Given the onset of unprecedented antisemitism that many Melbourne community members may be facing for the first time, there is a vast opportunity to provide tactical tools and real world solutions on how to best navigate this level of hatred. Brandon Farbstein provides a unique perspective, with his lived experience in the face of adversity in a world not designed for someone with a rare form of dwarfism. As a sought out thought leader and widely followed Jewish influencer, Brandon has leveraged his platform of over 250,000 followers to shine a light on antisemitism and provide greater awareness for the release of the hostages.

Brandon was recently part of a delegation in Israel where he met with former PM Neftali Bennett in addition to Rachel Goldberg, mother of American born hostage Hersh. His connection to the hostages is direct as he and Hersh went to preschool together. Brandon’s message of Tikkun Olam and empowerment on how to use your voice for change is especially relevant today.

In his inspiring keynote, Brandon provides tangible takeaways to audience members across generations on how they can live a Ten Feet Tall life no matter their physical stature or life circumstance. He shares how embracing our own uniqueness equips us to face life’s challenges with a sense of empathy and resilience.
