BeschreibungIlluminated address with gold leaf presented to Mrs. Henry Myers, Stall Holder, in recognition of her valuable service to the Hebrew Ladies Fancy Fair held 14 December 1875 in aid of the funds of the Great Synagogue Hyde Park. The Hebrew Ladies' Bazaar was initiated to raise money for the Great Synagogue building fund.
Most of the goods sold at the bazaar were donated by Sydney businesses and by the general public. In addition, the 'Hebrew ladies' of Sydney produced many fine specimens of clothing, embroidery, jewellery and toys for sale.
The Hebrew Ladies' Bazaar was open for only a week in December 1875, and was a great success. Over 10,000 people visited the bazaar. The entrance fees and sales of goods raised a profit of almost 5000 pounds, an impressive kick-start for the building of the Great Synagogue.
