Shalom’s Sydney Jewish Writers Festival returns 21-25 August at the Bondi Pavilion. This year, we’re going back to the beginning, to our origin stories, to our matriarchs and patriarchs, to our first text – Genesis. Join us for a fantastic line up of writers, journalists, thinkers, creatives and artists for a weekend of books and conversation.

From Wednesday 21 August to Sunday 25 August, the Sydney Jewish Writers Festival will host an array of emerging and established presenters. Featuring more than 25 Australian-based speakers along with prominent international writers across 26 live in-person events. These great minds will gather to discuss, dissect and explore this year’s Festival theme, Genesis.

The Festival concludes on Sunday night with the announcement of the winners of the inaugural Shalom Australian Jewish Book Awards.
