Coogee Synagogue is a Modern Orthodox synagogue situated in the beach side suburb of Coogee in Sydney Australia. It is a 5 minute drive south out of the main Jewish neighborhood of the Eastern suburbs. Coogee has a constituency of 400 members and is the spiritual home to many others in the geographic area. The Synagogue strives to have an open friendly an egalitarian view within the bounds of orthodoxy. 

Coogee Synagogue was established by holocaust survivors after World War 2 in 1950. These refugees settled in the Coogee District and immediately set about the task of establishing a congregation. The Synagogue wandered around different locations until the present property at 121 Brook St was purchased.

The Services are attended by a core group of dedicated individuals who have become the Elijah the prophets or the Michael the angel’s of the Minyan and prayer sessions. The Services are led by the members and the youth are encouraged to participate in all aspects of Synagogue life. My family and I are Chabad-Lubavitch and are representatives of the world wide Chabad Chassidic Movement.

Coogee Synagogue like all great synagogues is involved in every aspect of Jewish life. The Synagogue assists in social welfare-support, communal care programs and the love of the state Israel. I am available for counseling and crisis intervention at any time. The High Holiday Services are a time of reflection and indeed the entire membership join our Chazan, for an inspiring uplifting and inspirational service.

The Coogee Synagogue stands as a testament to the strength of faith of its community and represents the indestructibility of Jewish life.
