The City of Melbourne Synagogue

Welcome to the East Melbourne Hebrew Congregation - the Jewish Heart of the City and the gateway to Jewish Melbourne. Known as the Melbourne City Synagogue, it is modern orthodox and the only Shule in the inner city area. The historic and architecturally significant synagogue is within walking distance from the city's hotels, hospitals and universities and serves as the City's Jewish Centre.
