Sydney’s Jewish Communal Appeal has sent a message requesting all Australian Jews identify as being Jewish in today’s census.
In a statement issued yesterday, the JCA which represents 21 organisations, said:
JCA Planning counts on accurate census information to look at the long term needs of our community – you count on us, we count on you to be counted.
On Census night, August 9, we are asking you to identify as JEWISH.
Specifically Questions 18 and 19 relate in this regard.
Only an accurate COUNT of the Jewish Community can allow the JCA to focus the community’s resources in the right direction and ensure that you can COUNT on us when you us most.
For any privacy concerns, please note that Census information is strictly CONFIDENTIAL.
Jewish could not be entered as a religion on line. Another window opened with Judaism as an option
I have no idea what will happen in the hard copy .
