The B'nai B'rith Parents Home (Vic) Inc owns 16 one bedroom flats and 2 two bedroom flats in Inkerman Rd, Caulfield built in the 1960s. The flats are managed as affordable independent living accommodation for older Jewish people with an onsite resident Caretaker. The Home is run by a hardworking and very capable committee of volunteers, predominantly B'nai B'rith members. Residents are charged a reasonable ingoing fee and a small monthly maintenance fee. Whilst flats do not become available often, the Committee maintains a register of expressions in interest.

Please be sure to read the Entrant Information booklet to review the guidelines for entries. B’nai B’rith Showcase provides a wonderful opportunity for young Jewish musicians to demonstrate their musical skills in a supportive and constructive atmosphere. Not only do Entrants receive feedback from highly accomplished adjudicators but they also gain valuable performance experience. Now in its 30th year, Showcase is a highlight in the Victorian calendar of young Jewish Musicians and is open to solo musicians aged 8 – 25 across all instruments. We are excited to open Showcase to interstate Entrants as part of the 30th Anniversary. Over the last 2 years the competition, like everything else, adapted to the challenges it faced and as such has the technology and processes in place to accommodate interstate entries. Solo Instrument Sections: Strings: Classical Piano: Classical Piano: Contemporary Woodwind and Brass Guitar Percussion Solo Vocal Sections: Vocal: Classical Vocal: Contemporary Vocal: Hebrew and Yiddish It is recommended that Entrants have completed Grade 3 AMEB or its equivalent. Own Composition The ‘own composition’ section is intended to provide the opportunity for young composers / songwriters of all levels to have their original and unpublished works heard by professional, adjudicators and experienced writers Amy Howden and Pablo Cravzov. Winning entries will be offered to publish their work more widely. Submissions will be judged on creativity, originality, melody, arrangement, lyrics (if any), overall likeability and performance. All genres of music are accepted in this category. Entering this Section does not exclude you from entering other Sections as well.
