Every day, these programs enrich the lives of the individuals and families in our local Jewish community – thanks to your support.

Adelaide Holocaust Museum and Steiner Education Centre

The Adelaide Holocaust Museum and Andrew Steiner Education Centre (AHMSEC) was launched in November 2020.

The vision of Andrew Steiner OAM, Holocaust survivor, artist, historian, and self-funded Holocaust educator for over 30 years in South Australia provided the starting point for AHMSEC.

The museum has an obligation to preserve Holocaust history to educate future generations through programs that instil human rights and develop ethical and social awareness of young people and the wider community.

Beit Shalom Synagogue

Beit Shalom, which is registered as Adelaide Progressive Jewish Congregation, was founded by a dedicated group of lay leaders in 1963 in response to the need for a Liberal Jewish presence in South Australia. After renting space for nearly 20 years, the congregation moved to its present home on Hackney Road in the late 1970s.

The congregation was founded on the principles of equality and openness among members. It is inclusive of race, gender, class, ethnic background, sex, sexual orientation and ability.

Adelaide Hebrew Congregation

The Adelaide Hebrew Congregation, established in 1848, opened its first synagogue in Adelaide in 1850. After 140 years of worship in Synagogue Place in the city, the congregation relocated to a beautiful new purpose-built synagogue at Glenside which can seat 300 people. The foundation stone of the new synagogue was laid in 1989 and at that time the old synagogue was the longest continuously used synagogue in the southern hemisphere. The congregation is one of the United Hebrew Congregations of the British Commonwealth and continues the Modern Orthodox traditions.

Jewish Community Services Inc.

JCS Home & Community Support (JCS) is a not-for-profit community organisation established in 1994. In the early days, JCS was known as Jewish Community Services Incorporated and provided support to individuals and families in South Australia’s Jewish Community.

JCS now focuses on providing quality in-home and community support services to frail and older individuals over the age of 65 who reside within the metropolitan areas of Adelaide.
