Australia
The cultural heart of Australian Jewry with world-class food
Melbourne is the center of Jewish life in Australia, with a community that's proportionally one of the largest in the diaspora. The southeastern suburbs — Caulfield, St Kilda East, and Balaclava — have an extraordinary concentration of kosher restaurants, bakeries, supermarkets, and Jewish schools. Melbourne is also Australia's cultural capital, famous for coffee, street art, and one of the world's great food scenes.
