MEMBERS STATEMENT

‘BRIGHTON HEBREW CONGREGATION.’

Tuesday, 27 August 2024.

Mr NEWBURY (Brighton) (12:54):

The Brighton Hebrew congregation welcomed me for Shabbat recently.

Together we spoke about the deep antisemitism that exists and the need for Western countries like Australia to stop extremists from coming to our shores.

Only hours after my visit, Hezbollah terrorists were firing hundreds of rockets into Israel.

Thank you to rabbi Alex Tsykin and President David Wittenberg for your leadership of the shul.
