TitelPamphlet for the Reconsecration of Memorabilia and Memorial Plaques from Bankstown
BeskrivelsePamphlet distributed for the Reconsecration of Memorabilia and Memorial Plaques from Bankstown and District War Memorial Synagogue on 2 August 1992. The booklet includes an order of service, various memorial prayers and listings of the plaques previously at Bankstown Synagogue.
Bankstown Synagogue was established in 1913 with an official opening of the building in 1914. After further growth in the area, a new Synagogue was designed by Harold Smith and built on Meredith Street, opening on 3 April 1960. In 1991, the synagogue was subject to an arson attack and was never rebuilt. The congregation later merged with Illawarra Synagogue, now Southern Sydney Synagogue.
Solomons Bakery was founded in 1890 by Harris Hymes Solomon. Solomon began baking matzah for his local community following the closure of a matzah company in Melbourne. Due to increased demand, he opened his first shop in Newtown, becoming the first matzah producer in New South Wales.
Solomons Bakery sold an array of baked goods, and his company R. Solomon & Co. produced matzah at his factory during the Pesach season. The factory produced other goods including spices, sippets, horseradish, noodles, breadcrumbs, cake mixes, and dried fruit.
The company was owned and operated by three generations of the Solomon family before it was sold to the Saltoon family in 1977. In 2004 Matzah production ceased in Australia due to increasing production costs and Israeli competition.
