jewish journeys 18-week group class
We welcome all who are curious about Jewish life and their Jewish identity to create their own unique Jewish Journey with us to better understand themselves and to build deeper connections to community and tradition.
Your Jewish Journey
At Shtiebel, we believe in helping people “do Jewish” and “be Jewish” in their own way, at their own pace. With no boundaries on Jewish expression, living, or ritual, we offer a supportive and inclusive community where everyone can explore their identity, beliefs, and practices without judgment or pressure.
We are investing in the Jewish future by creating innovative and engaging ways for people to connect with Judaism. For us, Judaism is an evolving tradition—sustained by study, enriched by lived experience, and strengthened through community. Whether you’re reconnecting with heritage, exploring Judaism for the first time, or preparing for conversion, Shtiebel provides a space where learning, spiritual growth, and belonging flourish together.
Through our partnership with the Miller Introduction to Judaism Program, we bring world-class Jewish education to Australia, tailored to the unique needs of our diverse community. As the only Australasian affiliate of the American Jewish University’s renowned program, Shtiebel’s Jewish Journeys program blends tradition with fresh perspectives, guiding you on a path of rigorous study, personal reflection, and meaningful engagement.
Whether you’re taking your first steps into Jewish life or deepening an existing connection, Shtiebel is a home for seekers—those who are curious, those ready for the next step, and those who simply want to learn in a welcoming and dynamic environment.
✨ Join us and discover your own Jewish journey at Shtiebel.
