Malka Lawrence speaks with Rabbi Ralph Genende OAM and Reverend Jonathan Chamberlain, two faith leaders dedicated to fostering understanding between diverse religious communities in Australia. They discussed what inspired their interfaith work, shared examples of dialogue leading to real change, and reflected on the qualities, empathy, openness, and trust that make collaboration effective. They also addressed challenges in bringing communities together and considered the evolving state of interfaith relations in Australia. Looking ahead, they highlighted the role of interfaith initiatives in strengthening social cohesion, shaping public policy, and building meaningful connections, citing recent Anglican–Jewish community exchanges in Melbourne as a practical example. Throughout, they encouraged listeners to embrace mutual respect and shared humanity as the foundation for a more inclusive society.

Maurice Klein speaks with Sara Gold and Vicki Fleiszig-Marton, co-presidents of JNF Victoria. JNF Victoria along with JNF Australia have since October 7 been working overtime and in overdrive providing much needed support and assistance to Israel's devastated communities, by supporting more than sixty urgent projects across Israel's south and north, AND continues to do so! The JNF focus is a holistic approach to recovery, healing the land, the people and the spirit of Israel. JNF Australia has a Build Back Better Israel mission tour scheduled for November 2 - 10, and well before that in two weeks’ time in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth, the JNF Annual Events 2025: Together We Rise with Israel, will be hosting the inspiring Eli Sharabi, who survived 491 days as a Hamas hostage. Eli will be joined on stage and in conversation with award winning Israeli journalist Nadav Eyal. No doubt Eli Sharabi will be inspiring and uplifting; he already is! The very important JNF Annual Events are almost a sell-out in Sydney Tuesday November 2, Melbourne Thursday November 4 and Perth Sunday November 7. To secure tickets and for more information about the November Build Back Better Israel JNF mission click on www.jnf.org.au/annualevent and www.jnf.org.au. Since its founding in 1901, JNF has helped shape the physical and emotional landscape of Israel with the current mission to bring families back home by rebuilding communities, bigger, better and more attractive than ever. Yasher Koach Sara Gold, Vicki Fleiszig-Marton and Team JNF.
