The hor­rif­ic attack on the Adass Israel Syn­a­gogue was an attack on the very heart of the Jew­ish com­mu­ni­ty and on our Aus­tralian way of life.

We can’t let that un-Aus­tralian hate destroy the coun­try we love. We have to stand with the Adass com­mu­ni­ty and help them to rebuild, and rebuild even stronger.

The day of the attack, ECAJ Pres­i­dent Daniel Aghion KC and Jew­ish Com­mu­ni­ty Coun­cil of Vic­to­ria CEO Nao­mi Levin spent the day of the attack in Rip­pon­lea sup­port­ing the Adass com­mu­ni­ty. 

It was an emo­tion­al expe­ri­ence speak­ing with sur­vivors of the attack, watch­ing Torah scrolls being res­cued from the ruins, and liais­ing with first respon­ders. 

On Sun­day they gath­ered near­by with thou­sands of sup­port­ers from the wider Aus­tralian pub­lic to ral­ly in sup­port with the Adass com­mu­ni­ty.

The love and sup­port of the Aus­tralian pub­lic was over­whelm­ing and it spoke with one voice which appeared on many plac­ards: “we choose uni­ty!”.

Now is the time for us to unite with the Adass com­mu­ni­ty and help them rebuild. 

The syn­a­gogue was insured but insur­ance can’t cov­er every­thing. More impor­tant­ly, we need to help them not just rebuild but rebuild even stronger.

Please join us in act­ing quick­ly to sup­port Adass’s Rebuild Adass cam­paign now.
