Thousands join national storytelling night
About 2000 Australians joined a national storytelling event on antisemitism
Around 2000 Australians participated in a national online storytelling gathering on Sunday night, sharing their experiences of antisemitism ahead of the deadline for submissions to the Royal Commission into Antisemitism.
The Share Your Story event attracted more than 330 registered hosts and individuals, with 250 participants on the Zoom call at its peak.
Every state and territory in Australia was represented throughout the evening.
Rabbi Yaakov Glasman of St Kilda Shule officially opened the evening with the sounding of the shofar, and former federal treasurer Josh Frydenberg addressed participants on the importance of the Commission.
Jess Barrett of the Jewish Community Council of WA shared her personal story, and the evening closed with a song of hope performed by Noy Ben Ami.
