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 Australia Israel written by Shahar Burla and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2015-06-01 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australia and the State of Israel have maintained a cordial if at times ambiguous relationship. The two countries are geographically isolated: strategic, economic and cultural interests lie increasingly with Asia for one, and with the US and the EU for the other. But for all that divides the two states, there is also much they share. Australia played an important role in the Jewish state's establishment in 1948, and is home to the most Zionist centered Jewish diaspora globally. Jewishness for most Australian Jews has been shaped and defined by engagement with and support for Israel. At the heart of this engagement is a small but thriving Israeli community within the larger multicultural Australia. Australia and Israel: A Diasporic, Cultural and Political relationship draws attention to the important historical and contemporary nexus between this diaspora and its imagined homeland. The collection also considers the ways in which these two states mobilise national myths and share environmental challenges. In recent time relations between the two states have been tested by the illegal use of Australian passports in 2010, the mysterious death of dual national Ben Zygier, and growing disquiet within the ranks of the Australian Labor Party and the Australian Greens over Israel's handling of the Israel-Palestinian conflict. One prominent world-wide issue is the Palestinian BDS (Boycotts, Divestments and Sanctions) movement, which has attracted sympathy and support that has brought about substantive differences of opinion regarding its legitimacy within the Jewish Australian community. These issues demonstrate the multifaceted and complex picture of two very different nations, that nevertheless share an abiding connection.
Download or read book Edge of the Diaspora written by Suzanne D. Rutland and published by Holmes & Meier Publishers. This book was released on 2001 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the controversial story of a Jewish community founded in one of the furthermost corners of the world. Suzanne Rutland charts this community's history from its convict origins through the turmoil of the twentieth century which saw numerous waves of Jewish immigrants reach Australia's shores. Jews fleeing Nazism arrived in the thirties. They were followed by survivors of the Holocaust and then by refugees from Hungarian Communism in the fifties. More recent waves have brought Soviet and South African Jews. Edge of the Diaspora documents the story of this vibrant community that has integrated but maintained its Jewish identity.

Download or read book Australian Jewish History written by Gerald Rigano 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.
