Dear friend,

I  am sure you’ve all seen the  devastating news of the four police members who were killed last night while on active duty. It has shocked the police community and the wider Victorian community. As you know I volunteer as a police chaplain and have been visiting the stations I oversee during the course of today and will do so over the next few days to offer support to our police members. There has been an overwhelming support being shared from the community and many have sent in flowers and chocolates to the stations. If anyone wants to to send a letter to Victoria Police I would be glad to print it tomorrow and hand it to the Superintendent at my station. Please email me at rabbirabin@schc.org.au. May we share only good news in the future.

Next week we also commemorate Yom Hazikaron and then celebrate Yom Ha’atzmaut. Please find a piece below that I wrote for the Australian Jewish News for Yom Hazikaron

Am Yisrael Chai!

Wishing you a beautiful Shabbat and weekend ahead!
