In the heart of Melbourne's storied St Kilda district, a Jewish community took root and flourished across one remarkable century — and Look Back with Pride chronicles that extraordinary journey with warmth, rigour, and deep communal pride. Newman Rosenthal presents the centennial history of the St Kilda Hebrew Congregation, tracing its founding struggles, its moments of triumph, and the generations of families who shaped its identity against the backdrop of Australian social and religious life. Rosenthal's narrative is far more than an institutional record; it is a portrait of immigrant perseverance, faith, and the forging of a distinctly Australian Jewish identity. Drawing on archival sources and personal testimony, the author illustrates how a transplanted community built enduring institutions in a new world, weaving themes of belonging, religious continuity, and cultural resilience throughout. A landmark work of Australian Jewish history, this volume leaves the reader asking one compelling question: what does a community's first century reveal about its next?
