Featured Session

Grand Finale Comedy Debate - Tradition Shmadition: That Jewish Culture Needs an Extreme Makeover

Dave Bloustien

Dave Bloustien

The debate that will set the community’s course for the next millenium. Or not.
An angry planet, an empty purse… things are going from bad to verse.
Or perhaps you think it’s hand-in-glove: the glass is full, what’s not to love?
Our witty panel will set things right… and work it all out in one night.

Affirmative:
Rodney Marks – hoaxer and jokeser… corporate chameleon
Dave Bloustien – comedy writer and performer
Geoff Sirmai – half watchdog/half wit


Negative:
David Rosen – the gagging gynaecologist
Jason Elias – ‘Shmux in Tux’ and legal recruitment guru
Mystery speaker

Chairperson and MC -Shirli Kirschner – - mediation expert.
So come along and join in, ‘cos… The Great Debate’s at Limmud-Oz. Don’t miss the closing session on Monday night.

Since being advertised, Neshama Carlebach is unfortunately no longer able to make the trip. We apologise for any disappointment.
