Finding Light After Darkness

An evening of community support for the Darwin Jewish community

Wednesday, 13 May 2026 | 6:30pm

Darwin location to be advised

Chabad of RARA will be hosting a meaningful community support summit in Darwin in response to the collective trauma Jewish people may be feeling after the Bondi tragedy, and the ongoing impact of rising antisemitism since October 7.

This will be a warm and supportive space to come together, reflect, connect, and strengthen one another as a community.

Part 1: Community Evening

The evening will feature a powerful address by Sheina Gutnick, whose father, Ruvien Morrison, courageously fought back during the Bondi tragedy and was one of the victims who lost their life that day.

Sheina is the Public Affairs Advocate for the Combat Antisemitism Movement in Australia and is deeply committed to educating, empowering, and strengthening communities through resilience, advocacy, and meaningful dialogue.

Following the address, participants are welcome to join a group conversation facilitated by an experienced psychologist.

Part 2: Complimentary Mental Health Consultations

Complimentary 40-minute face-to-face consultations will be available on Wednesday and Thursday, 13–14 May 2026, with two qualified Jewish mental health professionals visiting from Melbourne.

Mushkie Gordon

A counsellor with over 10 years of experience supporting the Jewish community, and a passionate advocate for understanding and inclusion.

Candice Wainstein

A Clinical Psychologist with over 14 years of experience, using evidence-based therapies to support individuals facing complex challenges and strengthen mental health and coping skills.

Sessions are open to all, free of charge, and will be held in a warm, comfortable, and discreet setting.
