Hamerkaz Shelanu Inc (AU, 12131835338) Browse events

Hamerkaz Shelanu Inc is a non-profit Jewish educational and community organization, that works in partnership with our Lamdeni Hebrew after-school program. Hamerkaz Shelanu is committed to providing ongoing excellent educational and youth programs and strives to assist young adults, families and the welfare of our community. Hamerkaz Shelanu was established in 1998, under the guidance of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, to fill a void in Victoria’s Israeli and Jewish community. Our vision is to create a deeper sense of identity, community and belonging for families, with a particular focus on the youth. Hamerkaz Shelanu is filled with a Jewish soul and an Israeli spirit. At Hamerkaz Shelanu, people of all walks of life and degrees of observance are welcome to turn to at any time - to celebrate, to learn, to socialise, to connect. For some it’s a social centre, to others an amazing holiday program and teen camp. For some it’s the “Israeli shule” or cultural library, to others their child’s Hebrew school (Lamdeni). For some it’s a memorable Bat-Mitzvah program and adult education centre, to others a place to celebrate a chag (festival) together. But, above all, for the hundreds of families entering its doors every week, it’s a home... Or in the words of a family who both tragically lost a child and celebrated a bar mitzvah with Hamerkaz Shelanu within the same year: “It is a support in time of need and a fountain in times of joy”. Hamerkaz Shelanu is dedicated to Jewish unity and continuity and to the welfare of the community. Our facilities are no longer adequate for our growing educational and community needs. We have secured a property and obtained the necessary building permits. Your contribution now, to the Building Fund, is vital to turn this dream into a reality. All donations are fully Tax Deductible. Dedication opportunities are also available. Thank you for your support. Visit us at

Melaleuca Refugee Centre is a community–controlled, not–for–profit association operating out of Darwin. The association was first established in 1996 to cater for refugees and asylum seekers wanting to settle in the Northern Territory. In 2002 it expanded and now provides an environment for resettlement and healing of refugee survivors of torture and trauma, their families and community through confidential, high-quality and holistic services. Every year Melaleuca, in conjunction with the Refugee Council of Australia organises a World Refugee Day Festival for World Refugee Week. This year the event will be held on the 14th of June. The event aims to highlight the importance of refugee issues and celebrate the resilience, talents and achievements of people with refugee background in the Northern Territory. World Refugee Day is a chance to draw attention to refugee issues, to promote respect towards the refugee population, and most of all to celebrate the many amazing contributions that the refugee community make to Australian society. World Refugee Day showcases and celebrates some of these contributions, through incredible performances, inspiring workshops, crafts, food and a multicultural soccer competition. The event is a key activity in building relationships between people form refugee background and the broader community and promoting respect and understanding.  Each year the event relies on external funds to make the day a success. These funds go toward paying performers, running workshops, coordinating food and stalls, equipment, promotion and marketing. Through GoFundraise we hope to raise $15,000. We would be grateful for any contribution large or small to go toward making this important event a success. All donations made over $2 are tax deductable.
