Where are we?
Located in the beachside suburb of St Kilda on one of the most picturesque points of Port Phillip Bay and less than 6 km from the centre of Melbourne, Temple Beth Israel serves a membership of more than 2800 people, and a wider community.
Victoria located in the south-eastern corner of Australia and is the smallest mainland state. The state is geographically compact and all regions are within easy reach, from sandy beaches, to sweeping rural countryside, snowfields and untouched native forests.
Victoria has a mild, temperate climate with warm to hot summers, mild autumns, cool to cold winters and sunny springs. The average maximum winter temperature is 14°C, while the summer average is 25°C - although scorching 40°C summer days are not unusual. The climate varies across the state, with the north experiencing much drier and warmer weather than the south.
About 5 million people live in Victoria - the second largest population of any state in Australia. More than 70 percent of Victorians live in Melbourne, the state's capital city. Victoria is one of the world's greatest migration success stories. Victorians come from over 200 countries, speaking over 180 languages and dialects and follow over 110 religious faiths. Almost one quarter of Victoria's population was born overseas - 43.6 percent were either born overseas, or have a parent who was born overseas.
