Since 2009, the Purim Spiel has become an eagerly anticipated annual theatrical and social experience for the Melbourne Jewish Community. It is entirely organised and executed by dozens of volunteers who dedicate many hundreds of hours as cast, orchestra and crew. We encourage a culture of creativity and inclusiveness. Our original live musical comedy show puts a modern spin on traditional Yiddish humour that has audiences plutzing. All proceeds go to Emunah.
Emunah is one of Israel’s leading social services organisations, supporting over 10,000 children and families every day through a nationwide network of day care centres, schools, residential children’s homes, and family counselling and therapy centres.
For more than 90 years, Emunah has worked at the heart of Israeli society, caring for the most vulnerable and strengthening families, communities, and Israel’s future.
While the immediate emergency phase of the war has passed, many children and families continue to live with its long-term emotional and social impact. Emunah remains focused on recovery, providing stability, care, and therapeutic support to help rebuild lives with resilience and dignity.
Support us through donations or advertising in our souvenir program. We couldn't do this without our amazing partners.
