Download or read book The Jews in Australia written by Suzanne D. Rutland and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-01-23 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jews form only a tiny proportion of the Australian population, yet they have made outstanding contributions and have influenced Australian society immeasurably. Stories such as that of Sir John Monash, Australian commander-in-chief during World War I, whose legacy continues through Monash University, show how Jews have reached the highest echelons of Australian society. The Jews in Australia explores what makes the Australian Jewish community different from other Jewish communities around the world. It traces the community's history from its convict origins in 1788 through to today's vibrant Jewish culture in Australia, and highlights the social and cultural impact the Jews have had on Australia. As well as looking at the emergence of a specific faith tradition in Australia, the book also explores how Jews, as Australia's first ethnic group, have integrated into multicultural Australia.

Download or read book Yizkor For Rose written by Alix Pumphery and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-06-04 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australian Jews, or Jewish Australians, (Hebrew: יהודים אוסטרלים, romanized: Yehudim Australia) are Jews who are Australian citizens or permanent residents of Australia. There were 91,022 Australians who identified as Jewish in the 2016 census, [2] which is a 6% decrease on 97,355 Jewish Australians in the 2011 census. The actual number is almost certainly higher, because an answer to the question on the census was optional and because Holocaust survivors, Haredi Jews, or many non-practicing Jews are believed to prefer not to disclose religion in the census. By comparison, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz estimated a Jewish-Australian population of 120,000-150,000[3] (not limited to adherents of Judaism), while other estimates based on the death rate in the community estimate the size of the community as 250,000.[citation needed] Based on the census data, Jewish citizens make up about 0.4% of the Australian population. This book is a memorial to a working-class Australian-Jewish woman, my Great Grandmother Rose Pearlman. It takes the reader on a voyage from London's Spitalfields to Jewish life in Australia in Melbourne, the gold-mining town of Ballarat and the seaside suburb of St Kilda in the late nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth century. The book is pieced together from found fragments and the memories of Rose's youngest son who was approaching 100-years-of-age at the time of writing this book. Rose's life alerts us to the once robust Jewish community in Ballarat as well as the vibrant Jewish streets of St Kilda before and during World war II. Rose also tells us about the unknown. Four of her eight surviving children served overseas during World War II forcing her to wait for their letters to confirm if they were safe. One son goes missing and Rose has to wait four years to learn if he is alive in a POW camp or dead. Rose's story illuminates the little-known narratives of mothers who had to wait during the war to hear of news about their sons missing in Rabaul, New Guinea.

Download or read book The Angel of Kings Cross written by Anne Sarzin and published by Australian Scholarly Publishing. This book was released on 2023-08-11 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr Fanny Reading arrived in Australia in 1889 as a migrant child and felt the loneliness of the newcomer. A brilliant musician and compassionate medical doctor, she created the National Council of Jewish Women of Australia, mentoring thousands of women, bringing them out of their kitchens into the worlds of public debate and policies. A leader on Australia’s home-front during World War II, she was a trailblazer, feminist and courageous activist for the disadvantaged at home and abroad. ‘This illuminating biography makes a significant contribution to Australian history, politics and culture.’—Emeritus Professor Konrad Kwiet, Resident Historian at the Sydney Jewish Museum ‘Few leaders are endowed with the vision and ability to transform their society. One such catalyst of change was Dr Fanny Reading …’—Professor Andrew Markus, Emeritus Professor of Monash University’s Australian Centre for Jewish Civilisation ‘Sarzin’s book, a labor of love, is a precious gift – not only to a great woman whose legacy has justly been restored but especially to readers, who will emerge with a greater knowledge of critical chapters in Jewish and Australian history, and an appreciation for someone they can cherish as a role model and source of inspiration.’—Dr Daniel Polisar, Executive Vice-President, Shalem College, Jerusalem

Download or read book RBG s Brave Brilliant Women written by Nadine Epstein and published by Delacorte Press. This book was released on 2021-09-21 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of biographies of brave and brilliant Jewish female role models--selected in collaboration with Ruth Bader Ginsburg and including an introduction written by the iconic Supreme Court justice herself-- provides young people with a roster of inspirational role models, all of whom are Jewish women, who will appeal not only to young people but to people of all ages, and all faiths. The fascinating lives detailed in this collection--more than thirty exemplary female role models--were chosen by Ruth Bader Ginsburg, or RBG, as she was lovingly known to her many admirers. Working with her friend, journalist Nadine Epstein, RBG selected these trailblazers, all of whom are women and Jewish, who chose not to settle for the rules and beliefs of their time. They did not accept what the world told them they should be. Like RBG, they dreamed big, worked hard, and forged their own paths to become who they deserved to be. Future generations will benefit from each and every one of the courageous actions and triumphs of the women profiled here. RBG's Brave & Brilliant Women, the passion project of Justice Ginsburg in the last year of her life, will inspire readers to think about who they want to become and to make it happen, just like RBG.

Book excerpt: Sarah is a smart, young lawyer living in Bondi when she falls head over heels. Daniel is handsome, passionate and is part of the kind of large, chaotically loving family Sarah longed for as an only child. When Daniel introduces her to a charismatic young couple, rabbi Menachem Lev and his wife, Chani, despite herself, Sarah is drawn in by the vibrant community at the beachside synagogue. By the time the couple move to the Jamison Valley, where Menachem and Chani have established a community of believers, Sarah can't imagine life without the joy, purpose and love she's discovered. Four years on, youthful passion has given way to something darker. The community will celebrate its first wedding, between the beautiful convert, Avital, and a much older divorcee, but no one seems to be able to give a clear explanation of where Rebecca, his wife, has gone. In the lead up to the wedding a series of terrifying truths emerges that rock Sarah's world and cause her to question everything - her faith, her marriage, and her future.
