This summary of the forum was written by Romy Prins.

The joy of Simchat Torah – Dr Michal Kaufman

The Mizrachi Midrasha in Melbourne

The Midrasha in Melbourne, which is part of the Kollel Mitzion, is a hub of Jewish learning

for women all of ages. The Midrasha is an ideal place for women to come and learn to

achieve spiritual and intellectual growth. The Midrasha offers a variety of dedicated shiurim,

chervrutot and talks and symposiums.

The joy of giving – Tracie Olcha

The Australian Jewish Funders

The Australian Jewish Funders (AJF) is a network of mindful funders who believe that

greater impact can be achieved collectively. Driven by Jewish values, the AJF aims to provide

a space to enhance and nurture strategic philanthropy, explore philanthropic best practice

dreamers and idealists from across Australia for three jam-packed days of networking,

skilling-up, professional development and inspiration. LaunchPadders (those who are alum

of a retreat) become part of The LaunchPad Network, and have access to annual Dave

Grants, use of the LaunchPad Hub, International grants and professional development

opportunities.

The Giving Forum

A Giving Circle is a newer model of philanthropy where donors pool their funds and

collectively decide where to donate it, therefore increasing the impact of their donation.

Participants go through a range of processes and meet throughout the year to search for,

evaluate and then support projects that align with the group’s values.

The Shusterman Fellowship

The Schusterman Fellowship is a leadership development program for individuals who are

committed to growing their capacity to exercise leadership in the Jewish community. The

Fellowship engages highly motivated candidates who see Jewish organisational leadership

as an important way to create transformational change in the world. Fellows deeply explore

themselves and their leadership and are active players in a collaborative learning

community, both contributing and receiving challenge and support.

other women with skills to represent the plight of women to supporting Agunot (chained

remarkable women in the Melbourne Jewish community and beyond. Featuring over

forums. A She'ela Festival ticket gives you access to all sessions and complimentary

dinner, although it is not essential to stay the whole day to reap the benefits.

Aharon Adler

Exhausted by single life at 32, spirited bride-to-be Michal (Noa Koler) is eager for the comfort and companionship of marriage. When her fiancé dumps her one month before their wedding she is devastated but undeterred, and decides to keep her wedding date, leaving it to fate – and God – to provide a suitable Mr Right.

Trailblazing writer-director Rama Burshtein (Fill the Void) returns to the cloistered Orthodox community she knows intimately with this funny and poignant screwball romantic comedy. When it comes to finding love, it’s equal parts luck, determination, and blind faith.

Winner Best Screenplay and Best Actress (Noa Kolar) at the 2016 Ophir Awards (Israeli Oscars), and a US box office hit, The Wedding Plan premiered at the 2016 Venice Film Festival.
