East Melbourne Hebrew Congregation, Orthodox synagogue in East Melbourne, Australia
The Renaissance Revival synagogue features a two-story structure with cast iron columns supporting an interior gallery and five bays separated by classical pilasters.
The congregation, established in 1857 under Reverend Moses Rintel, moved to its current Albert Street location where the synagogue was consecrated in 1877.
The synagogue maintains Jewish traditions through regular Shabbat services, religious festivals, educational programs, and community gatherings for its 200 member families.
Registration is required before attending services at this Victorian Heritage Register listed building, located near hotels, hospitals, and universities in East Melbourne.
Sir John Monash celebrated his Bar Mitzvah at this synagogue and participated in its choir before becoming a notable military commander.
