Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleWearing a kippa and holding a Hebrew Bible, Josh Frydenberg is sworn in as Australia’s Minister for Resources, Energy and Northern Australia.
It is the third time the 44-year-old Liberal politician has used the Chumash to be sworn in to a government position, but the first time as member of the Federal cabinet.
To mark the occasion, the head of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry Peter Wertheim writes: “Both personally and on behalf of the Australian Jewish community, we wish to convey our heartiest Mazal Tov on your promotion to the Cabinet as Minister for Resources, Energy and Northern Australia. The entire Jewish community takes immense pride in your achievement.”
