TítuloInvitation and ticket for Cecil Goldstein at the Centenary Year Interstate Sports Carnival
DescripciónInvitation and ticket for Mr Cecil M Goldstein to attend all functions and contests throughout the Centenary Year Interstate Sports Carnival, which was held in Melbourne from 26 December 1934 - 5 January 1935. The invitation came from the President, Executive and Committee of the Associated Judean Athletic Clubs (The AJAX), who hosted this event. This Jewish Sports Carnival saw the men's and women's Maccabean Sports Association (NSW) teams vs the AJAX (VIC) teams and the West Australian Zionist Athletic Club teams in cricket, gymnastics, tennis, swimming, athletics and basketball. There were also debates, dances, receptions, picnics and garden parties. At the time of this sports carnival, Cecil M Goldstein was the President of the Maccabean Sports Association. This invitation/ticket had to be presented for admittance.
The Maccabean Hall (The Macc) has played an important longstanding role in the life of Sydney’s Jewish community. Three key periods define its rich and varied history. It was conceived and established as a war memorial and community centre from 1918. From 1939 to 1960, it became a vital support structure for pre and postwar refugees, and in 1992 the concerns and the passions of Holocaust survivors transformed the Macc into the Sydney Jewish Museum. In the 1930s, countless recreational activities took place here: dances, social functions, concerts, revues, literary and dramatic events and sporting events were held for Sydney's Jewish community. Religious services held at The Macc included communal Succoth and Passover services.
A collection of invitations and tickets for events held in the Maccabean Hall was donated by Fran Goldstein. They belonged to her father Cecil Goldstein who was active in the community and held many positions in Jewish organisations, including President of the Maccabean Sports Association, President of the Maccabean Younger Set, Vice-President of the Sydney Judean Soccer League, Manager of Interstate Sports Carnival sports teams, Committee member of the Maccabean Gymnasium and Committee member of the Council of the NSW Jewish War Memorial. He was also half-back for the Maccabean soccer team and a member of the Tip Toppers club.
