“In July 2007, and August 2009, I undertook studies at Bat Kol Institute in Jerusalem. There I experienced a vibrant learning environment which broke open the Scriptures through an encounter with ‘the People, the Language, the Land, the Book.’ 

“Upon my return home to Sydney, Australia I drew together a team of people to pilot a grassroots strategy for awakening Catholics to the riches of their Jewish ancestry-in-faith through the love and study of Torah.

“ A collaborative partnership with Jack Driscoll, CFC, has further expanded this work which is presently based in Sydney with collaborative links in New York.

“We call this biblical apostolate Light of Torah.”
