On 4 October the SAJBD and SABC Religion celebrated Sukkoth at Pine Street Shul. Rabbi Motti Hadar and Rebbetzin Temmi Hadar explained the symbolism of the holiday. Following that, the group of journalists and interfaith visited Satyagraha House – also known as Gandi House. Yashika Singh, head of SABC Religion, gave information about Gandi and what he stood for and believed.
Last week brought powerful moments of unity and hope. 🌟
The SAJBD proudly participated in two major interfaith gatherings, the Faith–Governance Conference hosted by the and the Gauteng Ethics & Anti-Corruption Council.
These gatherings reminded us that South Africa’s diverse faith communities are deeply committed to working hand-in-hand. Together, we can build a more ethical, compassionate, and united South Africa. 🤝🇿🇦✨
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.
