Title: Six13 – A Wicked Chanukah (*from 0:23 mins)

Description:  The song, by veteran Jewish a cappella group Six13, is a voice-only medley of music from the box office smash prequel to the classic movie “The Wizard of Oz”. The parallels between their story, the ancient one we celebrate, and the ongoing struggle we endure today -- fighting against the odds, overcoming oppression and vilification -- are not lost on us. We hope you'll find this just as meaningful. Chag Sameach!

Title: Freya Leach – Student activist Marching for the Living and Israel, to say Never Again Is Now (from 17:51 mins)

(Original broadcast date: June 12, 2024)

Segment Podcast Link: https://omny.fm/shows/lchaim-to-life/freya-leach-student-activist-marching-for-the-livi

Description: Maurice Klein speaks with Freya Leach, Christian activist and Director of the Centre for Youth Policy, studying for a Bachelor of Commerce and a Bachelor of Law at Sydney University, with a very active social media following and frequently appearing as a special guest at events focusing on young people and politics.  As part of the Australian delegation, Freya recently participated on the 31st March Of The Living (MOTL) at the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration and extermination camp. She tells us how privileged and life changing the MOTL experience first in Poland with Holocaust survivors and then in Israel was, and how it was the ultimate triumph of life and goodness over death and evil. Freya tells us that the importance of remembering and education is critical. Upon arriving in Israel for the second week of MOTL, the delegation was taken straight to the South to witness the October 7 devastation, which Freya finds difficult to describe, an "apocalyptic scene".  Freya featured recently on the Josh Frydenberg documentary “Never Again - The Fight Against Antisemitism”, and tells us about the very hostile state of affairs at our universities, with the pro-Palestinian students wanting to create fear and intimidate the silent majority of supportive students for Israel and Jewish community into silence, so that any support for Israel is crushed with Zionists and Jews not welcome on university campuses. Freya also spoke at the Never Again Is Now rally in Brisbane over the weekend, which had another wonderful attendance and support for the Jewish community and Israel.

Title: Ramona Chrapot  – An unapologetically proud Zionist and Jew (*from 40:37 mins)

(Original broadcast date: March 13, 2024)

Segment Podcast Link: https://omny.fm/shows/lchaim-to-life/ramona-chrapot-an-unapologetically-proud-zionist-a

Description: Maurice Klein speaks with Ramona Chrapot, the social media officer at the Zionist Federation of Australia which in partnership with the Jewish Agency of Israel organised a week-long delegation of Australian Jewish youth leaders to visit Israel. Leading the mission, we hear from Ramona about the mission's visit to the October 7 devastated communities in Israel's south and to the Nova Festival massacre site, needless to say totally impactful along with the mission's visit to new Hostages Square in Tel Aviv, meeting and speaking with family members of the 134 hostages still in Gaza captivity. The mission met with leaders, communities and Israelis from all walks of life, who have united and come together to support each other and Israel through yet another threatening existential war that Israel must defend and prosecute for its continued survival and that of the Jewish people.  The very important experience and messages that Ramona and the youth leaders returned to Australia with are that we as Jews in Australia who are also now in a war, a war of anti-Semitism, are to be standing tall and proud as Jews and Zionists in support and advocating for Israel. Omein to that, achdut.  Bring Them Home Now. Follow Ramona Chrapot's ZFA's social media advocacy @_didjewknow.
