Summary
I am a passionate member of the Jewish community with strong connections to Israel.
I am deeply concerned about the rise of antisemitism since October 7 and have made it my mission to advocate for Israel and Jews in the diaspora.
I have spent my time since October 7 advocating online as well as behind the scenes researching and collecting information.
I am keen to see this happen in a more organised and deliberate way that will ensure the most effective outcomes for a the Jewish community in Australia.
