Thank you to the City of Johannesburg for painting over the very antisemitic graffiti outside the Johannesburg Holocaust and Genocide Centre. The SAJBD approached the City of Johannesburg after antisemitic graffiti had been painted in clear violation of the city's bylaws.
The SAJBD stood with the women of South Africa and joined the G20 Women’s Shutdown. For 15 minutes, we lay in unity on the floor at Constitution Hill as the names of GBV victims were read - a stark reminder of the daily reality faced by so many women and children in our country.
A meaningful day at the G20 Social Summit, where voices from civil society, grassroots groups, and faith-based communities came together.
The SAJBD is proud to continue engaging with the broader South African society on behalf of our Jewish community. 🤝🌍
