S2E13 - 'You feel more of an obligation to assert your identity': How the Jews of Tasmania are slowly growing their community

  • サマリー

  • Baltimore is more than 16,000 km away from Hobart, the biggest city on the Australian island of Tasmania. It's quite a distance—and one happily travelled by Jeff Schneider, the current president of the Hobart Hebrew Congregation, Australia's oldest synagogue.

    But if you'd told a young Schneider he'd one day be president of a synagogue in Tasmania, he wouldn't have believed you. While the former penal colony island is now a pleasant home to more than half a million people, just 376 of them are Jewish, down from the community's peak of 454 in the 1850s. As Schneider learned when he moved to Tasmania and began raising a young family, the island's Jews feel obligated to practice their faith, continue their traditions and share their stories—which Schneider does here on today's episode of Yehupetzville.
