Alex Ryvchin: The resilience of Australian Jewry

Alex Ryvchin is co-Chief Executive Officer of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry, the author of internationally acclaimed books of history and politics, and a best-selling children’s author. Over the past twelve years he has been a fierce advocate for the Australian Jewish community and Israel. His advocacy and writing has seen him recognised as Australian of the Year for 2024 by The Australian newspaper, as one of 25 global Jewish visionaries by The Jerusalem Post and ranked 38th in the Daily Telegraph’s Power 100 for 2024. He is the recipient of the 2025 B’nai B’rith Human Rights Award, and I’m so excited to have him on the show today. Today's episode was produced by Tani Levitt and Mijon Zulu.
