ОписаниеColour photograph of Rebbitzen Laya Slavin baking Challah in Our Big Kitchen (OBK), Bondi, 2013. Photographer: D-Mo Zajac. Challah is braided bread eaten on the Sabbath and other Holy Days.
Our Big Kitchen was founded by Rabbi Doctor Dovid Slavin and Laya Slavin in February 2005. OBK is a community run, non-denominational, kosher and Halal certified kitchen at the Yeshiva Centre in Bondi that has been turned into an industrial kitchen to benefit the community, distributing over 80,000 meals to disadvantaged Australians. Meals are distributed to many shelters across NSW, such as the Salavation Army, St Vincent’s De Paul, Rough Edges, Youth off the streets, Wayside Chapel and Jewish House.
D-Mo Zajac’s photographs of the Sydney Jewish community are a reflection of who she is. Having been being raised as a Protestant Christian in Poland, she was 32 years old when her mother revealed to her the secret of her grandmother’s Jewish heritage. Inspired by her discovery of her Jewish ancestry, in 2010, D-Mo set out to document the religious life of Sydney’s Orthodox community, capturing private and communal moments. Her work aims to capture her personal journey of self-discovery and budding sense of belonging through her engagement with the community.
