Last week, Charisse Zeifert attended the World Jewish Congress (WJC) forum in, Amsterdam, Netherlands. She joined leaders from 50 countries to discuss the most significant challenges facing global Jewish communities in the diaspora, including rising antisemitism and demonisation of Zionism. It was particularly interesting to hear how the Australian community - one with such deep ties to ours - are dealing with their reality, post the Bondi-beach terror attack. While many communities are struggling, it was also reassuring that others, such as the Panama Jewish community are growing. Photo: Shahar Azran/WJC

In a time of heightened tension, a conversation between Aubrey Masango and @MaryKluk on Radio 702 reminds us what respectful dialogue can look like.

As Charisse Zeifert @2JewishZA reflects in her article, these moments of thoughtful, nuanced engagement remain essential to a healthy democracy. They create space not only for understanding, but for listening across difference.
