Maurice Klein speaks with Hallely Kimchi, about Shelanu, a new Melbourne based initiative created by a group of passionate Israelis in partnership with Etz Chaim, with the vision to build vibrant cultural spaces that serve the local community- spaces that are welcoming, creative, secular and inclusive. Located at 549 Centre Rd Bentleigh, the new hub is being developed as a home for arts, performances, learning and community activities for all ages and backgrounds. Halley tells us that the new Shelanu hub will be radiating light and that in February 2026 is bringing Israeli music icon Shalom Hanoch down under to Australia for once-in-a-lifetime concerts in Melbourne and Sydney. Tickets are available at   https://events.humanitix.com/shalom-hanoch-downunder and you can follow all the Shelanu information and progress on the Shelanu FaceBook page: Its Shelanu-Ours.
