Jews

There has been a Jewish community in Sydney since the beginning of European settlement. With the Jewish free settlers who arrived from the 1820s, they built businesses and congregations in Sydney. In the late-nineteenth century, a new group of Jewish immigrants arrived from Eastern Europe, fleeing pogroms and persecution. Jewish Sydneysiders were active in public life and in business, settling in the eastern and inner western suburbs. The community doubled in size after World War II as immigration increased, and the community developed new educational and cultural organisations as well as a broader range of religious congregations.
