Embracing the unique journey of every individual.
An introduction to who we are and why we’re here.
70–75% of Jews in New South Wales don’t belong to a synagogue.
Many have never felt at home in traditional Jewish spaces.
In a world where antisemitism is rising, the answer is not to shrink back but to rise up, connect, and reclaim our Jewish identity with pride.
Rabbi On Demand was born to meet people where they are – literally and spiritually. We believe Jewish life should be accessible, meaningful, and deeply personal. Whether it’s a baby naming, a Shabbat dinner, a Zoom learning session, or simply a question you’ve always wanted to ask a rabbi, we’re here for you – on your terms.
Post-October 7, our mission feels even more urgent. The world is changing. Our response is to strengthen identity, build community, and stand together with courage and connection. Join us. Rediscover your Jewish self.
Because Judaism isn’t just for the synagogue – it’s for you – wherever you are.
“I believe Judaism is G-d’s infinite wisdom — which means it must be able to speak to every life, in every place, at every time.”
Becoming a Rabbi wasn’t always my plan, in fact, my grandmother was adamant that it wasn’t a job for a good Jewish boy, especially not her grandson! But from a young age, my love for Judaism was undeniable. At just 6 years old, I was the leading child soloist at Sydney’s South Head Synagogue during the High Holidays. Over the years, I began to lead both youth and adult services over Shabbat and the High Holidays, and in my late teens, I was hired as Ba’al Koreh (weekly Torah reader) at the Central Synagogue.
Kabbalat Shabbat in Centennial Park, 27 October: I was blown away. Never, ever experienced something so uplifting and moving’ including two guided meditations; we were elevated to a level that defies description. Thank you Rabbi On Demand.
Beyond life events, Rabbi On Demand offers advice and support, and is an excellent educator and will go the extra mile. If you’re seeking a Rabbi for an occasion, advice or assistance, I highly recommend Rabbi Yossi and I plan to continue using him for future events and celebrations.
Rabbi Yossi provided a warm and open environment for us to learn and prepare for our wedding and on the day helped to make it so special for us. Not to mention his wonderful voice.
