Melbourne Hebrew Congregation, Orthodox synagogue in East Melbourne, Australia
The East Melbourne Hebrew Congregation occupies a Renaissance Revival building with a two-story layout, cast iron columns, and galleries surrounding the main hall.
Established in 1857 under Reverend Moses Rintel, the synagogue moved to Albert Street and consecrated its current building in 1877, making it Melbourne's oldest synagogue.
The synagogue maintains regular Shabbat services, festival celebrations, and educational programs including Hebrew language courses and religious instruction for community members.
Registration for services requires advance notice and security clearance, with current membership consisting of approximately 200 families from the inner-city area.
Sir John Monash celebrated his Bar Mitzvah at this synagogue and participated in its choir before becoming a notable military commander and civil engineer.
