Bondi has long been the spiritual home of Sydney’s Jews. Now it will be a place of remembrance and grief | Michael Visontay
The magnet that first drew émigrés, including my own parents, was the opportunity to pray and congregate in a beautiful, innocent new environment

It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.
It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.
And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

Just one of the many lies by distortion told by Frydenberg last night on #abc730 - his insinuation that Jewish schools have armed guards due to a failure by Albo.
In fact armed guards were initiated in 2015 - when the LNP was in power & Frydenberg was Asst Treasurer.

The ALP does it.

A new type of mRNA splicing mechanism discovered in Caenorhabditis elegans that detects and removes inverted repeats also occurs in human cells, thereby providing another strategy to protect against the negative effects of transposable elements.
