The Great Synagogue: A History of Sydney’s
Big Shule is a beautifully designed
illustrated history of Australia’s oldest synagogue
and its congregation. Written by its emeritus rabbi,
Raymond Apple, and members of the congregation, it
spans the fascinating history of the Jews in Sydney,
from their arrival on the First Fleet – sixteen of
them as convicts – through to the construction of the
synagogue in 1878 and up to the present day.
Illustrated with numerous historical documents,
paintings and photographs, this book brings to life
the history of the most visited and visible Jewish
building in Australia and its congregation.
