Joining Kedem means belonging to community, exploring Judaism and enjoying musical services together. People join for all types of reasons. Some have been looking for a small Jewish community for a while. Some because they want to pray and celebrate but not in a traditional synagogue. Others want their kids to grow up familiar with a Judaism which is relaxed and contemporary. Most say they stay for the warmth, the friendships, the singing and the food.
The benefits of joining Kedem are
Being part of a community
Tickets for High Holyday services
Year round festivals and events
Learning and educational opportunities
Social activities
One of the unique things about Kedem is that no-one is turned away based on ability to pay.
Kedem is proud to be a member of Progressive Judaism Victoria (PJV) and the Union for Progressive Judaism (UPJ).
