Ten years ago, Gabe discovered a family secret: his family was Jewish.

For years he searched for what that meant, but he was too scared to walk into a Jewish community. What if he wasn't accepted? What if he didn't belong?

Eventually he came to Nefesh.

Today, it's his home.

This is why our Giving Day theme is **"Be Their Way In."**

Because there are people like Gabe all around us, looking for connection, community and belonging.

Help us keep the door open:

Every week, people arrive at Nefesh searching for connection, identity, friendship, meaning, or simply somewhere they feel understood.

Why has one tiny people had such a massive impact on the world?

And what actually is a Jew — a religion, a nation, a family, or something else entirely?

The first class of our new series, What It Means to Be Jewish, is now available to listen to.

You know you’re Jewish—but what does that actually mean?

Rabbi Moss is running a 5-week series exploring the big ideas behind Jewish identity, belief, and purpose. No background needed, no assumptions, just honest, thoughtful conversations.

If you’ve ever been curious but never really had the chance to explore, this is a great place to start with a rabbi who has been there.

Starts May 5.

We are still feeling uplifted and inspired after Sunday’s incredible Hachnasat Sefer Torah, as we welcomed two new Sifrei Torah to their home at Nefesh.

What a day it was! The streets of Bondi were filled with singing, dancing, and pure Jewish pride as young and old paraded the Torahs with joy and unity. The energy was electric, the smiles were endless, and the sense of community was truly something special. 💙✨

And the inspiration continues…

We would be honoured to have you join us this Shabbos, 28 February, for one of the most powerful Torah readings of the year.

Parshas Zachor is a once-a-year mitzvah — a Biblical obligation for men, women, and children alike. Just a few verses, yet carrying an eternal reminder: we are resilient, we endure, and with Hashem’s help, we overcome.

This year will be especially meaningful.

For the very first time, we will read from one of our brand-new Sifrei Torah.
A new scroll.
Ancient words.
The same eternal message.

Come be part of this historic and heartfelt moment for our community.

Shabbat Shalom and we can’t wait to see you there. ✡️
