Australian Jewish dental group Alpha Omega

Alpha Omega was first established in the USA in 1907 by a group of Jewish dental students wanting to fight discrimination and anti-Semitism in the dental schools.

It has since grown to the second biggest dental organisation after the FDI with over 15,000 members worldwide with chapters in North and South America, Europe, Israel, South Africa and Australasia .

It established and helps maintain the two dental schools in Israel, at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and in Tel Aviv, and assists in dental and other humanitarian programs around the world.
