If Jesus was not Jewish, He would also be disqualified from being the Messiah, as foretold in the Hebrew scriptures. Thankfully, the New Testament firmly establishes Jesus’ Jewish heritage, detailing His descent from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and presenting Him as the promised son of David
It was a privilege for me to attend a joint event hosted by the Embassy of the State of Israel and the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany. A commemorative plaque was unveiled, celebrating William Cooper’s remarkable courage to protest against the vile atrocities of Kristallnacht.
Although life is fragile and the war is still going on, families cannot live in a state of flux forever. They need stability, for their children to return to school, for work to recommence and life to return to some sort of normality. The resilient and determined families of Kibbutz Be’eri and neighbouring villages are inspiring even greater commitment for us to partner with them in the rebuilding.
We are living in a time where we need to choose if, like William Cooper, we will stand against the oppressor. We hear of attacks on Jews that range from hateful slurs to violence, and Australia is shamefully not immune.
Jews and others have been reenacting William Cooper’s Walk for years, holding events on 6 December. That is why, this year, 2024, on 6 December in Melbourne, Christians and others are gathering to hold an event in his honour William Cooper and to call the silent majority, particularly Christians, to stand up and be counted and call for social cohesion not the hatred of Jews we have seen on our streets and universities This time, it is the turn of Christians to turn out.
Aliyah (a Hebrew word meaning “go up”) has come to mean the return of the Jews to the Land of Israel, their ancestral homeland.
The Jews are a remarkable people. Consider, for instance, that they are the only people who have been violently uprooted from their homeland not once but twice, only to return to that land each time to re-establish their national sovereignty.
Traditionally, the summer months are a peak season for Aliyah, as Jewish families relocate before the Israeli school year starts on September 1. This year, however, there is a heightened urgency due to the global surge in antisemitism. Remarkably, many are choosing to make Aliyah not despite the current conflict, but because of it, as they are driven by a desire to contribute to Israel’s needs during these trying times.
For many Christians, Abraham is just one of many great men of God in the Bible. However, God’s word gives Abraham unique characteristics that no other person besides Jesus ever attained. It can be said that when Abraham appeared, salvation history began.
The world has witnessed an unprecedented surge of antisemitism and hostility towards Israel since the tragic events of October 7, 2023. The disproportionate focus on Israel often appears irrational, with no equivalent focus on other conflicts or territorial disputes. Why does this tiny sliver of land provoke such chaos worldwide?
The Jewish Agency for Israel had initially expected around 20 students, but by the end of the month, thanks to the second ICEJ-sponsored flight under the Naale program, the total number of new arrivals reached more than double the expected number, with 18 from Ukraine and 5 from Moldova.
A father and his three year old son were seriously injured in a shooting attack on their car. The wounds healed but the trauma for the little boy remained. Along with others in the community, the father developed the Therapy Centre including horseback riding to help his son and other children affected by terror attacks.
