Perth's Real Jewish News

Jews for Cheeses

Some ideas start out as a satirical attempt to lighten up a pessimistic situation, then as more information comes to light you realise the longer term implications for our community are more serious than initially thought. At the street level you buy your food and grocery’s from the retailer. Every

A voice for the Perth Jewish Community

The Jewish Community Council of WA would be perceived by many as biased in pursuing they’re ever expanding woke agenda. The latest episode is the upcoming Voice debate, which is more interesting for what it doesn’t mention. All the promotional questions are neutral giving the event an air of respectability until
