First prayers have already taken place this evening (Saturday night) in the synagogues in Sydney, the first in the world due to the time difference.
The evenings of forgiveness have returned in all their glory, and there is considerable movement in the events leading up to the Tishrei holidays at the central synagogue ‘Sydney’s Shul’. Rosh Hashanah and the holidays will also be held this year as usual.
This year, a special initiative was also added in the community, and as part of it, ‘thousands of Happy New Year kits and good health’ were distributed to thousands of children in hospitals in Australia, accompanied by dedications and wishes from the children of the community and a variety of gifts and surprises for the children in the hospitals – with the aim of lifting their spirits and bringing the holiday atmosphere within the walls of the hospitals.
Children with special needs were also included in the packaging and distribution.
“The community’s thirst to return to synagogues and events during the holidays is evident in the large number of people who sign up for pre-holiday events and the multitude of activities in the community,” says Rabbi Haim Livi, the rabbi of the community.
