The Great to celebrate its 140th
February 4, 2018 by Henry Benjamin
Sydney's The Great Synagogue is the spiritual home of Australia's oldest congregation established in 1844 and is to celebrate the 140th anniversary of its current location built in 1878.
The oldest synagogue in Australia was built in Hobart in Tasmania in 1845. Ballarat in Victoria is the home of the oldest surviving synagogue on the mainland and was built in 1861.
J-Wire asked The Great Synagogue's current spiritual leader Manchester-born Rabbi Dr Ben Elton who arrived in Sydney in 2015 to tell us some of the building's history.
JW: We know that there were Jewish convicts on the First Fleet in 1788, but when did the first free Jews arrived in Sydney.
RBE: We think the settlers arrived in small numbers over the next 30 years.
JW: The congregation was established in 1844. Where did they worship before the existing synagogue was built in 1878?
RBE: They were minyans in converted premises in Bridge St from the early days. The first purpose-built shule was established in York St in 1844. There was a breakaway congregation in Macquarie St in the 1850s. The Great Synagogue was a reunification of those two communities into one 'great' synagogue.
JW: The Great Synagogue had many high-profile members since it was founded. Can you name a few?
RBE: In recent times of course there was the late Syd Einfeld who played a very important part in helping Jews to leave Nazi-devasted Europe and come to Australia to established new homes. He was a highly respected politician having served in both the federal and the NSW State parliaments. Thanks to his efforts, Australia's immigration policy was changed to accept more Holocaust survivors than other country per capita in the world.
Fanny Redding was the founder of the National Council of Jewish Women.
The shule had distinguished rabbis including Rabbi Porush and Rabbi Apple. In the early days there were numerous judges of the Supreme Court of New South Wales and many leading Jewish figures. The shule's current president Stephen Rothman was a former president of The New South Wales Jewish Board of Deputies and member Peter Wertheim is the executive director of The Executive Council of Australian Jewry.
JW: Were there infamous identities among the membership?
RBE: We have been lucky enough to have a whole range of members of the community with some gaining notoriety,
JW: Tell us more about your predecessors.
RBE: I am the seventh chief minister of this congregation since 1862. The First Chief Minister was the Reverend Alexander Davis who had been the Chief Minister at York St and had founded a range of institutions including education. The Board of Jewish Education, the BJE, can trace its roots to the classes which Reverend David started. He made the Great Synagogue was possible as he had been such a highly-respected and popular figure that the two communities could unite under his leadership. Rabbi Cohen who succeeded him founded the Sydney Beth Din. Reverend Einfeld later founded the Chevra Kadisha. Rabbi Porush arrived in Sydney in 1940. He started the GSY, the Great Synagogue Youth, which was incredibly important in producing so many marriages. Rabbi Raymond Apple was Chief Minister for 33 years and was very involved in interfaith relations and he taught at the universities. Rabbi Jeremy Lawrence also was highly active in interfaith projects.
JW: The shule's building houses a museum. When was it established and are there plans to expand it?
RBE: The museum was founded in the 1980s in memory of A.M. Rosenblum and his wife Sadie. A.M. Rosenblum was the synagogue's president in the 1960s. In the museum we have the first chumash to be used in a service in Sydney in 1828. As you could imagine we have old textiles and silver torah ornaments. But we have wedding records going back to the 1830s and the 1840s. The museum has recently enjoyed a new lease of life under a guest curator. We expect a 140th anniversary exhibition to be launched in May. In terms of expansion, there will be more exhibits, more research into the collection and more variety within the expansion.
JW: The synagogue gets many visitors. With the increase of cruise ships visiting Sydney is the number of visitors on the rise?
RBE: We are getting a healthy number of visitors from cruise ships in season and land tours but we don't depend on visitors. For example, last week we had a service for honourees following the Australia Day awards. We always welcome visitors and they add variety to the congregation. Our congregation has a growing membership and we are overwhelmingly a Sydney shule with a large Sydney congregation.
JW: The building has been listed as heritage but there have been stories about the air space above it. What does this mean?
RBE: There is a scheme whereby a heritage building can sell its air space in order to raise money for the upkeep of the historic building. This was done in the 1980s and the regulations have been recently amended and we are now investigating the best way to exploit the space.
JW: In recent decades, the Jewish community has moved away from the locale in which the shule stands. Today, there is significant increase of residences being built in the city. Has the increase of homeowners in the city made an impact on the membership?
RBE: Even in my time, we've seen more people who now live in walking distance from the synagogue. They come from the CBD, Woolloomooloo, Ultimo, Surry Hills, Paddington, Darlinghurst, Rushcutters Bay, Potts Point as well a large congregation who live across Sydney who we value very much. So now were seeing a group of locals emerge. I fully anticipate over the next year we will see this group increase and make an impact.
JW: You have introduced more involvement of the congregation's women. Please tell us about it and are you aware of this increase of women's involvement in other orthodox synagogues in Australia.
RBE: We are a modern orthodox synagogue. We want to do everything we can to increase the participation of women within halacha. At the end of the service before adon alom at the point in the service where historically a Batmitzvah girl would give her address to the congregation, we invite three women to the bima. One woman recites a prayer for the congregation in English, another woman opens the ark and the third woman closes the ark after the prayer. The prayer for the congregation is recited earlier in the service by the chazan in Hebrew. This allows women to mark their yahrzeits or a simcha in a ritual way with the confines
Rabbi Ben Elton
of orthodox Jewish practice. I understand that at least one synagogue has adopted our practice. It's nice to see that The Great Synagogue is leading the way.
JW: On a recent visit to St Petersburg, we noticed the main synagogue has a kosher restaurant in its grounds. Has The Great considered those who people who work in the CBD and observe kashrut?
RBE: That's a very interesting idea and I think we will explore that. We are always looking for ways to be relevant and more useful to the Jewish population. We run a mincha service through the week for city workers.
JW: We have discussed the past and the present. What's in the future for The Great.
RBE: The future will be better than the past. We are looking forward to the next 140 years.We are gaining members every week. People find it a synagogue with real sense of community and warmth where they can find inclusive authentic orthodox and religious meaning. We are planning more social and educational activities. It will be an exciting future for The Great. The 140th anniversary in March will celebrate the past and prepare for an exciting future.
The Great Synagogue's 140th event: March 3rd
One Response to "The Great to celebrate its 140th"
Gary Luke says:
The correct name is Reverend Alexander Barnard Davis, not Reverend Alexander David.
The first formally constituted congregation was established in 1832, not 1844. An earlier informal congregation of ex-convicts began holding prayer meetings in 1820.

Women's History Month: Reflections from Duke Women
Cate Brinson: "It's critical that we provide positive role models"
From Working@Duke
The idea of celebrating Women's History Month is rooted in education.
In 1978, the Education Task Force of Sonoma County, California, organized a "Women's History Week," according to the National Women's History Museum. The idea ignited similar celebrations across the county that sparked a movement for national recognition.
President Jimmy Carter issued a proclamation in 1980 declaring the week of March 8 "National Women's History Week." Seven years later, Congress passed "Public Law 100-9" designating March as "Women's History Month."
Today, women make up roughly 62 percent of the education, legal, community service, media and arts industries, and 73 percent of health practioner and technical occupations. At Duke, women comprise 66 percent of the workforce.
To commemorate Women's History Month, MEMS Chair Cate Brinson was among seven Duke women in leadership who provided some reflections:
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE IMPROVED FOR WOMEN IN THE WORKPLACE?
Cate Brinson
Sharon C. and Harold L. Yoh, III Distinguished Professor and Chair of Mechanical Engineering & Materials Science
Cate Brinson achieved a lot of firsts in her career.
She was the first woman to get a Ph.D. in applied mechanics at the California Institute of Technology. At Northwestern University's Department of Mechanical Engineering, she was the first female faculty member, first tenured female faculty member and, later, its first female chair. She is now the first female chair of Duke's Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science Department.
"In retrospect, I look back and realize aspects of that progression were difficult and strange," Brinson said. "I was at the front of this weird boundary for women."
Still, she wishes for greater parity between men and women who earn engineering degrees.
Women earned nearly 22 percent of engineering bachelor's degrees nationwide in 2018, up from 18 percent in 2009, according to the American Society for Engineering Education. At Duke, women currently make up a significantly higher percentage of the engineering student body than the national average—37 percent, versus 23 percent nationally.
"There weren't a lot of women for me to see in mechanical engineering positions when I was growing up. It's difficult to imagine yourself achieving something if you haven't seen someone else do it."
While the slow increase is positive, Brinson said engineering can do better.
"Both mechanical engineering and materials science are richly diverse fields with a wealth of fascinating and creative applications in design, robotics, healthcare devices and energy," she said. "We need to do a better job of attracting and retaining women in these important and interesting fields. At the same time, it is critical that we provide positive role models for our current and prospective female students."
One of Brinson's first mentors, Katherine Faber, the Simon Ramo Professor of Materials Science at the California Institute of Technology, was among the first female faculty members in engineering Brinson saw that also had a family.
It was always a goal for Brinson, who has four children, to be successful in her profession and home life.
"There weren't a lot of women for me to see in mechanical engineering positions when I was growing up," said Brinson, who joined Duke in 2017. "It's difficult to imagine yourself achieving something if you haven't seen someone else do it."

On War & Society #18–Why Military Families Matter, Part II
by Kyle Falcon | Nov 6, 2018 | LCSC, Podcast, War and Society | 0 comments
On War & Society #18–Why Military Families Matter,
Military families are essential to the care of veterans in both the past and present. Yet current veteran policies and programs do not fully provide the necessary services military families require for the process of healing and recovery. For the final episode of our four-part series on the past and present experiences of veterans in Canada, two scholars, a veteran and a caregiver continue their discussion of the effects of military service on veterans' families. Drawing comparisons between veteran and family experiences during the First World War and the present, the guests discuss current research and the challenges mental trauma places on the family dynamic. These challenges include recognizing the sacrifices of military spouses and the risk of intergenerational trauma being passed down to veterans' children. The discussion reveals how the fears of veterans and their families have been shaped by changes in government responsibilities to the veteran community over the past century and how this history continues to inform current veteran policy and program reform.
This episode in funded by the Department of National Defence. It is hosted by Dr. Geoffrey Hayes of the University of Waterloo. Panelists are Dr. Jessica Meyer, Dr. Deborah Norris, Jody Mitic and Kim Davis.
Dr. Geoffrey Hayes is an Associate Professor in the Department of History at the University of Waterloo and a faculty associate of the LCMSDS. His research focuses on Canadian military history. He is the author of Crerar's Lieutenants: Inventing the Canadian Junior Army Officer, 1939-45, published with UBC Press in 2017, as well as the co-editor of Vimy Ridge: A Canadian Reassessment (2007) and Canada and the Second World War: Essays in Honour of Terry Copp (2012).

Is the digital age rewiring us?
The digital age has already changed the way we shop, work and play. But what effect is it having on us as a species? By Paul Kendall @Telegraph
It's becoming harder to concentrate
In The Shallows: What The Internet Is Doing to Our Brains, Nicholas Carr quotes a research project at Stanford University in which cognitive tests were given to a group of "heavy media multitaskers" and a group of "relatively light" multitaskers. The heavy multitaskers were much more easily distracted by "irrelevant environmental stimuli" and less able to maintain their concentration on a particular task. On the plus side, young people today have skills their predecessors lacked. They are adept at finding and filtering information, responding to stimuli and doing fast, incisive analysis. As "digital natives" who have grown up with the internet, they are used to technological change, while "digital immigrants", who grew up before the internet, find it hard to keep up.

Secret Society has been a go-to spot for me ever since moving to Portland a little over a year ago. It's a great, low-profile spot for those times you just want to chill out and not deal with the crowding you find at some of the more well-known bars around town. Located fairly out of the way in NE Portland (well, for me, anyway), it's in good company, directly upstairs from Toro Bravo and next door to the Wonder Ballroom.
Despite what the name might imply, Secret Society isn't a speakeasy-style bar. The name refers to the building's former history as a meeting hall for not one, but two different fraternal orders over nearly all of it's 100+ year existence. Built in 1907, the space was originally used by the Woodmen of the World, a fraternal group for woodworkers. Following that, from the 1940s through the 1990s, it was used by the Prince Hall Freemasons. Restored to something approximating it's original state, Secret Society is a natural name for a space like this.
While no longer a secret, Secret Society often slips under the radar in a city that boasts a number of high-profile cocktail bars. But don't let this dissuade you from trying it out — the drinks here are high quality, the food is good, and the space itself is fantastic. The bar area is small, consisting of half a dozen or so tables, plus seating at the bar, but there's also a "lounge" of sorts that you pass through to enter the bar, which provides a little more space, with a few low tables and seats.
The cocktail menu focuses primarily on classic cocktails rather than original creations, and they do them well. You won't get a shaken Manhattan here, and they even have a nice set of traditional copper mugs for serving the Moscow Mule, which is one of their popular items. I've had one or two misses here over a number of visits, but the quality has generally been very good. The bartenders have always been willing to work with me whenever I've ordered something they either weren't familiar with or requested something made in a particular way.
Secret Society is a great spot for cocktails while waiting for a show at the Wonder Ballroom, after dinner at Toro Bravo, or just on its own. It fills up later in the evening but I've somehow never had trouble finding space, even for groups of up to six or so. In addition to the lounge, Secret Society also has a ballroom and recording studio, both available for rent.


Pembrolizumab ( Keytruda ) is a humanized monoclonal antibody against programmed death receptor-1 ( PD-1 ), a key immunoinhibitory checkpoint protein implicated in down-regulating anti-tumour immune responses.
Pembrolizumab, an intravenous drug, is indicated for the treatment of advanced ( unresectable or metastatic ) melanoma, on the basis of its clinical benefit in this setting in the phase I KEYNOTE 001 trial ( expansion cohorts ) and the phase II and III trials, KEYNOTE 002 and 006.
These studies were conducted in Ipilimumab-naïve and/or Ipilimumab-experienced patients and assessed varying Pembrolizumab regimens administered every 2 or 3 weeks, all of which helped to determine the recommended dosage of 2 mg/kg every 3 weeks.
In the trials with active comparator arms, Pembrolizumab regimens significantly improved progression-free survival ( PFS ), overall survival ( OS ) and overall response rates ( ORR ) relative to Ipilimumab in Ipilimumab-naïve patients ( KEYNOTE 006 ), and significantly improved progression-free survival and overall response rates, but not overall survival ( although overall survival data are immature ), relative to chemotherapy in Ipilimumab-refractory patients, who had also received BRAF/MEK inhibitor therapy if BRAF-mutation positive ( KEYNOTE 002 ).

Purpose: To quantify the levels of performance (symptom severity) of the computer-vision symptom scale (CVSS17), confirm its bifactorial structure as detected in an exploratory factor analysis, and validate its factors as subscales.
Methods: By partial credit model (PCM), we estimated CVSS17 measures and the standard error for every possible raw score, and used these data to determine the number of different performance levels in the CVSS17. In addition, through discriminant analysis, we checked that the scale's two main factors could classify subjects according to these determined levels of performance. Finally, a separate Rasch analysis was performed for each CVSS17 factor to assess their measurement properties when used as isolated scales.
Results: We identified 5.8 different levels of performance. Discriminant functions obtained from sample data indicated that the scale's main factors correctly classified 98.4% of the cases. The main factors: Internal symptom factor (ISF) and external symptom factor (ESF) showed good measurement properties and can be considered as subscales.
Conclusion: CVSS17 scores defined five different levels of performance. In addition, two main factors (ESF and ISF) were identified and these confirmed by discriminant analysis. These subscales served to assess either the visual or the ocular symptoms attributable to computer use.


Water allocation plans outline how much water can be taken from groundwater and surface water resources, while safeguarding the sustainability of the resource and protecting the water-dependent environment.
We use water allocation plans to guide individual licensing decisions so that they collectively contribute to economic, social and environmental outcomes. These plans also inform how information will be collected about water resources, how we will adapt our water management to changing circumstances and how water resources can be best used.
Water allocation planning is one of the ways we manage the state's water resources. Allocation plans set out how much water is available from a particular resource or area and how much water needs to be left in the system to ensure its sustainability.
The Department of Water uses water allocation plans to protect the diverse range of environments that depend on water resources.
The North West Region, covering the Pilbara and Kimberley, has some of the world's most recognised and intact natural and cultural landscapes.
Water plays a key role in creating and sustaining a vibrant local economy in the Mid West Gascoyne Region. Groundwater sustains rivers, wetlands and bushland of social, cultural and ecological significance, including sites which are drawcards for tourists.
The Swan–Avon Region's water resources are essential to its economic, environmental and social well-being. The iconic Swan River shapes our sense of place and the Gnangara groundwater system is one of the state's most strategically important, fresh groundwater resources.
The Kwinana Peel Region has significant surface water and groundwater resources to support the Perth and Peel urban and rural communities, agriculture and industry as well as the ecosystems that depend on them.
The South West Region is an important urban and agricultural development area and includes many high value groundwater-dependent environmental and social features.
The South Coast is a highly attractive region with highly valued rivers, wetlands and waterways. The region's water resources support local towns, domestic gardens and industries such as agriculture.

It's not one you can easily confuse with anything else especially as it's location tends to be on rocks, walls and bare stone hillocks.
To me it tastes like very sweet garden peas.

A: http://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/archive/2003/09/05/54806.aspx gives info on interpreting different types of time stamps.  It looks like you have a Win32 FILETIME.

A: Installed <NTP TimeStamp> by '<Security Identifier>'
At the beginning of the string are NTP TimeStamps. You cant turn these into a System.DateTime very easily.
String s = "01c9d3cb9b46a87c";
DateTime dt = DateTime.FromFileTime(Int64.Parse(s, System.Globalization.NumberStyles.HexNumber));

For more information on NTP TimeStamps, read the RFC (don't worry, it's actually a "short" RFC) at: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc958.html
At the end of the string are security identifiers for accounts Local System is 'S-1-5-18'.

Q: Terminal not working correctly inside external NTFS drive High Sierra I would like to write to my NTFS drive that I used to use with a Windows computer. This Hard drive is an external portable hard drive.
I have tried to follow this tutorial:
and have read this post:
Cannot edit /etc/fstab to let NTFS drives write
I have managed to create a new folder using the GUI, but if I use a terminal and cd into the drive, and type
ls
I get
ls: .: No such file or directory
What does this mean?


The Xinjin Zhi Museum is located near the entrance to a holy Taoist site in Chengdu, China and boasts a perforated facade that is both pretty and practical. Completed at the end of 2011, the museum was designed by Kengo Kuma and Associates and is a Taoist expression of nature & balance. The museum's flow is arranged in a spiral, allowing visitors to move through the space as if walking through a garden. The exterior is covered in a screen of tiles hung on wire that works to minimize direct light inside the museum and create harmony between light and dark.
The Xinjin Zhi Museum is located at the foot of Laojunshan mountain in Xinjin and serves to usher people to the holy place of Taoism. Dedicated to the religion of Taoism, the design of the museum shows the essence of Taoism through its space and exhibitions. Visitors move from front to the back, and from motion to stillness, and the space is laid out like a planned spiral, moving from darkness to light. At the top of the museum, visitors can enjoy views of Laoujunshan mountain.
The museum was constructed using local materials and worked on using methods traditional to the region in order to pay tribute to Taoism. The exterior is covered with a tile screen hung and floated in the air with wire, giving the feeling of lightness. Each facade is treated differently depending on the surroundings and the solar access. The tiles also serve to block direct sunlight into the museum and shade the interior from glare. In this way harmony between light and darkness is achieved and the interior enjoys a gentle light with beautiful particle-like shade.
