The Shared Table Project

When words fail, food can speak volumes.

Newly arrived Christian refugees from Syria and Iraq share their stories of survival and make friends with Jewish women over plates of food they’ve prepared together.

The Shared Table Project is in its 6th year, a NSW Jewish Board of Deputies initiative that fosters understanding and builds bridges between diverse communities.

Includes, Sali, Dalal, and Nohad who have been in Australia about six months. Also, hear from young people of diverse backgrounds in the We Are All Sydney program run by the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies.

The Jewish festival of Shavuot is an opportunity to meet Australia’s first Senior Female Rabbi, Nicole Roberts.
