Be A Mensch

Now, more than ever, our societies need more individuals practising small acts of kindness, working towards making the world a more accepting and welcoming place. In other words, we need more mensches.
A mensch, in Yiddish, is a person of integrity, morality, dignity, with a sense of what is right and responsible.
The Sydney Jewish Museum's Be A Mensch campaign is a reminder of the impact that kindness, humility, integrity and personal responsibility can have on the world - small acts that can make a better society, one person at a time. Be A Mensch is a call for the lessons of history to inspire humanity and empathy.
