TitreTicket to the "5th Annual Red & White Ball"
DescriptionTicket to the "5th Annual Red & White Ball", held at the Maccabean Hall, Darlinghurst, on Tuesday, 19 June 1934, from 9 pm to 2 am, where Minnie Rosenthal's Orchestra would be performing. This event was presented by the Maccabean Literary and Dramatic Juniors, under the distinguished patronage of their Excellencies, the Governor-General (Sir Isaac) and Lady Isaacs.
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.
