TZEDEKAH [Charity]
Earlier this year the board decided that it would be a good community move to support
some local charity, as well as any contributions we wish to make to essentially Jewish
charities.
To that end a box was placed in the foyer of the synagogue, in which could be placed
non-perishable items of food. These would then be delivered to the Hobart City
Mission, as a Jewish contribution.
If enough is donated then deliveries can be made monthly; if not, then a delivery can
be made to celebrate our main festivals of Pesach, Rosh Hashanah and Chanukah.
Please remember to bring your donations to the synagogue. However, if this is not
possible, please contact either myself Bill Stuart [
6227 8782] or Caroline Heard
[
6239 1590] to arrange collection of items.
It is intended to take the next delivery of non-perishable items to mark Pesach. There
will be collection boxes at the Seder.

Commemorative Service - Friday 13 May
It has been decided that a combined Yom HaShoah and 60th Anniversary of the Liberation
of Auschwitz Commemorative Service will be held in the Hobart shul on Friday 13 May.
His Excellency, the Governor of Tasmania, Mr William Cox, will be present. The service
will commence at 5.15pm. However, everyone should be seated prior to the Governor’s
arrival, so please arrive by 5.00pm. We hope to be joined by local and state
parliamentarians and dignatories.
This is an opportunity for all of us to reflect and remember the great sacrifices made by so
many during the Shoah years.
