Twenty years ago, Liberal Judaism celebrated its centenary. As a part of the celebration, there was a competition of sermons delivered by lay leaders, a display of Torah covers and Judaica and many other ways for communities to be involved.

So this, year as we celebrate our milestone 120th anniversary, we decided to continue and extend the tradition and announce a new creative competition.

Taking on the Day of Celebration’s theme of Where Liberal and Jewish Meet, it will have five prizes:

🖼️ Best photo
🎨 Best artwork
📜 Best poem
🗣️ Best sermon or D’var Torah (under and over 18)

All photographs, artworks and poems will be displayed during the Day of Celebration, which takes place at The Liberal Jewish Synagogue and online on Sunday 22 May, and judged by attendees. The winner of the competitions for sermons and Div’rei Torah will be decided by a panel of judges chaired by Rabbi Anna Posner.

There is no age limit. You can submit your works individually and/or as a group. This is an opportunity for families, individuals and community cheders to get involved. The deadline for all submissions is Sunday 15 May at 11.59pm. Winners will be announced at the Day of Celebration.

Submit your entry here.
