PRESIDENT’S PIECE
We’re now into winter (I’m sitting here warm and snug writing this on the first [official] day of winter!)
Admittedly, it is harder to prise ourselves away from our heaters and /or fires but be assured … there’s still
plenty going on in our community. Debbie Garrick has resurrected our “Theme” events – please see our
webpage – www.hobartsynagogue.org and the June diary/calendar sheet for full details of date, time and
venue. “Theme” events and speakers are being organized for July and August.
NCJW [National Council for Jewish Women] is getting started (please see NCJW article within this
“Chaverim”) and there’s the Hobart Synagogue Ladies Group too – please contact Sandy Graetzer
(
6223 7993) in August for news of that Group’s next meeting.
Our BIG news for this edition is our “Music Event” on Sunday 27 June 2004 at 11.30am in the Hobart
shul. Please come along and hear some wonderful music/singing …… The Tasmanian Song Company,
Len Mahemoff accompanied by Robyn Lenn. You will see the programme on the ‘flyer’ in this
“Chaverim” … please put the ‘flyer’ in a prominent place in your home as a reminder of this wonderful
concert.
Len Mahemoff is the Federal Bequest Director of the JNF; what is not generally known is that he has a
truly magnificent voice! He sings in Sydney and we are very fortunate that recently he has been
practicing with Robyn Lenn as his accompanist: what luck that they’re both in Hobart at the same time!!
Enough from me ……… I hope you enjoy this edition of “Chaverim” and I should like to conclude by
once again thanking everyone throughout our small community for helping in so many ways to make all
our lives better and brighter.
Shalom
Caroline

Your President (Caroline Heard) along with Board
Member David Clark, attended the Ministerial
Announcement “on site” at the (previously named)
“Windsor Court” redevelopment…. The new name
for the complex will be “WALFORD Terraces”, a
name which has been chosen by the State Housing
Department for the redeveloped site. This name
honours Bernard Walford who was instrumental in
obtaining the Governor-of-the-day’s approval for a
Jewish Burial Ground in 1828. Co-incidentally,
Bernard Walford died shortly thereafter and became
the first Jew to be buried there.
