Standing Up pays homage to some wonderful Jewish Australians who have dedicated themselves to making our society and world better. Their stories, along with stories from Indigenous and refugee leaders, inspire us to do more and to give more. These incredible individuals demonstrate how much power derives from simply having an idea, running with it and turning a dream into reality.

Just over 20 years ago in Melbourne, a small group of committed Jews struggled with how to confront the genocide occurring in Rwanda. Rather than send aid as part of the general community rescue appeal, a new vehicle, Keshet (meaning Rainbow), was established to express the need for an identifiable Jewish response to this tragedy. The crisis in Rwanda abated, but the wish to contribute something to make the world a better place endured. Around our kitchen tables, with no paid staff, various ideas were hatched and acted upon, gradually building in audacity and scope.

A food rescue organisation was born and later blossomed into the thriving endeavour known as Fareshare, distributing over a million meals a year to the food insecure. In parallel, projects were undertaken with vulnerable groups such as homeless youth, Indigenous kids at school and foster children, trying to build bridges between those who have and those who are struggling.

As the organisation grew into Jewish Aid Australia and now known as Stand Up, our capacity and dreams grew.

Today, we are a thriving social justice organisation, harnessing the energy of hundreds of volunteers, and energetic and idealistic staff, to work with Indigenous communities in northern New South Wales, and the Yorta Yorta region, as well as with refugee communities from Sudan. Our many education programs, in a variety of Jewish schools are targeting students at all age levels, fostering passions to help others and get involved. We are inspiring and educating a new generation of Jewish leaders.

In his interview for this book, Stand Up's former Chair Danny Almagor refers to greats such as Margaret Mead: "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world." Danny states, "Those sentiments really resonate with me. It's the realisation that although you may think you're just one drop in a massive ocean, if enough drops decide to turn green, the ocean will be green, and there's got to be the first drop that chooses to change."

The people profiled here represent those drops in the ocean that together, have the ripple effect of making the world a better place. We hope their stories inspire you as they have us.

A good sun solution for sensitive lips!
Color: White, Size: 0.15 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Having sensitive lips can be super frustrating. They burn SO easily in the sun. But most sunscreen lip balms on the market irritate them. Those that don't irritate aren't moisturizing at all, so my lips become dry and chapped. Which leads to more sensitivity. Ugh. But so far this Sun Bum SPF 30 has worked for me! No sunburnt lips. No irritation. Enough moisture to keep my lips soft and healthy while working or playing outside. Sure, it's s not really pleasant tasting when it gets in your mouth, and like most zinc-based sunscreens, it makes my lips milky white. But it works for my picky lips and it's a good value for the money--it's become my summertime staple.

Hydrates, leaves a slight white film, not travel friendly
Color: White, Size: 0.15 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I wear lip balm regularly. As a matter of fact, I always have some with me. Tubes are placed in various areas around my house, I have one in my car, in my backpack and a couple tubes at work. I'm seriously never without it so I kind of consider myself a lip balm expert. The only thing most of the ones I use don't have is SPF. Since I live in an area that is fairly sunny year round, you think I'd be better about that. Well, I'm looking to change that. I saw this Sun Bum SPF 30 Mineral Sunscreen Lip Balm and read some of the reviews. They seemed overwhelmingly positive. I'm familiar with the brand and since it was covered under my HRA, decided to try this one out along with a few others. It glides on easily and moisturizes well, but it left a slight white film on my lips. Not my favorite but it did fade. It's unscented and doesn't have any flavor, which is good. I loathe lip balms with any type of taste to them. Good or bad. It has clean ingredients and offers great sun protection but it doesn't withstand heat itself. If you like to carry one in your pocket, backpack or keep in your car, it will melt. I do like this lip balm but it has some negatives, as stated above. It made my lips feel soft and hydrated but it's not travel friendly. I wouldn't discourage buying it, but if you want a balm to carry around with you, I'd be hesitant to recommend it.

Really works and it's safe.
Color: White, Size: 0.15 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I am a flats fisherman – this stuff really works, it's smooth, flavorless, reef-safe, and safe to lick. Reapply as often as you remember to.

Highly recommend. Any graininess and whiteness are minimal and insignificant.
Color: Blanco, Size: 0.15 Ounce (Pack of 2)
This is the best mineral(non-chemical) lip sunscreen I have found. Highly recommend. The first few times I used it, it felt ever so slightly grainy. Maybe the graininess rose to the top. Even if it was grainy all the way through, I would still recommend. There is a slight whitish cast to your lips-not noticeable or significant in my opinion. There is a very minimal flavor and it has a nice feel on your lips.

A must have for your summer bag
I am 100% devoted to Blue Lizard products! I got some extra sun and needed relief, fast. This non-greasy nor slimy cream is exactly what I didn’t know I was looking for. I had applied aloe alone to my skin and received no relief. Within minutes if not seconds of applying this, I had noticed improvement. The consistency is not too thick or too thin, it absorbs into the skin nicely and can be reapplied without getting cakey. It gave my sunburn relief while also moisturizing the skin. I haven’t peeled at ALL. I love that it has clean ingredients and a neutral fragrance. My skin is so sensitive, so having natural ingredients is a plus. Blue Lizard After Sun is now my holy grail and I will recommend it over and over.
