A BIT ABOUT US
Who We Are
Founded in 1950 in Melbourne, SKIF is a Jewish youth group for children aged 8-18. We run three camps a year for our participants as well as weekly Sunday activities, learning about important
current events and different aspects of their Jewish
identity including Yiddish language and culture.
Chavershaft
Traditionally translating to friendship, Chavershaft essentially translates to our belief in democratic socialism and upholding social justice
Yiddishkayt
The celebration of the Yiddish language and culture, extending to a love of Jewish life, holidays and learning.
Doikayt
‘Doikayt’ upholds the ability and rights of Jewish people to build strong communities wherever in the world they live.
