Rabbi Lampert retired as NSTE's Senior
Rabbi on 31 December, 2003 after twenty six years.
Rabbi Lampert was born in Johannesburg, South Africa. After spending five
years in a printing company, he studied at the University of Witwatersrand
and the Leo Baeck Rabbinical College in London. Before taking up the
position in our congregation, Rabbi Lampert was the Rabbi of Temple
Emanuel, Johannesburg for twelve years.
Rabbi Lampert arrived in Australia in 1977 with his wife, Diane, their two
daughters, Sharon and Yael and his mother-in-law, Hilda Wohlgemuth who has
since sadly passed away. Under his leadership, the congregation grew from
two hundred and seventy families to over seven hundred families.
Rabbi Lampert is proud that the congregation is affiliated with the
largest organisation of Jews in the world, the World Union for Progressive
Judaism, which represents over two million Jews world-wide. Like other
Australian Progressive Synagogues, while NSTE is affiliated with the
Reform community in the USA, its services and standards of Jewish practice
are more traditional than those of the Reform movement in the USA, and
those of the Liberal movement in the UK. Rabbi Lampert and Diane are the
proud grandparents of Zac, Jonah and Zoe, and can be contacted at
rablamp@iprimus.com.au.
