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.

Parsha Message – Devarim

As we begin the book of Devarim, Moshe recounts the journeys and struggles of the Israelites on their way to the Land of Israel. It is a powerful reminder that Eretz Yisrael is not just a piece of territory, it is our Divine inheritance, promised by God, fought for by our ancestors, and sanctified by the sacrifices of countless generations.

In this week’s parsha, Moshe rebukes the people for failing to have the courage and faith to enter the land when they were commanded to do so. They hesitated, questioned, and sent spies and the result was 40 years of wandering.

Today, we see a similar lack of moral clarity among the nations of the world. Countries like France, the UK, Canada, and likely soon Australia, are toying with the idea of unilaterally recognising a so-called “State of Palestine”, a political fiction rooted not in peace, but in the rejection of Israel’s very existence.

These are not acts of peace or diplomacy. They are acts of appeasement that reward terrorism and give legitimacy to an entity that still glorifies the murder of Jews and denies Jewish history in our own land.

The message of Devarim is that we must never be afraid to speak truth, even when it’s unpopular. Moshe spoke truth to a generation that needed direction. Today, we must do the same.

At AJA, we will continue to stand proudly and unapologetically for Israel’s right to exist, to defend itself, and to retain sovereignty over its ancestral heartland. The world may prefer delusion and denial. We choose faith, facts, and fortitude.
