Norman Faifer is remembered as a professional who applied his skills in service of community, and as someone who valued continuity, responsibility and care
A dedicated professional in construction, he applied his expertise to preserve the historic Melbourne Hebrew Congregation synagogue on St Kilda Road.
Quentin Miller, congregation president, highlighted Norman’s irreplaceable knowledge and dignity in maintaining the 1841-founded institution.
His widow, Debbie Faifer says Norman’s involvement in the Jewish community was grounded in a strong sense of identity and responsibility, rather than a desire for recognition.
