JCA VOLUNTEERS RECOGNITION AWARDS GALA EVENT At a Gala Event held at the Horden Pavilion on 10th August the JCA 2010 Volunteer Recognition Awards were presented. The theme for the event was “giving back to the community” and this was superbly reinforced by the keynote speaker for the evening – Ronnie Kahn, the founder of OzHarvest. As a member of the JCA, the AJHS participated and the efforts of two of our long serving volunteers, Stella Marshall and Jeanette Tsoulos were recognised. There were also a number of our members whose services to other JCA organisations were recognised. These included - Anna Marks (B’nai B’rith), Ralph Hirst (Emanuel School), Jonathan Caplan, Harry and Ruth Cromer, Evelyn Platus, Jack Stern, John and Rose Temple (JCA), Sonia Gold (AJGS) , Rosa Israel (NCJW), Alexander Ferson, Gael Hammer (Sydney Jewish Museum), Maurice Finberg (Mount Sinai College). WILLYAMA By Noela Symonds. 1 Willyama at 2 Alfreda Street, West Bowral was one of four “Inter-War” Houses opened for inspection by the National Trust Southern Highlands Branch during Heritage Week in April. The house was built in 1924 for Morris and Celia Symonds. At the time they had a home on the corner of Victoria Road and Rivers Street, Bellevue Hill also called Willyama meaning ‘a place on the hill’ (the Aboriginal name for Broken Hill). In 1928 they moved to Bowral permanently. Morris Symonds was born on 18 December 1869 in Kovno, Lithuania. He was the youngest of seven sons and the family emigrated to London in 1877 to avoid conscription into the Czar’s army. Morris arrived in Sydney on 26 December 1888 on the Port Victor. He married Celia Goldstein at The Great Synagogue on 6 September 1891 and they lived at Manly and Randwick before moving to the Victoria Road house. Morris began a second hand furniture business and from there moved into retail furniture. In 1905 he bought a six-story building at 266-274 Pitt Street. The family used to visit Bowral, staying at Miss Nellie Brennan’s Arankamp guest house and Morris bought approximately 20 acres from the Arankamp holding to build Willyama. A cottage was also built for his grandchildren. Morris Symonds was President of The Great Synagogue from 1929 to 1932 and Senior Vice President of The Australian Zionist Federation. He was a generous contributor to Jewish and non-Jewish causes. When he died in 1933 the house was leased until 1939 and then sold. In 2007 when the present owners, Paul Jenkins and Elizabeth Eastland, found Willyama it was about to be demolished by developers. This did not proceed due to their opposition and that of their neighbours. The house was very neglected and Paul and Elizabeth spent three years restoring as much as possible of the original house. The exterior remains the same and a complimenting extension has been added. The beautiful interior leadlight sliding doors and butler’s pantry are still in excellent working order. The leadlight windows remain a feature in the front. Fireplaces were restored and original colours in the polished floors were found. Anxious to know more about Willyama’s original owner and its history, Elizabeth contacted the Australian Jewish Historical Society and spoke to Helen Bersten. Helen rang my husband Len, a grandson of Morris, and he contacted Elizabeth. The families have kept in touch since 2007 with Len and I attending the National Trust Open Day on 22 April 2010. SOMETIMES I GET LUCKY. By Jeannette Tsoulos, genealogist. Genealogical research can be lengthy and not always successful. Occasionally, however, fate intervenes to produce a surprising result. Over the years I have carried out research for Therese Saville, whose late husband, Richard, was distantly related to me. She, in turn, was corresponding with another family member, a priest in Forbes, Father Peter King, who had been told that I worked with the Society. Last month, Father King sent a photo of a solitary Jewish tombstone in a tiny cemetery in Mt Hope, in western NSW, an old mining town, and asked what the Hebrew inscription meant. He had seen the grave many years before and had always wondered about its young occupant, Ephraim Joseph, who was buried so far from any Jewish community. When he overheard a fellow townsman say he was going to visit Mt Hope, he asked him to photograph the grave. Some months prior to this, I had received a query from a woman seeking information about her great- uncle, who had arrived from Baghdad with his brothers in the late 1800s and disappeared without trace. They had changed their name from Shellim to Joseph, and she only knew her great-uncle as Frank. Despite the family tree she sent me, and the efforts of Dr Myer Samra, who knew Sydney's Baghdadi Jews, I had been unable to find out more for her. 2 The priest's photo then arrived and I took it to Professor Alan Crown for translation. As the inscription began to reveal its secrets, the hairs stood up on the back of my neck. "...Son of Jacob Moses Shellim… born in Baghdad 28 years ago..." The data in the inscription matched that in the family tree. The grave belonged to the woman's lost great-uncle! DO YOUR ANCESTORS RESIDE IN COUNTRY NSW? With spring and the warmer weather is just around the corner, it is the time of year when members like to go driving in the country. If you are interested in visiting Jewish cemeteries and burial sites, here is a list of those throughout country New South Wales. Albury Drayton Kyogle Orange Bombala Evans Head Liverpool Port Macquarie Broken Hill Forster Macksville Shoalhaven Canberra Gol Gol Maitland Walgett Cobar Hay Narrabri Wyalong Henty Newcastle Young DUNERA ARTICLE The Canberra & District Historical Society Journal May 2010 published an article written by Patricia Clarke, former editor. The article highlights the role of Eilean Giblin, a member of the Australian delegation to the International Women’s Suffrage Alliance Congress in 1923, who campaigned in 1940 for the release of the Dunera deportees. She had been contacted by a friend of Peter and Erich Stadlen and Stefan Petoe who were interned in London as enemy aliens. LOST, STOLEN OR STRAYED? Some years ago Rabbi Apple was given an incomplete manuscript by the late Rabbi Shmuel Gorr on the subject of Orthodoxy in Australia. He showed it to the late Morris Forbes and possibly to others. The whereabouts of the manuscript is now unknown. If anyone can help to find it, please email Rabbi Apple at [email protected]. GIFT SUBSCRIPTIONS. Instead of a tie or a bottle of perfume or chocolates or flowers, why not give something really worthwhile to honour a birthday, barmitzvah, wedding anniversary etc...
