This book debunks the myth that Orthodox Judaism in Australia is a twentieth-century phenomenon. Nevertheless, fluctuations in fortunes -- social, religious and economic, reflecting past and contemporary changes in surrounding society -- are stark reminders of the fragility of minority achievements in the shadow of a dominating ethos. This history provides a series of salutary lessons and a blueprint for the future.
