Subj:	Sydney Central Synagogue has Burnt Down

I am sad to let you all know that the largest Synagogue in N.S.W.
(Sydney) Australia has burnt down.  At this stage it is not clear how
this occured and the police have not ruled out arson.  The community
is in SHOCK.  Although arson attacks on Sydney Synagogues happens
almost yearly.

The Synagogue was founded in 1912

I will post as more information comes to hand.

    Hello,
    
    The reason for the fire was not arson, but an electrical fault. 
    Still, 15 Torah scrolls were lost and the remains buried.
    
    If anyone from the community reads this note, please say
    hello to my sister. You will know her as she is Judith, 
    Rabbi Ingram's wife.
