Let Everything That Has Breath Praise the Lord: 7 Hebrew Words for Praise by Ps Norman Miller
Praise and worship are important to come closer to God and to give Him thanks and due honour. It is also important for breakthrough in our circumstances. Discover the 7 Hebrew words for praise that can transform your life. Praise can be quiet worship or shouts of praise. It can be giving thanks and adoration to God.
It can be raising hands or clapping hands and using many types of instruments, even the didjeridoo or clapsticks or shofar. It can involve dance and use of flags and banners. We can flow into spontaneous worship led by the Holy Spirit and even write new songs. Above all it is connecting with God and uplifting for our souls.

“If I Survive.” This thought haunted Lena. Her loved ones were cruelly forced from her arms in the Warsaw Ghetto in Poland and perished in Treblinka Death Camp. This is a true story of Holocaust survival. In ww2 books, it is a searing story of human rights abuses and genocide.
The story of Nazi Germany and the Jews is a story of anti-Semitism, Nazi concentration camps, gas chambers and World War 11 (wwii). The Warsaw ghetto where the Nazis had imprisoned the Jews was being emptied as Hitler’s Final Solution to murder all of European Jewry was put into action. Lena kept thinking, “It’s my turn next.” As some Jews escaped Treblinka and exposed it as being a death camp not a labour camp, young men and women in the ghetto decided to make a stand.
May God bless you and Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to those who celebrate it!
We are sorry it has been such a heartbreaking time with the Bondi Beach Massacre. We did not plan to put out another newsletter before the end of the year but wanted to express our heartfelt condolences to our Jewish readers. If we can help in any way, please let us know.
PRESS RELEASE – Albanese and Wong provided the ammunition for the massacre at Bondi 16.12.25
“PM Albanese didn’t fire the guns at Bondi Beach but he and Foreign Minister Penny Wong provided the ammunition with their continual criticism of Israel since Oct 7 even before Israel responded to the horrific attack by Hamas and Gazans where 1200 Jews and others were slaughtered,” said Norman and Barbara Miller, Co-founders of Indigenous Friends of Israel International.
“Now we have 15 people dead and many still in hospital, six of them in a critical condition including children and police. We have two beloved Rabbis, a Holocaust survivor and a 10-year-old girl called Matilda among those dead and a survivor of Oct 7 injured. While it had been predicted by the Jewish community, it was a shock and has been very traumatic for them as they are simply not safe in Australia to our shame.
“The government’s criticism of Israel and their inaction against the following – the rhetoric of radical Islamic hate preachers calling for jihad, the taking over of streets in major capital cities every weekend for over two years by pro-Palestinians inciting genocide with chants of “From the River to the Sea” and carrying terrorist flags, antisemitic attacks on synagogues, homes, cars, businesses and a child care centre, doxxing and cancelling of Jewish creatives, camps and intimidation of Jewish students and lecturers at universities etc. – has given social licence to antisemitism and normalised it. There has been little or no consequence.
“Warnings by the Jewish community and ASIO have been ignored. The recommendations of the Sky News/Executive Council of Australian Jewry Antisemitism Summit in Sydney in February which we attended have been ignored. Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal’s report with a detailed plan of action has been ignored. Albo, Wong and Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke have no political will to tackle antisemitism as it might upset the government’s Muslim voting base.
“Our hearts grieve with the Jewish community who have been model citizens of Australia and deserve protection, respect and friendship. We thank all those who rushed in to help on Sunday night. We hope this will be a turning point for serious action on antisemitism and blood should not have had to flow to bring it. Gun reform alone will not cut it.
“We would like to see Albo change from being a Chamberlain who appeased Hitler to a Churchill who took the fight to Hitler ‘…whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender …’” It is not enough to sanction the neo-Nazis but all who are antisemitic need to be sanctioned whether they are from the left or the right.”

Gofundme for Schools Antisemitism Education
There is currently no dedicated, age-appropriate antisemitism education in Australian primary schools—only optional anti racism or holocaust or multicultural education. Please help us while we continue to develop this and work on its implementaton. See HERE
Our expert curriculum writer Shoshana Linnane has developed 10-week modules for Grades 1-2 and 5-6. These lessons use the story of a 7-year-old Jewish refugee girl from the kindertransport during World War II to help children understand what it means to be displaced, excluded, or vulnerable. The modules foster empathy, compassion, and respect for diversity through activities like art, music, and drama, and align with the national curriculum. We want all children to grow up in safe, inclusive communities where they learn to treat others fairly and without discrimination.
If you believe in building a future where every child feels valued and racism has no place, please consider supporting our fundraiser. Even a small contribution or sharing this opportunity to help would make a difference.

NEW SCHOOLS ANTISEMITISM PAGE ON IFII WEBSITE
Photo of the launch of the Schools Antisemitism Education Project in July 2025 with Rabbi Ari Rubin, the Nehl family and Norman and Barbara Miller at the Munganbana Aboriginal Art Gallery Cairns.
There is now a dedicated page on our website to this project which has been going just over a year and we have 3 units ready to roll out across Australia – Grade 1 and 2, Grade 3 and 4 and Grade 5 and 6. Positive reviews are coming in from teachers and we are approaching schools to pilot the units in term 1 next year. Are you a teacher or parent who is interested? Please contact us.
The Nazis shatter glass and shatter the lives of European Jews at Kristallnacht, the start of the Holocaust. An Australian Aboriginal, William Cooper, leads the campaign for civil rights for his people who are dying of poverty and mistreatment around him. 1938; two worlds, far apart. Cut to the core after Kristallnacht, can he do anything to stop it?
Described as Australia’s Martin Luther King, Cooper leads the Australian Aborigines’ League on a protest to the German Consulate in Melbourne. Would the Third Reich pour out its wrath on them? Would they make a difference?
A Chair of Resistance to the Holocaust was named in honour of Cooper at Yad Vashem. His grandson, Alf Turner, becomes passionate about fulfilling his grandfather’s unfinished business and taking the protest to Berlin itself. How will he be received?
This true story will inspire you to stand up and be counted and to make a difference.

26 OCTOBER — NATIONAL RALLY Australians Against Antisemitism 📍 Across the Nation – Stand United! 💙✡ One People. One Voice. No Hate.
A Declaration of Solidarity with Israel from the Indigenous and Diverse Communities of the Pacific Rim
We recognize the Jewish people as the Indigenous stewards of the land of Israel, their ancestral homeland, where their history, culture, and spiritual legacy have been rooted for millennia. This indigeneity resonates deeply with our own connections to land, tradition, and resilience, forging a sacred bond between our communities and the Jewish people. We honor Israel not only as a homeland but as a beacon of morality, kindness, and grace—a nation that exemplifies the highest standards of humanity in the face of unparalleled challenges.
Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Rim not only have a shared indigeneity with Jewish people but the shared experience of tribal societies, close family relations, attachment to land and closeness to nature. We also have shared experiences of colonisation, dispersion, ethnic cleansing, persecution, discrimination, marginalisation, trauma and the need for resilience.
Despite this, our cultures and spirituality remain strong. We applaud the Jewish people that they have been able to retain their religion and culture, revive their language and decolonise their land with the rebirth of the state of Israel in 1948 forming the only democracy in the Middle East. See more https://indigenousfriendsofisrael.org/sign-the-declaration/
Norman and Barbara have have continued to have a number of successful meetings with state and commonwealth education authorities over our School Antisemitism Education Project. We are in the process of discussions with a number of schools as well. So please if you know any primary schools that would be interested in becoming part of a pilot program to test it before it gets rolled out nationally, please let us know. Also, if you know of any funding options, please let us know as we are all working voluntarily including our expert curriculum writer Shoshana Linnane.

Hope and Victory over Evil, the Assassination of Charlie Kirk by Ps Barbara Miller 13.9.25 https://youtu.be/SwpYZwiS5rM
When I prayed at the end of this message for viewers to open their hearts and receive Jesus as their Saviour and fill that void or hole or God-space in their lives, Judy Miller who was present, saw a vision of the book of life in heaven with names being entered into it so I thank God for that. She said that when I go to heaven, people will tell me that they are there because of me.
I think this is even much more so with Charlie Kirk who opened the door of heaven for many people while he was alive so their names would be written in the book of life (eternal life). After his death, his message will bring many many more to turn their lives around and accept Jesus.
John 12.24 New Living Translation “I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat is planted in the soil and dies, it remains alone. But its death will produce many new kernels—a plentiful harvest of new lives.” Charlie loved God passionately, loved Israel passionately, loved his wife and children and nation passionately and promoted traditional Judeo-Christian values which are now counter-cultural.
He founded Turning Point and changed the lives of many young people. His death will be a turning point. While many on the left mocked, others on the left said they could not continue on the left after this callous response. Many wept and said they would follow in Charlie’s footsteps. Some commentators have said this is an issue beyond left and right wing but is good versus evil and so it is. Charlie ran the good race and won and is now with Jesus. HIs wife Erika, despite her grief, has vowed to carry on, saying her cries would become a battle cry. We pray for his wife and children, family and friends and also for the family of the killer who will be grappling with this tragedy.
CAIRNS FESTIVAL PARADE MUNGANBANA ABORIGINAL ART GALLERY FLOAT
Munganbana Norman likes to put a float in the Cairns Festival Parade each year and this year on Sept 30, the Lions of Zion from Melbourne joined us on the float. Norman called the float Let’s Dance and made a large Dancing Brolga and a large Dancing Dolphin. You can’t see the Dolphin in the photo but you can see a large Nemo or Clownfish. Norman’s family helped him again this year decorating the float.
The vision Norman had for the float was to sing and/or play the music of Christian songs and songs with good values over the city where thousands lined the streets to watch and wave. Norman particularly wanted to sing the song Jerusalema over the city, which he did to honour the holy city which is the throne Jesus will rule from for 1,000 years.
We look forward to the heavenly Jerusalem coming down over the earthly Jerusalem. Norman had asked some African dancers to join us behind the float because Jerusalema is in African but they didn’t make it. What was higly significant is that Lions of Zion from Melbourne – Isaac, Joshua and Anthony (pictured) and their families joined us which was wonderful.

PRESS RELEASE RE AUSTRALIA’S RECOGNITION OF PALESTINE 11.8.25
“The blood of Australian soldiers stained the soil of the Holy Land to free it from the colonial rule of the Ottoman Empire and their German allies in World War 1,” said Cofounders of Indigenous Friends of Israel International Foundation Ltd, Norman and Barbara Miller. “The bones of our soldiers lie in Commonwealth War Graves in Israel and Gaza.
“The ANZACs were feted by the Netanyahu Israeli government at the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Beersheba (Be’er-Sheva) on 31 October 2017. We were there, leading an international team, as Australian descendants of the light horsemen, in uniform, rode their horses through the city. We watched with excited crowds as they reenacted the famous charge that opened the way to the liberation of Jerusalem after centuries of Islamic occupation.
“But now Australia has turned its back on Israel by deciding today to recognize Palestine, committed to the destruction of Israel and the genocide or removal of its Jews.
“The Australian government plans to do this at the UN meeting in September along with France, the UK and Canada, joining 147 nations who have already done so. However, Palestinians do not want a two-state solution. They want a one-state solution, all of Israel with Jerusalem as their capital.
“So, do we want it on our conscience that we are recognizing a terror state that has gloated over and vowed it will repeat the October 7 civilian massacre, rape, torture, and kidnapping war crimes over and over again?”See rest HERE
Statement by Sarah and Daniel Rabin of Caulfield Shule on Facebook 4.8.25
“At a time when many in our community are feeling shaken by the rise of hate, the silence of some, and the fear that Australia is losing its way, we were reminded that we are not alone.
This week at @caulfieldshule , we were deeply moved by a visit from Norman and Barbara Miller. Norman, an Aboriginal artist, presented us with two hand-painted sticks, adorned with the colours of the Aboriginal flag and the flag of Israel, wrapped in a yellow cloth as a tribute to the hostages still in Gaza.
Norman spoke of the prophecy in Yechezkel (Ezekiel), the vision of two sticks becoming one in G-d’s hand, a symbol of unity, healing, and strength. His message was powerful: the people of Israel are strong, our story endures, and we are not abandoned.
This gift was more than art. It was a gesture of solidarity. A reminder that there are brave and moral voices, Indigenous leaders and many others, who stand with us.
To Norman and Barbara, and to all who refuse to let hate speak louder than truth, thank you.
And to our community: take heart. We are part of a sacred story that continues with faith, unity, and courage. Am Yisrael Chai”

TRIP TO MELBOURNE 28 JULY – 3 AUGUST 25
Thanks to the financial support and prayers of our family, Pastor Shirley, our mother, and our sisters and brother, we were able to go to Melbourne for a week to gather support for our Schools Antisemitism Education Project and attend the 100th anniversary of the Australian Friends of Hebrew University hosted by our friend Rob Schneider, its CEO. It was jam-packed and fruitful.
As well as meeting with the Victorian Education Dept face to face. we did a teams meeting with a senior advisor to federal education minister Jason Clare. We were privileged to listen to Jack Leder, a Holocaust survivor, speak to students and see the exhibition at the Melbourne Holocaust Museum and return for a meeting with their education officer. Barbara had already spoken to Courage to Care CEO, Mike Zervous, before we left Cairns.
We spoke to Alon Cassuto, CEO of the Zionist Federation of Australia, Ginette Searle, CEO Zionist Victoria and Natalie Gunn, Elie Esakoff and Tomas Goldstein, ECAJ, Joel Burnie, Executive Manager and team AIJAC, Sebastian Irwentarz, Director of Strategic Operations JCCV, the National Council of Jewish Women, Simonne Oberklajd Whine from J-United, Philip Bliss, Council of Christians and Jews and the Lions of Zion.
We were blessed to visit Rabbi Moshe Kahn thanks to Sylvie Jones and to speak briefly before the Friday night Shabbat service at the Caulfield Shule of Rabbi Daniel Rabin where Norman made a clapsticks presentation. We caught up with old friend Abe Schwarz while there. We were also blessed to speak at Celebrate Messiah’s Messianic service on Saturday and catch up with our old friends Rabbi Lawrence Hirsch and Louise Hirsch and David and Carol Jack.
The Australian Friends of Hebrew University and Stand Up events were very interesting. We caught up with friends Eli and Jill Rabinowitz who flew in from Perth just before we flew out. They have been advising us on our Schools Antisemitism Education Project. We believe we made good progress on our project on our visit.

Gofundme for Schools Antisemitism Education
There is currently no dedicated, age-appropriate antisemitism education in Australian primary schools—only optional anti racism or holocaust or multicultural education. Please help us while we continue to develop this and work on its implementaton. See HERE
Our expert curriculum writer Shoshana Linnane has developed 10-week modules for Grades 1-2 and 5-6. These lessons use the story of a 7-year-old Jewish refugee girl from the kindertransport during World War II to help children understand what it means to be displaced, excluded, or vulnerable. The modules foster empathy, compassion, and respect for diversity through activities like art, music, and drama, and align with the national curriculum. We want all children to grow up in safe, inclusive communities where they learn to treat others fairly and without discrimination.
If you believe in building a future where every child feels valued and racism has no place, please consider supporting our fundraiser. Even a small contribution or sharing this opportunity to help would make a difference.
From the River Jordan to the Sea of Galilee by Ps Norman Miller 9.8.25 Though many who chant Free Palestine don’t realize which river and sea they are talking about, it is from the River Jordan to the Mediterranean Sea. Ps Norman wanted to share here about the Sea of Galilee in a message the Lord put on his heart. See video HERE https://youtu.be/brGxsRhUVrI
Please get involved! We need your help!
We would love to connect with you and help you support Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East, working against calls for its destruction and the genocide of its people. These calls are advancing at great pace since October 7. Indigenous Friends of Israel formed in July 2017 because of concerns over Australia’s policy towards Israel. Since then we have gone international as antisemitism is international and isan ancient hatred. The forces standing against Israel also oppose Western and/or Judeo-Christian values which have helped us achieve a society with social cohesion and the rule of law.
Please help us take a stand against antisemitism, and for a community where all are valued and safe. There are many opportunities to use your passion, gifting and skills as a volunteer whether you are a person of faith or not. United we stand and divided we fall. Please complete the form to volunteer.
Are you good at creating or sharing social media, fundraising, administration, film and video making, government advocacy, newsletters, speaking, representing a geographical area, organising zoom meetings or do you have other giftings or talents that you can use to bless the Lord, the Jewish people, and Israel.
