A specially commissioned art glass Seder plate and a ruby Bohemian glass Kiddush cup, a silver, brass and gilt pair of rimmonim and a silver circumcision knife, the earliest Australian Jewish marriage records and the portraits of the first bride and groom from that list – Sydney's The Great Synagogue’s heritage collection is vibrant and diverse.
Three generations of the descendants of Rabbi Leib Aisack Falk have participated in the opening of an exhibition at The Great Synagogue on masterpieces from the Falk Library.
One of the oldest printed copies of the Hebrew Bible, a beautifully illuminated Koran, a Psalter dedicated to Queen Victoria, a book by the “father of Australian music” Isaac Nathan and the first Chumash to be brought to Australia are all part of a new exhibition at Sydney's The Great Synagogue.
