Jewish House, a 24-hour crisis centre for people with stress-related conditions including, anxiety and depression, will use the money to continue the upkeep of its accommodation and counselling facility.
Co-president Roger Clifford said he was proud to see the community supporting his organisation and was pleased with how much money was raised.
“I think anyone can see, by the number of people that attended, that there is a tremendous support base for the Jewish House in the community,” Clifford told The AJN after the function.
“The reason the community supports us is because they recognise the unique work that we do and see it as something that is absolutely vital for the Jewish community.”
Executive director and rabbi at Jewish House Elozer Gestetner echoed Clifford’s comments.
“It was very gratifying to see the support we received. I’m proud to be able, as a rabbi, to lend my support and assistance to those needing emergency help”
