Honours for Jewish Aussies
A number of Jewish Australians have received Australia Day Honours this year for their significant contributions to both country and community.
Mazal tov to our honourees, who are part of the 732 Australians who have been recognised in this year’s Australia Day Honours.
“Recipients embody the best of us, and we are grateful to all of them” said Governor-General Sam Mostyn.
“To read recipient stories is to be reminded that contribution to communities across the country, underpinned by care, kindness, respect and love, is what matter most to all Australians, in every sphere of life.”
