Thank you & acknowledgements
Eat, Pray, Naches commenced as a Waverley Council motion to create a pilot project to document the post war migration of Jewish people to the area, with a specific focus on second generation migrants and their families.
The 2015 project included a touring exhibition, public programs and education kits for schools. Waverley Council would like to thank each and every person who has contributed to this project and wishes them all great naches!
