Tasmania . 170 Chapter 1: Introduction In Australia there are four Catholic cathedrals designed in the Romanesque style (Canberra, Newcastle, Port Pirie and Geraldton) and one Anglican cathedral (Parramatta). These buildings are significant in their local communities, but the numbers of people who visit them each year are minuscule when compared with the numbers visiting Australia's most famous Romanesque building, the large Sydney retail complex known as the Queen Victoria Building. God and Mammon, and the Romanesque serves them both. Do those who come to pray in the cathedrals, and those who come to shop in the galleries of the QVB, take much notice of the architecture? Probably not, and yet the Romanesque is a style of considerable character, with a history stretching back to Antiquity. It was never extensively used in Australia, but there are nonetheless hundreds of buildings in the Romanesque style still standing in Australia's towns and cities. Perhaps it is time to start looking more closely at these buildings? They will not disappoint. The heyday of the Australian Romanesque occurred in the fifty years between 1890 and 1940, and it was largely a brick-based style. As it happens, those years also marked the zenith of craft brickwork in Australia, because it was only in the late nineteenth century that Australia began to produce high-quality, durable bricks in a wide range of colours.

They will see that it too pos- sesses talent, the equal of the best endowed.” What kind of scorn had Modena experienced? In 1611 Thomas Coryat published a book about his impressions of Venice. He referred to the sing- ing in the synagogue as “exceeding loud yelling, indecent roar- ing, and as it were a beastly bellowing.” What was the basis for Modena’s optimism? “There has arisen in Israel, thank God, a very talented man, versed in the singer’s skill, who has performed music before princes, yea, dukes and nobles. He set the words of the psalms to music or- ganized in harmony, designating them for joyous song before the Ark.” Salamone Rossi, That man was the Jewish composer Salamone Rossi, who, the Mystery Man of Jewish Art Music Composers in 1622, produced the first book of its kind: a stunning setting by Don Harrán 5 of the synagogue service. “He is more talented than any other Rabbis, Politics, and Music: man, not only those of our own people, for he has been com- Leon Modena and Salamone Rossi pared with, and considered the equal of, many of the famous by Howard Tzvi Adelman 8 men of yesterday among the families of the earth.” Lord & Tailor: As we listen to Rossi’s music we become aware of the ex- Fashioning Images of Jews in Renaissance Italy traordinary accomplishments of the Jews in Renaissance Italy.

    Attachment B Modern Movement Architecture in Central Sydney Heritage Study Review Modern Movement Architecture in Central Sydney Heritage Study Review Prepared for City of Sydney Issue C x January 2018 Project number 13 0581 Modern Movement in Central Sydney x Heritage Study Review EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This study was undertaken to provide a contextual framework to improve understanding post World War II and Modern Movement architecture and places in Central Sydney, which is a significant and integral component of its architectural heritage. Findings x The study period (1945-1975) was an exciting and challenging era that determined much of the present physical form of Central Sydney and resulted in outstanding architectural and civic accomplishments. x There were an unprecedented number of development projects undertaken during the study period, which resulted in fundamental changes to the physical fabric and character of Central Sydney. x The buildings are an historical record of the changing role of Australia in an international context and Sydney’s new-found role as a major world financial centre. Surviving buildings provide crucial evidence of the economic and social circumstances of the study period. x Surviving buildings record the adaptation of the Modern Movement to local conditions, distinguishing them from Modern Movement buildings in other parts of the world. x The overwhelming preponderance of office buildings, which distinguishes Central Sydney from all other parts of NSW, is offset by the presence of other building typologies such as churches, community buildings and cultural institutions. These often demonstrate architectural accomplishment. x The triumph of humane and rational urban planning can be seen in the creation of pedestrian- friendly areas and civic spaces of great accomplishment such as Australia Square, Martin Place and Sydney Square.

Markovitz Dr. Susan K. Leshnoff, Advisor Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS IN MUSEUM PROFESSIONS Seton Hall University December 2008 Abstract As American society becomes more diverse, issues of ethnic self· consciousness are increasingly prevalent. This can be witnessed by the national expansion and development of ethnic museums. At least twenty-five museums representing different ethnicities are located in New York City alone. These museums reach out to their own constituency as a celebration of heritage and culture. In an effort to educate others and foster a greater understanding and appreciation of their culture, they also reach out to a diverse multi-cultural audience. Following suit, Jewish museums attract a diverse audience representing a variety of religions and ethnicities. Jewish Museums - A Multi-Cultural Destination explores how this audience is reached through exhibition and education initiatives.

  • Australia (1962)
    Australia' D'URIN, G the period under review (July 1960 to June 1961) the Liberal and Country coalition government, under Prime Minister Robert G. Menzies, adopted policies designed to check the boom of the previous year. The lifting of import controls, tight money, and reduced prices for primary products combined to slow business activity, and there was significant un- employment for the first time since World War II. Controversy developed over the immigration program. JEWISH COMMUNITY Australia's population exceeded ten million, the exact figure awaiting the publication of the census of 1961. The Jewish population, previously esti- mated at 67,000, was increased by some 1,200 immigrants from Europe dur- ing the year and by an unknown natural increase. Most Jews lived in Mel- bourne, Victoria (32,000), and Sydney, New South Wales (30,000). There were also 1,750 in Brisbane, Queensland; 1,300 in Adelaide, South Australia; 3,000 in Perth, Western Australia; 100 in Canberra, Australian Capital Ter- ritory; 100 in Hobart and Launceston, Tasmania, and a few in other provincial centers. As in previous years, Jewish immigrants came principally from Poland, Israel, Rumania, and Hungary. Some Jews began to arrive from South Africa, but since they were economically independent and required no visas, their number was not known. Community Organization and Activity For the basic structure of the Jewish community see AJYB, 1961 (Vol. 62), pp. 372-73. CJMCAG provided a total of A£115,650f of which about A£98,150 went for social services and A £.17,500 for education. Relief for immigrants and other major social services were handled by welfare societies in each state, united in the Australian Federation of Jewish Welfare Societies.
