Fundraising Appeal

The Ballarat Synagogue presents ‘160 Years of History in the Making’, dating back to the Victorian goldrush. The Synagogue was heritage listed in 1974. Over the decades the Synagogue has been a hive of activity, running both religious services and taking on an active role in the wider community. With the flourishing life of the Synagogue comes the responsibility of maintenance and heritage preservation for future generations.

To maintain its heritage status, the Ballarat Synagogue requires urgent repair work both inside and outside. This, in turn, requires considerable resources.
