Inspiring Jew from Today: Deborah Conway

Deborah Conway is one of Australia’s most respected and successful singer songwriters. For more than forty years she has been a central figure in Australian music, first with the band Do Re Mi and later through a long solo career that earned her awards, acclaim, and a loyal following.

After October 7, Conway spoke openly as a proud Jew and a Zionist. That decision changed everything. She was doxxed, abused online, and blacklisted by most of the Australian music industry. People who once admired her tried to erase her voice.

But she has refused to step back. Conway keeps performing, speaking, and defending the Jewish people with the same honesty that defined her music. She has paid a price for standing up, but she stands taller for it. Deborah Conway remains a proud and courageous Jew who will not be silenced.
