AUSTRALIA \u2013 Police surrounded a Melbourne synagogue<\/a> to break up a Jewish New Year celebration and issue $5,452 fines for holding an \u201cillegal gathering\u201d to all adults who attended the celebrations.<\/p>\n

An estimated 100 people attended the all-day Jewish New Year celebrations at the orthodox Adass Israel Synagogue in Glen Eira Avenue, Ripponlea, with Victoria Police dispersing the group around 9 pm on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

A second, smaller prayer group who assembled for Jewish New Year was also broken up by police from an apartment above the Ripponlea IGA supermarket, also on Glen Eira Avenue.<\/p>\n

Police said they were alerted to the gatherings on Tuesday morning and they waited for people to exit the celebrations during the day.<\/p>\n

But tensions grew as worshipers and their supporters confronted police in the early evening.<\/p>\n

Two worshippers climbed onto a nearby roof around 6 pm as the confrontations ignited with some supporters heard abusing police and accusing media and health authorities of anti-Semitism.<\/p>\n

\u2018Victoria Police has spoken to a number of people who attended an address on Glen Eira Road, Elsternwick on Tuesday 7 September,\u2019 a Victorian Police statement said.<\/p>\n

Under Melbourne\u2019s latest lockdown, which began on August 5 and is still in place, no private or public gatherings are allowed.<\/p>\n

\u2018All adults who attended will be issued with a $5452 fine. A number of children who were present will not be fined. Investigators believe a number of other people were present and are yet to be spoken to by police. Investigators are working to identify them.\u2019<\/p>\n

Earlier, police blocked roads around the synagogue where an estimated 100 worshippers celebrated Jewish New Year.<\/p>\n

It is understood the worshippers stood their ground and refused to leave the two buildings on Tuesday despite Police attempts to make them get out.<\/p>\n

Jewish New Year celebrations, known as Rosh Hashanah, commenced on Monday, September 6, and last until the evening of Wednesday, September 8.<\/p>\n
