Jewish educator and musician Noah Shufutinsky will be in Australia next month for StandWithUs, where he will address students, youth groups, synagogues and community members across Melbourne and Sydney.

Shufutinsky is the education and outreach manager at StandWithUs in Israel and he uses his unique voice to educate and inspire Jewish and non-Jewish audiences.

Also known by his stage name Westside Gravy, Shufutinsky is a musician who fuses his passion for Jewish culture and history with his lived experience of growing up Black and Jewish across the United States to write and produce hip hop music.

As an educator with StandWithUs he speaks about topics regarding Israeli and Jewish history, connection to the homeland, and how antisemitism affects Jewish people around the world.

“Hip hop music has always been a way that people have been able to talk about their identity and tell their stories,” said Shufutinsky, who incorporates Hebrew and Arabic lyrics into his rap songs.
