You’ll have an opportunity to explore the Sydney Jewish Museum’s extensive collection of Jewish ritual objects, revealing the profound stories they tell about the Jewish people in Australia.

On this exclusive tour, Dr. Vytrhlik will guide you through a diverse selection of artefacts representing Sephardi, Mizrahi, and Ashkenazi cultures, each with its own story of how it arrived in Australia.

You’ll delve into Australian Judaica, Jewish portraiture, and Holocaust-era pieces, learning how these sacred objects are not just works of art, but also powerful carriers of visual memory, history, and identity.
