When

Every day, 7am to 10pm Friday 10 October to Wednesday 5 November

The Sydney Jewish Writers Festival invites you to experience the Jewish Poetry Project, an immersive, month-long outdoor exhibition of Jewish poetry under the theme The Door is Always Open. Wander around our five poetry installations and share space, ideas, and stories.

Explore Jewish poetry spanning centuries and continents, from ancient psalms to contemporary lyrics and haiku. Each poem reflects universal themes of love, grief, friendship, migration, and the moments that shape us all.

Pause, interact, and contribute: Hear poems come alive via QR codes; create your own verses on magnetic-word walls; and take a photo and share your favourite poem.

This is a space for everyone. Wander, reflect, and make your mark. The door is always open.

  • October 10 – November 5, 2025 

  • Bondi Pavilion Courtyard | 7am – 10pm | free (unticketed event) 

  • Coinciding with Sculpture by the Sea and the Jewish harvest festival of Sukkot.
