SBS Yiddish Report with Alex Dafner: excellent VCE results for Jewish students in Victoria, despite a difficult year
Australian Jewish community leaders and politicians praised the Sydney Festival for rejecting a campaign to disallow a dance tribute to the Israeli Batsheva Dance company by the Sydney Dance Company, on the grounds largely that it is co-sponsored by the Israeli Embassy in Australia.
Year 12 students in Jewish colleges in Victoria have again attained excellent VCE results despite a difficult year because of the Covid pandemic and the Bialik College was the second highest achieving school overall, among the more than 500 schools sitting the exams in that state.
Australian and Jewish medical experts and community leaders have again appealed to the Jewish community to take all possible preventative measures and to receive the booster vaccinations, as the 4th wave of the Omicron Covid variant takes hold in NSW and Victoria.
