Perth Hebrew Congregation

The PHC is fortunate to have excellent facilities which enhance the overall experience of attending the Shule.

The Main Shule
There is seating for 544 men downstairs and 486 females upstairs and 37 seats in an area downstairs behind a mechitza for ladies who would have difficulty with the stairs. The Shule is surrounded by beautiful gardens where various events are held in the summer months. An elegant boundary fence surrounds the Shule complex.


Beit Midrash:
The Beit Midrash is the small self contained Shule downstairs from the main building. It seats approximately 60 people.

Of all the areas of the Shule, the Beit Midrash is probably used the most. The Beit Midrash is home to the weekday services as well as the many shiurim and educational activities that take place during the week.

The PHC's impressive library is also located in the Beit Midrash.

Lobby:
The Korsunski Lobby is the main entry to the Shule. Every Shabbat there is a sumptuous Kiddush served here by PHC Catering. Many events are held in the Korsunski Lobby during the year, including Shabbatons, lectures and the Communal Pesach Seder.

Kitchens:
The Shule has two fully functioning kosher kitchens which are in continual use. The main kitchen is attached to the Korsunski Lobby while the other caters for the day care centre.
