Limmud Oz Sydney to continue without Shalom or Adamama involvement
Limmud Oz Sydney will go ahead next weekend despite the cancellation of its planned collaboration with Shalom Collective and Adamama.
In an announcement to the community, organisers said the partnership had ended because the groups “could not agree on the final program”.
“While the joint event has been cancelled, Limmud Oz Sydney is still going ahead with the festival next weekend 7-8 June, and we hope you will join us to celebrate Jewish ideas and culture,” the announcement said.
The festival program will proceed without Adamama’s contribution, meaning the “Sustainable lifestyle” and “Families” streams have been cancelled.
Organisers said ticket holders would be refunded and given the chance to buy new tickets at a “new, extremely reduced price”.
Limmud Oz Sydney said it remained committed to broad Jewish participation.
“We want to say very clearly to our community that we are committed to our values of diversity, respect and participation,” the announcement said.
“The Limmud tent is wide and inclusive. We do not exclude Jews from Jewish learning and teaching. We believe that bringing together Jews of different denominations, ages, backgrounds and politics makes us stronger.”
The organisers apologised for the inconvenience and urged community members to attend the revised festival.
“We really hope you join us to show the strength of Jewish community when we come together,” the announcement said.
