TitleCertificate awarded to Judith Freedman
DescriptionCertificate awarded to Judith Freedman, elected Patrol Leader of the Kangaroo Patrol Judean Company, Maccabean Hall, 30 May 1963.
The Maccabean Hall, affectionately known as The Macc, has been a cherished part of Sydney's Jewish community for 100 years. Established in 1923 as a war memorial and community center, it stands as a tribute to those who served in the 1914-1918 war. General Sir John Monash immortalized it as a place dedicated to preserving the Jewish faith and community.
Over the years, The Macc has been a vibrant hub for social activities, including meetings, lectures, debates, gymnastics and theatrical events. It has also been a place for building friendships, celebrating weddings, and marking rites of passage like bar and bat mitzvahs.
The areas upstairs in the Macc was a meeting place for the Judean Girl Guides where Judy Freedman was a guide patrol leader.
"The Macc has been part of the Freedman, Morris, Lewis Family history for at least 3 generations. While not being involved in its establishment, the venerable building has often been in the background of family events, smachot and communal activities involving family members." - Toby Hammerman.
