To all Jewish Report readers and friends,
April was a monumental month in our South African history. So many of us went out to make our voices heard in protest marches and human chains.
The SA Jewish Report wants to mark this day as a day that Jewish people in this country took a stand. Please help us to do this.
If you have, or are, taking part in any event, march or any other gathering for change in this country, please take photographs and send them to us. Send us messages of what you are experiencing and special anecdotes.
Let us mark our participation in history on the SA Jewish Report website so will always be able to recognise the impact we had.
Send emails to editorial@sajewishreport.co.za and to our Facebook page: southafricanjewishreportnewspaper
For those who aren’t going or want to know what our people are doing around the country, please go to our website www.sajewishreport.co.za to check.
Now, off I go to march to the Union Buildings…
Let’s go out and make a difference!
Warmest regards, Peta Krost Maunder, Editor

CHIEF RABBI IN THE TRENCHES & ON STAGE The Chief Rabbi once again spoke out to Power last week. Goldstein was at the forefront of the #ZumaMustFall march in Pretoria, both on the ground and in a rabble-rousing short interlude on the stage, SEE VIDEO, outside the Union Buildings to the delight of protesters of all persuasions. This follows almost a year to the day after Goldstein had been one of the first senior leaders in SA to tell the ANC that President Jacob Zuma had “lost the moral legitimacy to govern this country”. SEE NEW VIDEO AND PICS, and themed his Pesach message on the topic.

For the sake of SA, ANC must remove Zuma – One year ago the Chief Rabbi told the media that Zuma “lost the moral legitimacy to govern this country”, after an interfaith heads conference speaking for upwards of 80 per cent of South Africans. SEE VIDEO

‘I hope that the Chief Rabbinate will suspend saying prayers in shuls for the welfare of this government until such time as it changes its stance on Israel.’
