Dr MARJORIE O'NEILL (Coogee) — Mr Speaker, I rise today to celebrate and recognise the work of the Australian Jewish Historical Society and the City of Sydney in developing and recently launching the 'A Walk of Jewish Sydney' app. Recently, over 80 guests attended the launch of the app by the Australian Jewish Historical Society at The Great Synagogue. The app is a wonderful recognition of the rich Jewish history of our city and will be a fantastic addition for use by interested locals and overseas visitors. The app covers 45 points of Jewish interest around the centre of Sydney and is a 2020 update of Helen Bersten's 1995 book Jewish Sydney – the First 100 years 1788-1888. Congratulations to the Australian Jewish Historical Society and the City of Sydney for sharing this rich history to a new generation.
