Tree of Life

In the COA Krygier Centre stands a tree, created for us by a past president Phillip Frankel (z’l’)

On this tree hang leaves of gold and bronze.

This is a place to celebrate births, bar-mitzvahs and marriages, honour loved ones, mark yahrzeits, remember anniversaries, rejoice in milestone birthdays, and commemorate special moments.

Leaves will be etched with your message, and when complete you will be invited to come to COA and place your new leaf on our tree.

Please visit our shop to purchase your leaf, at the cost of either $100 for a Bronze Leaf, or $250 for a Gold Leaf, and a COA representative will contact you to complete your order, or call us on 9389 0035 to arrange your leaf today.
