We recognise the traditional owners’ continuing connection to the land, waterways and community. We pay respect to Elders past and present, and we acknowledge their stories, traditions and living cultures. As Jewish women, we specifically honour and acknowledge First Nations’ women who, like our matriarchs, are strong, brave, determined and resilient. We would also like to acknowledge the indigenous people of the land of Israel, the Jewish people. We pray for the return of our hostages, and that those protecting our country on the ground stay safe.

10 . It is with both pride and deep emotion that we reflect on the past year at NCJWA Vic — a year shaped by profound challenges, community resilience and organisational change.

ncjwavic.org.au . 11The period from April 2024 to March 2025 was unlike any other in recent memory. In the wake of the events of October 7, the world shied — and with it, so too did the Jewish community’s sense of security, visibility, and responsibility. As a proudly Jewish and feminist organisation, NCJWA Vic responded with clarity, care, and conviction. Our commitment to Jewish values, to justice, and to the wellbeing of women, children, and families remained unwavering — even as the ground beneath us moved. Throughout these difficult months, we have continued to show up. We offered solidarity and support to those in our community who felt isolated, anxious, or under pressure. We doubled down on our advocacy for respectful, nuanced conversations and community cohesion — particularly important in a climate of rising antisemitism. And we held space for grief, for complexity, and for hope. Despite the challenges, NCJWA Vic’s programs continued to thrive, and we launched vital conversations through advocacy forums, public events, and community education, speaking out on issues ranging from Jewish women’s safety and mental health to gender equity in leadership and interfaith understanding. Our volunteers, the very heart of our organisation, continued to give generously of their time and spirit. And our staff, board, and program partners worked tirelessly to ensure our services were responsive and relevant in a rapidly changing world. This year also marked significant leadership transition. We warmly welcomed a new President, Anna Serry, to the helm and bid farewell to Lisa Ezekiel, who served as CEO with distinction, compassion, and vision. Lisa’s leadership le an indelible mark on NCJWA Vic. Her deep commitment to our mission, her ability to bring people together, and her clarity of purpose helped shape a more dynamic and inclusive organisation. We thank Lisa for her service and leadership and wish her every success in her future endeavours. As we look ahead, our plans for the forthcoming renovation of our home are well under way under the incredible stewardship of our building commiee made up of accomplished female professionals in architecture, design, and development industries. We are focused on expanding and reimagining our program offering to ensure we reach more women with greater impact. NCJWA Vic remains commied to walking with Jewish women through the defining challenges and opportunities of our time. We know that our strength lies in our relationships — across generations, across communities, and across the diverse expressions of Jewish identity. We extend our deepest thanks and gratitude to all of our supporters whose dedication and generous contributions of time, talent and donations make our work possible. Finally, to our small but mighty team of staff, thank you to each of you for the outstanding contribution you make to delivering our programs and services. With gratitude, Lesley Ber and Anna Serry

12 . The National Council of Jewish Women of Australia, Victoria (NCJWA Vic) was established by Dr Fanny Reading MBE in 1927. At a time when women were virtually unrepresented in any Australian Parliament, Dr Reading gave Jewish women a voice and provided an outstanding model of leadership. She spoke about responsibility, and her ‘parliament of volunteers’ which set the agenda for activism that continues to this day. 98 years later, NCJWA Vic continues this legacy, empowering women and girls and providing a voice for Jewish women, through our work in the Jewish and broader communities.

14 . Between April 2024 and March 2025, we supported 82 mothers referred from 6 local councils, including Kingston, Glen Eira, and Port Phillip. Our mums came from 32 countries of origin, reflecting the multicultural fabric of our city and the importance of delivering culturally responsive care.This year, we proudly welcomed 15 new volunteer Caring Mums to our community, including five Mandarin-speaking volunteers. These dedicated women are supporting a pilot expansion of our program into Melbourne’s eastern and northern suburbs. The pilot focuses on providing support to Chinese-speaking mothers - particularly recent immigrants with limited English - who are at heightened risk of social isolation. This initiative marks a crucial step toward a more inclusive and culturally responsive program, laying the foundation for further expansion across Melbourne to reach more Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) families.At the heart of Caring Mums is the powerful connection between volunteer and mother. As one volunteer shared:“Walking alongside a mum with her new baby for one year - supporting her, encouraging her, and watching her grow and blossom into a confident mum… What a privilege it is when a mum allows ‘a perfect stranger’ into her life - and is prepared to share her emotions, challenges, and life with us.”We were deeply moved this year by the story of a former participant who has now become a volunteer:“As someone who has personally benefied from the support of Caring Mums, I was fortunate to have the most amazing Caring Mum… Her presence in my life has been nothing short of transformative… This experience has not only shaped me as a mother but made me a beer human being. Now, as I transition into a role as a volunteer to support other mums, I find it incredibly rewarding to give back… Moving from being on the receiving end to now supporting others has reignited my passion for making a real difference.”We acknowledge the essential role of our volunteer supervisors: Michelle Kornberg, Mina Levy, Karen Schnall, Mary Buigieg, Ellie Smorgon, Tara Schyer, Tammy Tisher and Tanya Cawthorne - whose leadership, care and wisdom guide our volunteers and uphold the integrity of the program.

ncjwavic.org.au . 15This year’s program was marked by a dynamic range of workshops, guest speakers, and community engagement opportunities. Topics explored included gender equity, respectful relationships, Jewish values, media literacy, and the power of personal storytelling. Through these experiences, participants developed the confidence and skills to articulate their views, challenge societal norms, and imagine their role as future changemakers within both the Jewish and broader Australian community.The 2024 JAM cohort demonstrated remarkable growth in their understanding of intersectional feminism, allyship, and the importance of using their voices for social good. The mentorship element — pairing teenage participants with young Jewish women — continues to prove invaluable in offering guidance, encouragement, and real-world insight.In the words of Jodie Kagan, who coordinated the program with compassion and energy, “fortnightly mentor and mentee pairings met for a walk or the extremely popular Yochi or Blitz Bar to chat about everything and anything. It was their choice. That is the beauty of the program, each participant and each pairing is different. Each relationship journey is different. The program allows space for the participants to determine their program pathway.”A big thank-you to the 2024 Mentors who undertook their role as volunteers. We are so grateful for their time especially as many of them were navigating university life or embarking on their own career path. A big shout-out to Galit Gaddie who was extremely generous with her time in mentoring two participants.

18 . “Sarah* and I finished our time together this morning, and I just wanted to share my heartfelt appreciation for Caring Mums and the work that you do.Having the space to feel listened to and understood in navigating the early days of motherhood, has been a completely invaluable experience for me. I can’t really express how impactful it has been to get to know Sarah* and to have her weekly support and encouragement.I thank you for the program that you offer and facilitate. Though my daughter is too young for me to be able to volunteer my own time, I hope to be in a position to be able to volunteer at some stage in the future.” – Chloe, Caring Mums participant*Participant and volunteer names have been changed for privacycaring mums accelerator“I’m excited to finally share some personal news. Aer months of hard work and reflection, I’m thrilled to announce that in the new year, I’ll be stepping into the role of Head of Fundraising, Marketing and Communications at a Jewish organisation.This journey wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible people in our program and others who have supported me along the way. Whether through words of encouragement, mentorship, or simply believing in me, you’ve all made an impact—thank you!The past few months have been transformative, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to align my career with what gives me purpose. The program truly served as the “accelerator” I needed, and I can’t wait to bring my passion and energy into this next chapter.”

ncjwavic.org.au . 19In 2024 NCJWA VIC and the JAM Project were delighted to partner with The Good Box on Mitzvah Day. Mentors, mentees and their families came together and participated in a group packing box session with The Good Box, a social enterprise that creates beautifully packaged gi boxes for people experiencing homelessness in Australia. The packed boxes were gied to new mothers through NCJWA Vic’s Caring Mums.The Good Box’s co-founder and joint CEO Gali Blacher, a current JAM Project Mentor, shared with us the incredible work her organisation does for the community. Gali also facilitated a group packing box session. The packed boxes with items such as hand lotion, soap and baby muslin accompanied by a card handwrien by JAM FEST aendees that were gied to NCJWA Vic’s Caring Mums participants.JamFest

20 . We continued our direct dialogue with organisations like UN Women Australia, Women’s Agenda, the UNAA Status of Women Commiee and deepened our allyship with organisations like Australians Investing in Women, the Victorian Multicultural Commission and National Council of Women Victoria.Our recent International Women’s Day Breakfast celebration was held under an open banner, opting out of the theme offered by the UN organising body. We preferred to create a safe space for Jewish leaders to share insights, exchange ideas and champion positive change together.In exciting news, NCJWA Vic was honoured to receive the generous gi of Jewish Women of Words (JWOW) from the visionary team of Simone Szalmuk-Singer, Liora Miller and Deborah Reichter. JWOW is a platform dedicated to amplifying the voices, stories, and perspectives of Jewish women. This significant addition aligns seamlessly with our mission to empower Jewish women and advocate for gender equity, inclusion, and community connection. JWOW’s rich archive and ongoing potential for storytelling complement our broader efforts to elevate the lived experiences of women, foster dialogue, and create space for diverse narratives within the Jewish community. Additionally, the #MakeSpaceForHer Jewish Women’s Directory, launched in 2023, continues to spotlight talented women across our community. With 80 women featured, the Directory has proven invaluable for organisations seeking to enhance female representation in all aspects of leadership.We also celebrate the organisations that have embraced our #MakeSpaceForHer Pledge. It is truly wonderful to see strong female leadership at the highest level at pledge partner Zionism Victoria, with Elyse Shachna stepping into the Presidency and Lexi Kowal into Vice Presidency. It is through this suite of #MakeSpaceForHer tools that NCJWA Vic advances gender equality and creates meaningful opportunities for women and girls across the community. An enormous thank you to the volunteers on our Advocacy Commiee, without whom our work in the leadership space would not be possible.

22 . launch of #MakeSpaceForHer accelerator“Make Space for Her Accelerator was honestly life changing. I didn’t realise how much I needed it and just how special it would be to feel safe around other Jewish women. The program was thought out in such great and amazing detail. I am so thankful for the wonderful people I was able to meet and the lifelong connections. I have truly never been a part of anything this valuable. I have lifelong lessons and reflections that will stay with me forever. Thank you!” – Chanchkie Slavin“For me the best part of the session was understanding conflict and learning to not be scared of it. It was lightbulb moment for me understanding that if we plan for conflict and risk then we can actually confront it head on.” – Daniella Gozlan

ncjwavic.org.au . 23Our community is built on the enduring gis of time, talent, treasure, and ties, each one essential to our shared mission. Volunteers are the heart of every NCJWA Vic initiative: they mentor and inspire young girls in our Bat Mitzvah program with UJEB, and the Jam Project offering wisdom and support during pivotal years. Compassionate volunteers walk alongside new mothers, providing vital emotional support during life’s transitions. Volunteers also ensure that our senior women are seen, heard, and valued. Equally vital are our Board and commiee member volunteers, who dedicate their expertise and vision to guiding NCJWA Vic’s strategy and governance. Their leadership ensures our organisation remains strong, transparent, and responsive to community needs, shaping the future of our impact. This powerful continuum of care is grounded in Jewish values and sustained by the commitment of those who came before us. By volunteering with NCJWA Vic, we honour their legacy and invest in a future where every woman and girl can thrive—continuing to build an inclusive, resilient, and compassionate community, one generation inspiring the next.We volunteer because we are part of a remarkable 98-year legacy – a tradition of service and leadership begun by Dr Fanny Reading in 1927 and carried forward by generations of dedicated women.Amanda Morris 2024 Local Hero AwardLibby Farkas received the Fanny Reading ScholarshipKaren Friede received the Sylvia Gelman AwardMichelle Kornberg became an Honorary Life MemberElaine King received the Patron’s AwardLexi Kowal received the President’s Award

24 . The 2024 lecture, titled “Building a Beer World: Nova Peris’ Path of Tikkun Olam,” featured Nova Peris OAM as our keynote speaker. A decorated Indigenous Australian athlete, former senator, and tireless advocate, Nova shared her powerful perspective on justice, solidarity, and the importance of truth-telling in today’s challenging climate.With the rising tide of global antisemitism, Nova’s words held resonance. She spoke candidly about her recent visit to Israel, where she bore witness to the aermath of the October 7 aacks, and reflected on the responsibility we all share to confront hate and misinformation. Drawing meaningful parallels between the experiences of Aboriginal and Jewish communities, Nova offered a vision of empathy, shared resilience, and collective healing.Nova was joined in conversation by Professor Kim Rubenstein, a distinguished legal academic and human rights advocate. Their dialogue, rich in insight and purpose, captivated the audience and deepened the evening’s themes of justice, inclusion, and active citizenship.Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2024 Mina Fink Lecture. It was a stirring and memorable night—one that honoured Mina’s legacy while lighting the way forward.Mina Fink Lecture

ncjwavic.org.au . 25In 2024, we were privileged to host Professor Ruth Halperin-Kaddari, a global authority on family law and international women’s rights, who joined us via Zoom from Israel. A Full Professor at Bar-Ilan University and Founding Academic Director of the Rackman Center for the Advancement of the Status of Women, Professor Halperin-Kaddari shared her vital work seeking justice for the victims of sexual violence and gender-based crimes commied during the October 7 aacks.Drawing on her extensive experience as a human rights defender and former UN expert, she spoke of her ongoing engagement with both Israeli authorities and international decision-makers, including the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. Her perspective offered clarity and moral urgency during a time of global unrest.The conversation continued in person with Ora-Tali Korbl and Lillian Kline, moderated by Lexi Kowal. Together, the panel explored how Jewish women can reclaim and navigate human rights spaces in the wake of rising antisemitism and international silence around gendered atrocities.Fanny Reading

26 . We are proud to showcase the strategic collaborations and powerful public actions we have led and participated in to support and upli our community:Letzidech Support for Pregnant Widows As an impactful response to the war in Israel, The IDF Widows & Orphans Organisation, in partnership with Israel’s Ministry of Defense and the IDF’s Fallen Soldiers Division, introduced the ‘Letzidech’ (Beside You) project. Letzidech provides a beacon of support for the pregnant widows of soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice in the wake of the tragic events of October 7, 2023. Letzidech is more than a program; it’s a promise to stand by those who have endured the loss of their loved ones in defence of our nation. Given the alignment of this program with our very own Caring Mums, we held a joint fundraiser to elevate the incredible work of Letzidech and bring hope to the Israeli widows and their families. October 7 Survivor Shani TshuvaAs our community came together to commemorate the first year since October 7, we hosted an intimate and moving “In Conversation” with Shani Tshuva, a survivor from Kibbutz Zikim, who shared her powerful story of survival and strength. While many kibbutzim, moshav’s and the Zikim Military Base were breached by terrorists on October 7, the residents of Zikim managed to hold off the aack. Almost one year later, in October 2024, 80 percent had returned. Shani and her family were among the first to go back, returning aer six months. Shani spoke with optimism for the future and a profound love of life. Israel

ncjwavic.org.au . 27UN Human Rights Day Vigil — Jewish Women’s Rights are Human Rights December 10, UN Human Rights Day, Jewish women’s and communal organisations came together to remind their fellow Australians that human rights apply to all people. Hillary Clinton famously said at the UN Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing in 1995, “women’s rights are human rights”. At the time of the vigil, 13 of the remaining hostages were Israeli women, who were suffering unimaginable ongoing sexual, physical and psychological abuse. This solemn vigil on the steps of the Victorian Parliament was a space of both mourning and protest—a call for recognition of the hostages and a demand for accountability. Strength in SisterhoodWe were proud to lead Strength in Sisterhood alongside WIZO Victoria, J-United, UIA Women’s Division, InternationALL Women’s Day, Emunah and Project A for International Women’s Day 2025. It was an event that celebrated resilience and solidarity among women, reinforcing our shared values and collective voice.Navigating political discord within familiesRecognising the emotional toll and political polarization that has impacted many families, we held a community event designed to support families navigating difficult conversations and relationships in these challenging times. This event created space for empathy, respectful dialogue, and healing – core components of our mission.

32 . In continuation from last year’s report, we acknowledge the significant and ongoing impact of October 7. Occurring midway through our previous financial year, these events triggered a major shi in the political and philanthropic landscape, changing the environment in which we operate. While our supporters remain aware of the vital need to sustain local organisations like ours, we must also recognise that available resources are limited. The global climate, particularly the growing urgency to support Israel and the fight against antisemitism locally, has intensified fundraising challenges for local Jewish charities. Income and Financial ManagementAs our financial results reflect, these external factors have significantly influenced our operations. In response, the organisation has taken measured steps to optimise resource allocation, reduce expenditure and strengthen our fundraising efforts to support our work and build long-term financial sustainability. A major decision during this period was the Board’s determination that a full-time CEO role was no longer financially sustainable or the optimal structure for our organisation. This decision, though not taken lightly, ensures we remain on track to deliver our mission, amplify the voice of Jewish for the financial year ending March 31, 2025NCJW (Victoria) Social Support Trust$42,183Bank balancesat 31 March 2024 and 31 March 2025 ■ 2025■ 2024NCJW (Victoria) NCJW (Victoria) Community Services Inc$6,795$3,121$1,382,392$1,461,027$18,413It is with great pleasure that I present the Treasurer’s Report.
