Broader Jewish community in Australia this week marked 30 days since 7 October Hamas attacks with vigils and candle-lighting ceremonies
More than 100 Australian Holocaust survivors have united to denounce a wave of “senseless and virulent” antisemitism that they fear is growing in the country.
Incidents documented by the Executive Council of Australian Jewry include death threats, threats to schools and synagogues, verbal abuse, hate mail, graffiti and damage to property. There was also a rally calling for the release of Israeli hostages before candle-lighting ceremonies. Shloshim, Hebrew for 30, ends the traditional first month of mourning in Judaism and is accompanied by ceremonies and reflection.
“We’ve been grieving along with the rest of the Jewish world for the 1,400 victims who were so brutally slain in the terrorist atrocities last month.”
