Please note: This event was originally arranged at Newtown Synagogue community hall with the prior approval of the President and Board of the Synagogue and consistently with halachic advice that there is no rule against having a speaker on Shemini Atzeret, especially on social justice, a main message of the Torah. The Synagogue Board, however, had accidentally overlooked their own standing policy against using the hall on yom tov. They offered alternative dates but none within our tight timeframe. NIF Australia is grateful to Newtown Synagogue for their principled support on many occasions and this particular event has therefore been moved to Annandale Neighbourhood Centre.
