Kew Hebrew Congregation
Jess WILSON (Kew) (09:56): This month I had the pleasure of visiting the Kew Hebrew Congregation. Thank you to Rabbi Shmueli Feldman for his time as we discussed the rise of antisemitism and the impact on the local Jewish community as well as the history of the synagogue and its congregation. The Kew synagogue has serviced Kew’s small but proud Jewish community since the mid 20th century. The main building is a testament to grand mid-century modern architecture, with beautiful stained-glass windows. Former Prime Minister and local federal MP Sir Robert Menzies laid the foundation stone of the site. Kew synagogue is a vital community centre for local Jewry, and I look forward to visiting again soon.
