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.
