Lonely Planet review for Great Synagogue

The heritage-listed Great Synagogue (1878) is the spiritual home of Sydney’s longest-running Jewish congregation, established in 1831. It’s considered the Mother Synagogue of Australia and architecturally is the most important in the southern hemisphere. Tours include the AM Rosenblum Museum’s artefacts and a video presentation on Jewish beliefs, traditions and history in Australia. Don’t miss the starry gold-leaf ceiling (supported by 12 arches representing the tribes of Israel), and the French Gothic wrought-iron gates.
