FAQs

 
Question Answer
Is there plenty of parking at the Conference venue? No parking problems - Shabbat included!
Facilities for the disabled at the Conference venue
Because the National Jewish Memorial Centre is an older building - built in 1970 - there are no disabled facilties. In particular, there are 27 stairs from the Ground Floor up to the Plenary Hall of the Conference, and where the Conference Dinner will also be held.
 
We will be hiring portaloos for both sexes which will provide disabled access.

Under whose kashruth supervision will it be?  Where does the meat come from? Will the milchig be chalav Yisroel?
  • Kosher meat in Canberra is supplied by Solomon Kosher Butcher in Melbourne.
  • The caterer is a member of the ACT Jewish Community and an experienced kosher cook.
  • Catering in Canberra is not chalav Yisroel.  
  • All products and procedures used in kosher catering in Canberra are according to the Sydney Beth Din kashrut book.
  • The Conference Dinner will be meat/vegetarian, with kosher wines and soft drinks, tea/coffee.
  • The Conference lunches and morning/afternoon tea foods will be pareve - milk or pareve creamer at one's own discretion.
Should you require additional facilities, we can discuss closer to the conference and meet your requirements.
