John Monash (Monasch) born in Melbourne, Australia on 27 June 1865, the son of German Polish Jewish migrants, can be researched in any military history encyclopaedia or in fact by just ‘Googling’ his name on the internet. His history and list of achievements are long and far too many to detail in this brief summary. However, might I say that reading his history is well worth the effort and I can assure you that his deeds will amaze you. I have found that the deeds are better labelled on more than one man and in more than one lifetime.
An announcement was made in the weeks leading up to the Centenary of ANZAC by Judy Landau, President VAJEX Aust. She stated that it gave her great delight to announce that VAJEX Aust (Victorian Association of Jewish Ex & Servicemen & Women Australia Inc) has successfully raised the required funds to build a new Victorian Jewish Memorial after the style of the historic Memorial located in the Jewish section of the Melbourne General Cemetery. After an extensive two year process, Judy has single-handedly sought letters of support, raised the funds, and obtained approval from the City of Port Phillip.

Join us for our annual social get-together and enjoy a delicious meal with desserts and an entertaining guest speaker. The new buffet style milchig reception with open seating has resolved two important issues. The cost has come down considerably and you can sit where you like.
VAJEX Australia extends condolences to all bereaved families on the loss of their loved one and wishes long life and you should have only simchas. We are committed to honouring our fallen, whether the loss occurred while in service or after returning home from service.
Our volumes of the Books of Remembrance exist as one means of remembrance. A page is dedicated to all our fallen and one page is generated for each service or ex-service person. Families assist with providing the details and each page is uploaded on our website for family and friends to view at any time.
The Pages for our fallen from the last 12 months are dedicated each year at the Remembrance Reception. We invite family members to join us to place the page in the Book and light a candle to memory of their loved one. Any family member can be appointed to do this, or a VAJEX Australia representative can do it on your behalf while you are standing by.
Donations are appreciated to help further the vital role that VAJEX Australia plays in the Jewish community. We are all volunteers who feel privileged to give of our time to care for our veterans and their families and we exist only by the donations of generous people.
We would like to encourage families to further honour the memory of their loved one by joining our association as non-service members. We must have new members supporting us to keep VAJEX Australia viable. You can help do this in a very real way with ongoing membership.
