As an Australian Jewish media organisation, we, like the rest of the community, have had our world turned upside down since the horrendous attack at Bondi last year that killed 15 people and injured many more.
On the eve of the anniversary of the terror attack that targeted the Jewish community, we want to take the opportunity to reflect not only on what and who was lost that day, but also explore what has become of Australian society since.
Ahead of the release of the Royal Commission findings, what have we learned from the past year?
- Are we further from or closer to social cohesion in our communities?
- How do we build a more tolerant society that holds space for different views without dehumanisation of the other and resorting to violence?
- What is the media's role in creating a climate of change?
The panel discussion at the State Library of NSW is aimed at both the Jewish and broader community and will include the Editor of the Sydney Morning Herald, Jordan Baker, human rights lawyer Anthony Levin and Muslim community leader Dr Jamal Rifi.
It will be moderated by TJI Senior Writer Michael Visontay. The afternoon event will include live music by Nadav Kahn and Jessica Chapnik Kahn.
We hope you can join us to respectfully explore this sensitive space together and be a part of this important conversation.
