The City of Melbourne respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land we govern, the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong / Boon Wurrung peoples of the Kulin and pays respect to their Elders past and present. We acknowledge and honour the unbroken spiritual, cultural and political connection they have maintained to this unique place for more than 2000 generations.

We accept the invitation in the Uluru Statement from the Heart and are committed to walking together to build a better future.

Open House Melbourne - East Melbourne Synagogue

The only synagogue in Melbourne’s CBD, East Melbourne Synagogue is architecturally significant as an example of the fine work of noted Melbourne architects Crouch and Wilson. It has an imposing Renaissance Revival façade with the unusual addition of two octagonal domes flanking the central pediment, an intact tabernacle and unique glass-fusion windows.

Visitors are invited to view the sanctuary and mezzanine women's area and library on their own. Volunteers will be present to answer questions about the synagogue and Jewish faith and practice.
