MEDIA RELEASE: Moderator condemns antisemitic attacks in Sydney’s eastern suburbs

The Uniting Church Synod of NSW and ACT has strongly condemned the recent antisemitic incidents in Sydney’s eastern suburbs.

Moderator, Rev. Faaimata Havea Hiliau said, “We share with our sisters and brothers in the Jewish
community their pain and grief over the recent vandal attacks in Woollahra, the home of many Jewish institutions and synagogues.

“In the face of these incidents, we must all stand together to recommit to respecting and caring for one another, to protecting one another, and to preventing such violence.

“Any form of violence we reject and denounce. It’s vital that as a community we stand together to
embrace human rights and values. I call on all of us to continue to pray for peace and compassion for
those who have been impacted.”
