Author(s) AbstractIn a letter to the London Jewish Chronicle from Great Bourke Street, Melbourne, under date September, 1853, Mr. Henry Harris writes: Knowing your desire at all times to give publicity to every circumstance which occurs relative to our holy religion, even in this remote part of the world, I embrace this opportunity of communicating the particulars of a very interesting ceremony which took place on Sunday the 4th instant (September 1853) in the Melbourne Synagogue, that day having been appointed for the reception of a very elegant Sipher (Scroll of the Law) presented by Sir Moses Montefiore (the great Jewish philanthropist of the age), through his relative Mr. Jacob Montefiore of this city.
