02.02.2022 An utter disgrace that this man has escaped just punishment

25.01.2022 The Israel-obsessed UN Human Rights Council has received a membership nomination from China. The world knows China is abusing the human rights of its Muslim minorities, including the Uyghurs. Yet the UN Human Rights Council focusses on Israel as the main target of its criticism.

25.01.2022 Australian Facebook users who search for Holocaust-related terms on the social media site will now be directed to a website presenting Holocaust facts. Advocat...es have been calling for social media platforms to provide educational material to their billions of users, including Israeli MK Michal Cotler-Wunsh, who addressed this very issue with AIJAC Live Online in October, you can watch it here https://www.youtube.com/watch Facebook vice president Guy Rosen said "We want to help our community learn about the events that led to the Holocaust and the genocide of one-third of the Jewish people." The website has been jointly developed by the World Jewish Congress and UNESCO.

25.01.2022 The last 24 hours in Israel:

25.01.2022 We're going to be using the next few Thursdays to delve deeper into the week's Torah portion. Thank you to Rabbi Chaim Weiner for kicking us off with these words on Parashat Toldot. Does Rabbi Chaim's interpretation make you think of the parasha in a different way?

24.01.2022 Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg: I would say my Jewishnessmy heritage as a Jew, coming from the People of the Book, and from my parents, was to love learning. The other main theme is captured by the statement from Deuteronomy: Tzedek, Tzedek, Tirdof (‘Justice, Justice, Thou Shalt Pursue’) I have portrayals of that message in lithographs, in glass sculpture, the words are all over my chambers. The notion, ‘Justice, Justice, Thou Shalt Pursue,’well, that is my workto pursue justice. We have laws and many of them require interpretation because Congress is not always as clear as one might hope itwould be. A jurist has principles that guide her in interpreting text. One of them is that the law is designed to govern, should be designed to govern, a just and humane society.

21.01.2022 Wir, die Überlebenden, sind nicht die wahren Zeugen. Die wahren Zeugen, die im Besitz der unaussprechlichen Wahrheit sind, sind die Untergegangenen, die Toten, die Verschwundenen. - Primo Levi #HolocaustMemorialDay

18.01.2022 Find the differences between these paintings - Yes, Yes. You are not hallucinating. The "Mikhlol" website, which defines itself as the Jewish encyclopedia, has ...deleted the women from the famous painting by the painter Maurycy Gottlieb. Unfortunately, we have become accustomed to seeing the faces of female public officials deleted and posters with women's faces being vandalized outdoors, but we didn't see this one coming. Taking such a famous paintings and corrupting it by erasing the pious women praying in the synagogue... that's a new low and a scandal, which is impossible to accept. The distance from here to known cases of vandalizes done to works of art and culture in the name of extremist religious beliefs is not so far away.

17.01.2022 Why am I dropping everything to fly to Israel this Sunday with 20 NY Rabbis? We are going to see the kind of bridgebuilding work that has forged the fragile all...iances which are the only true hope for Israel to live in peace with its Arab Israeli neighbors and the Palestinian people. We are going because when so much of the world is turning against Israel, this is an opportunity to say, The Jewish community of New York is still in this with you. We are going because Israel is Family. And when your family is attacked, suffering and feeling alone, you show up. You can join me by following my trip on Instagram (@rabbibuchdahl) or here on my Facebook page. I look forward to sharing what I see with all of you. Shabbat Shalom.

11.01.2022 Watch this and look out for Rabbi Rafael Kaiserblueth!

11.01.2022 Tzedek, tzedek tirdof / Justice, justice thou shalt pursue. We join the world as it mourns the passing, on Erev Rosh Hashanah, of Asso...ciate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States and trailblazer for equality and justice, Ruth Bader Ginsburg. According to Jewish tradition, a person who dies on Rosh Hashanah is a tzadikah, a person of great righteousness. RBG was certainly that. And of course, "tzadikah" is derived from the root word of "tzedek", which means justice. It is believed RBG had this Hebrew text from the Torah hanging on the wall of her chambers: "Tzedek, tzedek tirdof justice, justice you shall pursue. She said, The demand for justice runs through the entirety of Jewish history and Jewish tradition. We pledge to not just remember her legacy but to always strive to do better in creating a more just society. May Ruth Bader Ginsburg's memory be forever blessed.

09.01.2022 A strong defence of Israel from Senator Kimberley Kitching at a UN Roundtable Prominent Labor Senator Kimberley Kitching gave the Keynote Address to a Unit...ed Nations Roundtable on implementing standards and norms for peace and security as they look forward to the UN’s 100th anniversary in 2045. She noted that the only country which is regularly condemned by the UN Human Rights Council is Israel, which is the only country subject to a standing Agenda item. She said, Israel is the only country in the Middle East with free elections, free media, free trade unions, free civil society, freedom for all religions, and freedom for women and for LGBTI people. Yet it is regularly condemned by a council dominated by counties which have none of these things. Senator Kitching’s strong leadership on these issues is long-standing. We are so pleased they are being noted internationally too. You can watch her entire speech here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3OvKWlOd30 (The part about Israel starts at around 15 minutes)

07.01.2022 Join us online for the soulful service of Selichot: music, poetry and prayer. This year we are bringing together musicians and clergy from across Australia to present a beautiful programme as we enter fully into the High Holy Day Season.

07.01.2022 From Israel Defense Forces : As non-stop barrages of rockets continue to be fired toward southern Israel, an apartment building in Ashkelon was hit. 6 civilians... were injured. Waking up to terror should NOT be a daily reality. An IDF Spokesperson has also confirmed that one third of all rockets fired by Palestinian terrorists groups from Gaza fell short and landed in Gaza, causing casualties.

06.01.2022 We welcome the news that Jonathan Pollard has been released from parole and is finally a free man, allowed to travel as he pleases.

05.01.2022 Today, Jewish communities across three cities in Australia came together and stood in solidarity with Israel. ZFA President Jeremy Leibler attended the Melb...ourne rally, and had the following to say: The Australian Jewish community with support from representatives of the Government and Opposition came together today, he said. We came from the left and right, from religious and secular backgrounds to declare one simple message: Israel has a right to live in peace and a right to defend itself when attacked. Mr Leibler welcomed the cessation of violence. We mourn the loss of innocent life, he said, and we were deeply relieved when the ceasefire began. The people of Israel and, indeed, the members of the Australian Jewish community desire peace between Israel and its neighbours. We call on the international community to ensure that Hamas is not able to rebuild its capacity to attack Israel. It is a sad indictment that in 2021 we have seen a dramatic increase in antisemitism - blatant hatred of Jews and equally as sinister, anti-Semitism hidden under the guise of anti-Zionism. From London to New York to here in Australia, it is completely unacceptable that the Jewish community’s ability to express support for Israel and call for peace is a security risk requiring significant protection from police and private security

04.01.2022 America must stand with Israel as our ally defends its citizens from Palestinian terror.

07.10.2021 We at Masorti Olami and MERCAZ Olami are deeply saddened by the passing of Miriam Naor zl, former President of the Supreme Court of Israel and cornerstone of t...he legal system for decades, who passed away on Sunday evening. Naor was born in Jerusalem in 1947, and received her law degree from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. In 1980 she was appointed as a judge on the Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court, at age 33, and in 1988 she became a judge in the Jerusalem District Court. During her 14-tenure on the Supreme Court, Naor oversaw some of the most significant cases in Israel’s history, including striking down legislation that sought to delay drafting ultra-Orthodox Jews into the army; barring the state from deporting African migrants against their will; allowing mini-markets in Tel Aviv to operate on Shabbat; and forcing the government to recognize private conversions to Judaism for the sake of citizenship. Since October 2018, she served as the President of the Zionist Supreme Court of the World Zionist Organization. In this position, Naor encouraged all Zionist Federations to conduct elections and celebrate this democratic principle, promising a fair representation to all groups in the Zionist federation. We send condolences to the entire Naor family. May her memory be for a blessing. . Photo From Mark Neyman, The Government Press Office.

15.09.2021 Did you know that the Ukrainian language now has two specific words for a female rabbi? Thanks to the work of Проект Кешер в Укран, who wrote a letter to l...eading Ukrainian language experts, there are now two new words for a female rabbi, these being rabynka and rabynesa.
