​SAJBD stands in solidarity with the Jewish community in Melbourne

We stand in solidarity with the Jewish community in Melbourne following the deplorable arson attack on the Adass Israel synagogue.

Such acts of hatred and intimidation against Jewish communities, whether in Australia or globally, are utterly reprehensible and must be condemned in the strongest terms.

We call on authorities to take swift and decisive action to bring those responsible to justice. Our thoughts and prayers are with the injured worshiper as well as the entire Australian Jewish community as they face this harrowing incident.
