SJWF 2022
Welcome back to the Sydney Jewish Writers Festival (SJWF) – in person! For the past two years, we have connected over Zoom, and the time has now come for us to gather in the same room and indulge in a day of reading, writing and discussions. This year, on 19 & 20 June at Double Bay Library, our Festival will celebrate works of fiction and nonfiction by Australian authors.
