Communities of Faith

tone’s Shul (synagogue),
Carlton, Victoria

The congregation was made up of devout believers who found comfort, warmth and companionship in their tiny synagogue. Here they celebrated the birth of a son, witnessed his debut as a man when he had his Barmitzvah at the age of thirteen and celebrated the weddings of their children. When a member of the congregation died, his fellow worshippers visited his home every night for a week to say prayers in his memory.
