Author(s) Adele Rosalky AbstractThis article was originally delivered as an Australian Jewish Historical Society ACT presentation on 12 December 2021 to mark the 70th anniversary of the ACT Jewish Community and the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Mona and Louis Klein Wing of the National Jewish Memorial Centre in Canberra. It gives a personal reflection on 70 years in the community by Adele Rosalky, President of Australian Jewish Historical Society ACT. The focus of the narrative is Earle Hoffman's work in the community. Earle Hoffman OAM, the author's father, was instrumental in the founding and development of the Community. The talk was followed by the launch of a commemorative booklet, ACT Jewish Community: 70 Years, Highlights & History by Adele Rosalky and Sylvia Deutsch OAM, Canberra, ACT Jewish Community Inc., 2021, which presents a much-expanded version of this article.
