There’s something truly special about the Shabbas dinners we host at Wolper ✨

Filled with warmth, tradition, and a real sense of connection, these evenings are enjoyed by everyone - both Jewish and non-Jewish patients alike. It’s always more than just a meal, it’s an evening of togetherness, comfort and community 💙

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Dame Marie Bashir AD CVO. Dame Marie devoted her life to public service and made history as the first woman to serve as Governor of New South Wales. She was a remarkable leader, advocate and role model whose impact will be felt for generations.

We were honoured to welcome Dame Marie as Guest of Honour at the opening of Wolper’s refurbished hospital in 2010 — a moment we remember with great pride and gratitude.

Our heartfelt thoughts are with her family, friends, and the many communities whose lives she touched. May her memory be a blessing.

At the end of last year we were proud to recognise some of our long-serving team members celebrating 10 and 20 years of service at Wolper. Their loyalty, compassion and commitment were recognised with certificates and gifts - a small thank you for the big difference they make every day 💙

We are remembering Tibor Weitzen and Edith Brutman - valued members of our community whose lives were cruelly taken at Bondi Beach last week.

Tibor and his wife Eva were recipients of multiple grants from the Wolper Jewish Hospital Health Foundation, supporting their wonderful organisation Friends of Refugees of Eastern Europe (F.R.E.E). Their program brought elderly Russian-speaking members of the Jewish community together.

Edith was also a loved member of F.R.E.E., and was a regular participant in Wolper’s programs. We will miss her participation in classes and she will be remembered fondly by her instructors Darsh and Andrea.

We extend our deepest sympathies to the Weitzen and Brutman families. May Edith and Tibor’s memories forever be a blessing.
