– Dr Arnold Shmerling, co-Founder and Board Member. Stand Up

For over three decades, we’ve built meaningful connections across communities, driven by our vision of creating a fair and equitable Australia.

These past 18 months have been challenging. We've witnessed rising antisemitism, growing division, and moments that have tested our community's resilience. At Stand Up, we see these challenges as a profound call to action.

Now, more than ever, our work is essential. Through programs that bring people together, foster understanding, and empower compassionate dialogue, we create spaces where differences connect us rather than divide us.

As far as the relationship between the Aboriginal community and the Jewish community— it didn’t change on October 7.. and it won’t change in the years to come.
