SUMMARY:Dressed and Blessed: Brit Milah\, Dress and Goldfields Jewish Famil
 ies
DESCRIPTION:By Elizabeth Offer\n\nAmong the oft-told tales of diggers and g
 old remain unspoken stories of Jewish mothers and their families\, who toi
 led\, laboured\, and struggled as they made a life for themselves and thei
 r kin on the Central Victorian Goldfields. For most of these women\, their
  lives will remain in the past\, however\, important evidence survives for
  one family. Three white baby dresses\, lovingly made and sewed by Rebecca
  Abraham (nee Crawcour) for her children\, give a fascinating glimpse into
  the world of Jewish mothers and their families. On these dusty fields of 
 gold\, faith\, families\, and motherhood continued to define each another\
 , though in altered ways as Jewish families responded to colonial limits a
 nd societal expectations. Following the life of Rebecca and her family\, t
 his presentation will explore the connection between infant dress\, brit m
 ilah (circumcision ceremonies)\, and the shifting world of the goldfields 
 Jewish family.\n\nElizabeth Offer is currently completing a PhD in history
  at La Trobe University. Her research is part of a larger community-based 
 project uncovering the religious diversity of the Central Victorian Goldfi
 elds. Elizabeth’s research examines the connection between an emerging B
 ritish identity and the shifting religious practices of Hebrew congregatio
 ns which formed in Bendigo and Ballarat between 1851- 1900.
