YG Melbourne Prepares for Gimmel Tammuz

One month prior to Gimmel Tammuz, the Shluchim of the Rabbinical College of Australia and New Zealand – Yeshivah Gedolah – Melbourne – initiated a Mivtzah to encourage the students to prepare for this auspicious day.

The Mivtzah was coordinated by Shluchim Tzvi Hirsch Gourarie and Shmuel Lipskier, and special booklets were prepared by Shliach Moshe Wolvovsky. Students were encouraged to participate in a variety of ways, including attending a Moshiach Shiur twice weekly, filling out a Duch every day, making and keeping a personal Hachlata (resolution), watching a video of the Rebbe every week, and learning a Ma’amar (Chassidic discourse) by heart.

The grand prize was a ticket to the Rebbe for Gimmel Tammuz, and it was raffled off at the end of a special Farbrengen held on Chof-Ches Sivan. The winner is Menachem Mendel Straiton, who departed for New York to represent the Yeshivah for Gimmel Tammuz.

Other prizes included $770 towards the purchase of a ticket to the Rebbe for Tishrei, several sets of Likuttei Sichos and Sefer Ma’amarim Melukat.
