They will explore October 7 and Jewish identity, migration, Israel’s changing demographics and Israel-Diaspora relations.

With the 2026 Australian Census taking place this month, the timing couldn’t be more relevant. Why does identifying as Jewish in the Census matter? What can the Census and GEN26 tell us about who we are, and where Australian Jewry is heading?

The findings suggest resilience isn’t just something you have - it’s something that can be developed.
