Židovská komunita v Sydney
The Sydney Jewish community, which dated to the earliest days of the colony, met in rented spaces before building its first synagogue, designed in Egyptian style by [[James Hume (architect)|James Hume]] in 1844.<ref>http://www.greatsynagogue.org.au/history.html</ref> It was the first [[Egyptian Revival]] building in Australia.<ref>[[Diana Muir|Diana Muir Appelbaum]], "Jewish Identity and Egyptian Revival Architecture", [[Journal of Jewish Identities]], 2012 5(2) p. 7.</ref>
The present synagogue has the traditional feature of an elevated ladies' gallery. When first erected, the [[Bema#Judaism|bimah]] was central, as is traditional. However, to increase seating capacity the bimah was moved forward to the western wall in 1906.
Over the years, extensive additions and alterations have been made to the other facilities appurtenant to this building, including the construction of a [[succah]], excavation and construction of a large reception area below the synagogue itself,
construction of the Rabbi Falk Memorial Library, installation of electricity in the chandeliers, and installation of a "[[shabbat]]" elevator.
A useful overview of the synagogue's history is provided by the recent book edited by [[Raymond Apple (rabbi)|Rabbi Raymond Apple]].<ref>Raymond Apple (Editor), ''The Great Synagogue: A History of Sydney's Big Shule'', UNSW Press, 2008</ref>
The building is listed on the [[Register of the National Estate]].<ref>''The Heritage of Australia'', Macmillan Company, 1981, p. 2/99</ref>
