The Jewish Community Council of Victoria will continue to do everything we can to support our Jewish community as we react to the news that the devastation at the Adass Israel synagogue on Friday was the work of politically-motivated terrorists.

We extend our appreciation to Victoria Police and other law enforcement agencies for their efforts so far. We urge them to expedite their investigation and arrest the three suspects to protect our community.

The past few days have been traumatic and exhausting for many. We urge anyone needing additional support to contact Hatzolah for free counselling services. Outside the Jewish community, support services, listed below, are also available.

In partnership with Victoria Police, CSG is providing the necessary protection to ensure people going to Jewish schools, synagogues and other Jewish facilities can do so safely.

We are shocked and hurting, but we must show strength and continue living proud Jewish lives.
