As we commemorate the one-year anniversary of October 7th—the darkest day in recent Jewish history—we are asking the community to honour it with dignity through a simple, life-affirming act: donating blood to those in need.

 

On the 6th and 7th of October, we will gather as a community to transform our grief into hope and life. This grassroots campaign, led by the local Jewish community, is a testament to our resilience and love and to our eternal commitment to tikkun olam - the millennia-old Jewish principle of repairing the world.

​

Unlike our detractors, when we come together to demonstrate, protest, or remember October 7th  we do so with love, hope, and positive actions. Instead of the violent rhetoric and taunts of those who call for our annihilation and the amplification of hate; we choose life. We choose to answer the Red Cross’ call to replenish dangerously low blood supplies across Australia.  

​

So please join our team REMEMBERING 7.10.23 and book your blood donation on October 6th or October 7th at the Moore Park Lifeblood Centre, where we will be hosting a communal donation drive (with Jewish music to get your blood pumping and Kosher sweet treats from OBK for a Sweet outcome).

 

If you can’t make it to this location on those dates, don’t worry! You can still be a part of this meaningful effort by booking a donation anywhere in Australia through the link below:

We choose Tikkun Olam, because repairing the world is in our blood. Am Israel Chai!
