Cremorne Synagogue

Ms FELICITY WILSON (North Shore) (19:49:33):

For almost 60 years Cremorne Synagogue has provided a strong foundation for Jewish residents in my electorate of North Shore. Under the leadership of Rabbi Chaim Koncepolski and his wife, Dina Koncepolski, Cremorne Synagogue continues to provide support and guidance for the Jewish community. The synagogue is nurturing ancestral connections and strengthening diversity by offering conservational Hebrew lessons for adults and children. I know the importance of providing support for parents with young children and I am proud to see Cremorne Synagogue running a playgroup to assist parents. Cremorne Synagogue is making a difference in the lives of our local Jewish residents. I am pleased to have supported them in the past by advocating for funding for a multi-purpose community space. Last year I had the privilege of lighting the Cremorne Synagogue Shamash candle for Hanukkah and I was delighted to be welcomed back for the recent dedication of a new handwritten Sefer Torah scroll. It was a very special and joyous occasion for the synagogue. I thank Secretary Brian Doobov, Rabbi Koncepolski and Dina Koncepolski for inviting me to celebrate with them.
