The NSW Jewish War Memorial and Museum, established in 1965, is a significant institution within the Australian Jewish community. It serves as a hub for various communal organizations, including the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies. The Memorial is a three-storey office block that houses valuable capital assets and plays a crucial role in preserving the history and memory of Jewish Australians.
As a part of the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies, the Memorial is dedicated to promoting security, education, and social justice within the community. It is actively involved in advocating for the Jewish community’s interests in various sectors such as government, education, NGO, interfaith, and media. The Board of Deputies, through the Memorial, aims to provide resources and information to support the community during challenging times.
Aligned with the goal of fostering a united and secure NSW Jewish community, the Memorial is represented by elected councillors who oversee its operations and administration. The President of the Board of Deputies also serves as the honorary president of the War Memorial, highlighting the close relationship between the two entities. The Memorial’s presence on the land of the Gadigal of the Eora nation signifies its commitment to acknowledging and respecting the Indigenous heritage of the land on which it stands.
