SAJBD’s Charisse Zeifert Joins Leaders from 50 Countries at WJC Forum in Amsterdam

Last week, Charisse Zeifert attended the World Jewish Congress (WJC) forum in Amsterdam, Netherlands. She joined leaders from 50 countries to discuss the most significant challenges facing global Jewish communities in the diaspora, including rising antisemitism and demonisation of Zionism. It was particularly interesting to hear how the Australian community – one with such deep ties to ours – are dealing with their reality post the Bondi Beach terror attack. While many communities are struggling, it was also reassuring that others, such as the Panama Jewish community, are growing.
