Representing Christians 4 Israel, Ian was part of the committee of Christian organisations and communities representing hundreds of thousands of Australia Christians, responsible for drafting a letter to the Foreign Minister of Australia, Penny Wong, expressing their dismay and consternation in response to the recent policy announcement that Australia will refer to Gaza and the West Bank including East Jerusalem as illegally "Occupied Palestinian Territories".  Christians 4 Israel publishes a bi-monthly newspaper “Israel and Christians Today" with the purpose to inform and inspire mainly non-Jewish Christian readers to love and pray and to comfort Israel in practical ways and to stand in solidarity with their Jewish brothers and sisters and to fight against antisemitism. Collectively Christians 4 Israel Australia raises hundreds of thousands of dollars every year to help, aid and comfort Israel and the Jewish people supporting many projects. Earlier this year a Rapid response vehicle was purchased for Magen David Adom. For the past 30 years, Ian and Mandy Worby have been involved as pioneers of Christian Radio and Media, establishing Vision Christian Radio in 1999 that now has over 800 radio partners with Vision Christian Media all over the country in every state and territory. Mandy Worby, a radio announcer for nearly 30 years is on Vision Radio Monday-Friday from 12 noon to 3 pm sharing positive segments about Israel and also does a daily radio spot called Foundations, connecting the Hebraic roots of the Christian faith. Ian and Mandy also take tours to Israel every year.  Australia has a long and rich history of helping the Jewish people and standing with Israel which Ian and Mandy love to celebrate and support. May Hashem Bless Ian and Mandy Worby along with all the Australian Christian friends of Israel.  To find out more go to www.c4israel.com.au or www.vision.org.au or www.ucbap.org.

Title: Robert Gregory – All the way with the AJA (*from 50:08 mins)

Description: Maurice Klein speaks with Robert Gregory, CEO of the Australian Jewish Association (AJA) which announced earlier this year that several AJA founding members were stepping aside to make way for expansion and renewal. After two years as the AJA's Public Affairs Director, Robert has now taken on the role as the AJA's CEO with a new board of twelve Directors, which has a balance of youthful enthusiasm and experienced wisdom, with several members having held leadership roles in other organisations. With support for Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people an indispensable pillar of the AJA's worldview, the conservative-right, Halachic principled AJA has experienced massive growth and support in its five years. The AJA constructively engages with Governments, parliamentarians, government agencies and departments in policy and advocacy for the benefit of the Jewish community and Israel, as well as presenting views directly in the media where it has established the AJA as a “go-to” organisation. We hear from Robert, that in the interest of our community and Israel the Australian Jewish Association is willing to work with any of our Jewish Communal organisations, and extends a hand of genuine friendship. The AJA welcomes members at all levels of Judaic observance who share a devotion to Am Yisrael (The Jewish Nation) and Eretz Yisrael( Land of Israel).  To follow and support the AJA go to:  https://jewishassociation.org.au/.
