Greys Avenue Commemorative Event

A moving farewell event took place on 19 February 2023, to mark the end of an era. After fifty-five years on Greys Ave the Auckland Hebrew Congregation has moved on to a new site in Remuera in order to better cater to the needs of its growing community. The theme ‘L’dor v’dor’, ‘from generation to generation’, expressed the sentiment of the evening as members shared memories, shed a few tears and expressed optimism for the future.
