Evening, morning and afternoon services are held on all festivals and major fast days, with communal dinners or celebrations as appropriate.

Succot
A communal dinner is held in the Succah adjoining the Rabbi’s home next to the Synagogue.

Erev Simchat Torah
There is a joyous celebration hosted by the Chatanim followed by more celebrations and a communal lunch the following day.

Chanukah
Always features a party for children with candle lighting, singing and many activities

Purim
There is always the traditional megillah reading in the evening and morning with a celebratory Kiddush and activities for children during the day.

Pesach
We hold a communal seder, usually on the second night, which provides an opportunity for those without a seder to attend to enjoy a memorable Pesach experience. The communal seder is structured so that it is child-friendly, ie it is fun and does not go on too long, so that people of all ages can benefit from the event .

Anzac Day Service
Held on a Shabbat close to Anzac Day, is an important opportunity to remember the fallen in the world wars, as the Synagogue was originally dedicated as a war memorial. The service is attended by local members of parliament and other dignitaries and always features a key-note address and a Kiddush or lunch to follow.

Shavuot
Features a communal dairy dinner prepared by the community which is followed by a study session on a broad range of topics delivered by members of the community.
