and religiously sensitive.
