Insight 2 The FUTURE of our It’s not the amount community of marble in your is reception, but the UNWRITTEN... relevance of your insight. This year’s Community Source magazine is of particular significance as JCA celebrates its 50th year. This is a collective celebration. It marks the time of our volunteers, the dollars of our donors and the leadership and vision of all involved who have helped shape our community over the past 50 years – a community that we are privileged to live in. This moment also gives us pause to think about our community’s future. A future that ensures a vibrant, secure and inclusive community in which our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren will thrive – a community that leaves no Jewish person in isolation and celebrates the combined diversity of our people, our culture and our heritage. 2017 is a chance for each of us to get involved, to give in whatever way we can, and help us write the next chapter.

This year’s Source magazine mirrors our community. It is a collaborative effort of individuals who have come together to tell a story that best represents who we are, what we do and all we hope for in our future. We would like to acknowledge the JCA team, our member organisations, our hard working volunteers across the many committees and project groups, all of whom have contributed to the creation of this magazine. Most importantly, we thank the contributions of each donor and volunteer whose generosity supports the activities of JCA and our member organisations and helps sustain our community.

OUR FUTURE 45 BEQUESTS & ENDOWMENTS

The ENDOWMENT is about honouring the MEMORY of my GRANDPARENTS, the HARDSHIP they experienced and to SHOW how that can be turned into something POSITIVE in order to try and LOOK TOWARDS THE future. LISA ECKSTEIN ON THE FUND THAT BEARS HER GRANDPARENTS’ NAMES

Szlamek and Ester Lipman were Holocaust survivors who regarded Australia as their Goldene Medina, the golden state. Their daughter and granddaughters felt that the best way to honour their memory and legacy was to maintain a connection to the community they love by establishing an Endowment Fund at JCA.

In recent years, the Szlamek and Ester Lipman Memorial Endowment Fund has funded two important temporary exhibitions at the Sydney Jewish Museum. The 2014 Signs of Life exhibiton, a collection of letters from the Holocaust, was a moving testimony to survival, with the humanity of handwriting never failing to produce tears amongst the thousands of Jewish and non-Jewish visitors. The exhibition embodied the wishes of the Lipmans, allowing younger generations to gain an understanding of what happens when man turns on man.

This year an exhibition Closer: Portraits of Survival, extends the idea of Signs of Life through the medium of photographs. 44 survivors have been photographed with artefacts connected to their Holocaust experience, from photos and letters to the few physical remains from their pre-war lives. It is stirring, and once more will keep the dreams of Szlamek and Ester Lipman alive.
