Indigenous speakers touch plenum hearts
Two indigenous descendants of World War I Battle of Beersheva fighters have addressed The New South Wales Jewish Board of Deputies’ plenum on their participation in the centenary re-enactment in Israel.
A spokesperson for the Board told J-Wire: ” It was one of the most moving NSW Jewish Board of Deputies plenums ever held.”
Board of Deputies member Jenny Symonds, who arranged for 12 indigenous descendants to attend the re-enactment, also addressed the plenum.
