Speech at Rally of Hope

Tzedek Founder & CEO Manny Waks
Thank you to In Good Faith and Associates for initiating this rally, and for the opportunity to address you all here today.
On behalf of many victims and survivors of child sexual abuse within Jewish institutions, I would like to acknowledge and thank the Victorian Government for launching this Inquiry. With today’s publication of the Inquiry’s report, we can of course celebrate a milestone in a long journey but we should also reflect on the significant work that still lies ahead.
This Inquiry was the catalyst for the establishment of Tzedek (“Justice” in Hebrew), the only organisation within the Australian Jewish community that is dedicated to the issue of child sexual abuse.
