A group of wealthy and influential Jewish leaders led by former treasurer Josh Frydenberg and his supporters is launching a fundraising vehicle expected to raise millions to fight antisemitism, including in schools and universities.

Mr Frydenberg, who is the chairman of Goldman Sachs in Australia, has warned that anti-Jewish hatred has spiralled “out of control”. He will chair the newly created Dor Foundation, a not-for-profit group to be led by the former NSW Crime Commission director Tahli Blicblau.
