Israel continues to rank among the world's leading innovation economies, with a startup ecosystem valued at hundreds of billions of dollars and a global reputation for entrepreneurship, technology and research. In this episode, SBS speaks with Israel's Trade Commissioner to Australia, Ohad Blumberg, about the country's resilience as a technology and investment hub amid ongoing regional conflict and geopolitical challenges.

Posthumously recognised in the King's Birthday Honours, Lewis Joshua Levi is being remembered not only for decades of community service, but for the kindness that defined his everyday life. Speaking to SBS Hebrew, his daughters reflect on a father whose commitment to helping others left a lasting mark on Sydney's Jewish community and inspired a legacy that continues through future generations.

A community learn-a-thon, survivor testimonies and reflections on resilience will mark six months since the Bondi terror attack. Hosted at Mitzvah House (the community hub established at the attack site), the event seeks to honour the victims while encouraging Australians to respond to tragedy with kindness, learning and community spirit.

Ronit Joel is a Jewish psychologist with over 20 years of experience using CBT to work with people from all backgrounds - and naturally, many of them are now experiencing a heightened sense of anxiety. As part of our series on 'Hopes & Fears in the Jewish Sphere', we sat with her to talk about identity, belonging and the rapidly changing sense of what it is to be Jewish in Australia.

Gina Debinski has long held a special connection to Bondi, travelling there several times a year to paint its beach life and scenery. After the terror attack, Gina watched on television as Bondi’s surfing community formed a huge memorial circle in the water - a moment that made her pick up her paints and recreate the scene on canvas. She spoke to SBS Hebrew about returning to Bondi after months of avoiding it.

Heart disease remains Australia's leading cause of death for men and one of the nation's biggest health challenges. Despite major advances in treatment, thousands of Australians continue to die from cardiovascular disease each year, many from conditions that can be prevented or detected earlier. In this interview, Melbourne interventional cardiologist Dr David Blusztein discusses the current state of heart health in Australia, the risk factors driving cardiovascular disease and the practical steps people can take to protect themselves. From blood pressure and cholesterol screening to lifestyle changes and emerging treatments, Dr Blusztein explains what Australians need to know about prevention, early detection and reducing their risk of heart attack and stroke. The conversation also explores why heart disease remains so prevalent, the warning signs people often overlook, and how advances in modern cardiology are helping patients live longer and healthier lives.

The government has announced what it has described as the biggest reform to employment services in over 30 years. The system has been set up to help unemployed Australians find work. But with the continuation of mutual obligations and private providers, advocates say the changes are nothing more than a rebrand.

To mark national Sorry Day 2026, we reflect on people’s stories of hope and resilience from a panel of esteemed Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and Australian South Sea Islander women. This event was run in conjunction with the NCJWA and Stand Up.
