About the speaker: Avraham (Abe) Schwarz has worked for many years in the Youth and Community Development sectors for both Jewish and mainstream organisations in Australia – and 4 intriguing years of Interfaith Dialogue and Tour-Guiding in Jerusalem, whilst studying Rabbinic and Torah Jewish sources – and raising a young family. Avraham is the proud father of Zachariah, Gabriel and Noah, and outside of family, devotes extensive time promoting Cultural Diversity, Jewish Education, Aboriginal Reconciliation and Interfaith Harmony - formally as Honorary Secretary of C.O.M.M.O.N. - the Centre Of Melbourne Multifaith & Others Network. Additionally, Abe presents to schools through the Jewish Christian Muslim Association (JCMA), writes and broadcasts on related topics including for Gesher, the Journal of the Council of Christians and Jews (CCJ) and actively supports the legacy of Aboriginal activist Uncle William Cooper (1860-1941) - volunteering as Secretary to his 87-year-old grandson, Uncle Boydie. “Abe’s Tikun Olam Hour” weekly Social Justice radio show can be heard around the world on Sundays at 9pm on www.j-air.com.au – or on 87.8FM in Melbourne inner-S.E. suburbs, where many topics relevant to the Casey Multifaith Network are also regularly explored.
