Authority Biography/Administrative History

Bankstown Hebrew Congregation 1967- 1976

The Bankstown Synagogue (founded 1913) was burnt down through arson in March 1991, but one minute book survived, which dates from 21st July 1967 to 11th February 1976. Although mud stained, the minutes are clearly readable. Initially they were preserved in the Uniting Church Archives, before being passed on to the Archive. As the congregation was small, the synagogue was not rebuilt.
