VICTORIAN BUSHFIRE RESPONSE
Alongside all Victorians, the TBI community has been affected by the tragedy which swept through Victoria over this past weekend. We have checked with all members of Temple Beth Israel residing in areas which have been affected by the fires and we are thankful that all have survived
without injury or loss of life.
The outpourings of compassion have been heartfelt and overwhelming.
The TBI office has taken countless enquiries from members
asking how they can help. Here are our suggestions:
