East Melbourne Synagogue

It would be our absolute pleasure to host you in our serene sanctuary of prayer here in East Melbourne during these High Holy Days.

Our friendly shul runs a warm, engaging and welcoming traditional prayer service featuring many of the familiar songs and liturgies. The Rabbi provides a running commentary and gives direction for what to do in the service. We can also offer you a reserved seat, complimentary prayer books, a play area for children in the rear hall,  tea and coffee and a nice kiddush with refreshments after the service.

There are a couple of ways you can sign up:

• Synagogue Membership: If you wish to formally join the congregation and make use of all the perks of being a Synagogue member, you can become a member here. You will be assigned a seat and can attend any and every service.

• Guest Pass: If you just wish to attend as a visitor for a particular service (or services),  please fill out this form.  We would appreciate a donation (amount of your choosing) to support the operation of the Synagogue.

Service times and details will be conveyed once you communicate your interest.

We feel very strongly that a Shul by definition is open to all, and here at East Melbourne, we welcome everyone regardless of formal affiliation or contribution. We do, however, require that you pre-register for organisational and security reasons.

If Shul is not your thing, we have the shofar being sounded in at least two local parks across the afternoon of Rosh Hashanah. Click here for details.
