Holocaust survivor Solly Ganor, living in Herzliya, Israel wrote up a remarkable story about a Passover seder he experienced, 70 years ago.

The coming week, from 2 to 3 March, marks the Jewish festival of Purim. Purim commemorates the deliverance of the Jewish people from an evil plot to destroy them, as documented in the Book of Esther.

It was a deep honour to stand with the Jewish community for the historic, healing and deeply moving Presidential visit of H.E. Isaac Herzog to Sydney. The welcome reception was uplifting. There were songs, and psalms, and there were tears as we honoured the Bondi victims and their families.

The ICEJ Australian family bowed their heads on January 22nd in memory of 15 Australians gunned down in an Islamic terror attack at Bondi Beach. Our support for the Jewish community will stand strong always.
