The power of sport when it matters most

This morning, I went to buy my challah and was stopped in my tracks by the front page of The AJN.

There, proudly displayed, was a beautiful image of our Australian athletes at the Maccabiah Opening Ceremony, waving the Australian flag for the world to see.

I was overwhelmed with emotion.

Perhaps the weight of the past three years and the many challenges leading into these Games had taken a greater toll than I realised.

But in that moment, seeing Team AUS proudly representing our country and community, I felt an enormous sense of pride.
