Why AJA?

The Australian Jewish Association (AJA) was created to fill a void and provide a strong, principled voice for the Jewish community in Australia.

Why AJA

To be guided by authentic Jewish values means having regard in policy formulation to principles of Torah. This imposes no requirement on how members conduct their lives. The organisation will welcome members of all levels of observance.
Who would have guessed that AJA would be such a phenomenal success and important voice in Australian politics over such a short time. The reduction in Australian payments to UNRWA is one such victory.

Flower-bedecked Netanyahu and Fijian counterpart open new embassy in Jerusalem

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar celebrate at the inauguration ceremony of Fiji’s embassy in Jerusalem alongside Fijian Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sitiveni Rabuka, Sa’ar’s office says in a statement.

“A new embassy in Jerusalem, our eternal capital!,” Sa’ar cheers in the statement.

The three pose for a photo, with Netanyahu and Rabuka sporting salusalu — traditional Fijian garlands.

“I will continue to strengthen Jerusalem’s standing as the capital of Israel. I will also continue working to open and relocate additional embassies to Jerusalem,” Sa’ar says.

Fiji becomes the seventh country to open an embassy in Jerusalem, joining the US, Guatemala, Honduras, Kosovo, Papua New Guinea and Paraguay.

Argentina has also announced plans to move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem next year.
