TIMES OF ISRAEL – With kippa on head, Josh Frydenberg takes oath of office on a Chumash given to him by former governor-general.

Wearing a yarmulke and holding a Hebrew Bible, Josh Frydenberg was sworn in as Australia’s minister for resources, energy and Northern Australia.

It was the third time that Frydenberg, 44, had used the Chumash to be sworn in to a government position, but the first time as a member of the federal Cabinet. The ceremony was held Monday morning.

The Bible was given to the Liberal politician by Sir Zelman Cowen, Australia’s second Jewish governor-general, who died in 2011. Cowen, who held the post from 1977 to 1982, was known to be a mentor to Frydenberg.

The Cabinet reshuffle was a result of the change in Australia’s political leadership when Malcolm Turnbull was elected prime minister by the Liberal Party last week following a challenge to Tony Abbott.

In 2013, Frydenberg was appointed as the parliamentary secretary to Abbott. The following year he was sworn in as Australia’s assistant treasurer. He used the Chumash for both swearing-ins.

Frydenberg lives in his native Melbourne and, like Turnbull, represents Kooyong, which is home to a large Jewish community.

The Executive Council of Australian Jewry published a special open message for Frydenberg.

“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,” ECAJ President wrote Robert Goot and Peter Wertheim, the president and executive director, respectively. “The entire Jewish community takes immense pride in your achievement.”

    allegiance, obedience, or adhe
    rence to a foreign power, or
    is a subject or a citizen or
    entitled to the rights or privileges

  2. #3 by Steve ,You sound like royal butt kisser, I would not swear allegiance to that foreign queen. When you look at our government they are all dishonest and them swearing on a Bible means stuff all..

  3. G’day Pilgrims,
    The so-called Australian Constitution is a sham as it is merely a part of a British Imperial statute and can legally be changed at any time by the British Parliament. Moreover, swearing allegiance to QEII is TREASON since she is the Head of State of a foreign power – Great Britain. Accordingly Josh Frydenberg and all others involved in the fraudulent and farcical processes involved in maintaining the charade which pretends to be a legitimate exercise of the governance and judicial functions of all Australian governments and courts, at ALL levels, are acting as traitorous fraudsters. We have it on good authority that a “man” cannot serve two masters. So, apart from the fact that Frydenberg can use the Kol Nidrei to negative ANY commitment he makes, the props he and others use in the performance of their fraudulent and treasonous “swearing” of allegiance to a foreign Head of State hardly matters, does it?

    There has never been a benefit for the American people with these
    “SPECIAL INTEREST” transactions.

    President Obama needs to call for (demand) a complete investigation
    into the Malfeasance in office, or official misconduct, is the commission of an unlawful act, done in an official capacity, which affects the performance of official duties. Malfeasance in office is often grounds for a, for cause removal of an elected official by statute.
    The Republican congress has openly defied the PEOPLE
    that elected our President twice. By direction of the
    majority leaders, they have blocked every proposal
    and action the President attempted for the benefit
    of we the people. Such has hampered the economic
    progress and National Security at home. At the same
    time spending outrageous amounts for foreign land
    & lobby. Making personal gains for themselves.

    Use the Canadian economic recovery, and amount
    spent on Defense, as a guide . Next being the difference
    of monies spent on infrastructure USA & Canada.
    Please start sending petitions to President Obama,
    and our Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch.

    Next,compare money spent on National Security by all other
    Countries. USA-$610 Billion. Next highest China–$132 Billion,
    Third highest Russia–$83.7 Billion.
    Next–Sale and distribution of weapons and to who.
    Who profits by such sales & Give away.
