Photos: World’s Southernmost Pesach Seder

Over 500 Israeli backpackers and local Jews participated in Chabad’s seder in Bariloce, Argentina. The city’s Chabad center is the southernmost Jewish community in the world, and over 1,200 miles away from the nearest Jewish center.

    “The city’s Chabad center is the southernmost Jewish community in the world,”

    That has never been true; the southernmost Jewish community in the world is Dunedin (45° 52′). And I’m sure at least several people in Dunedin had a seder!

    In fact Bariloche (41° 9′) is not even the southernmost Chabad House. That honour belongs to Launceston (41° 26′ 31″), until Dunedin gets a shliach.

    This article actually comes from the hebrew vesrion where it states rather clearly: the travelers were coming from the southern-most tourist city in the world, Ushuaia, Argentina.

    Check and you will see.

    While that part is true, bariloche is not the most southern chabad house.

    Once again the shluchim of bariloch forgot to look at a globe. New Zealand has a Chabad House 3 degrees more south and I think Tasmania is also more south, check for yourself on google. People have been commenting this for a while but they refuse to stop lying to the public or maybe they never bothered checking that their statement was true. Maybe they just don’t care.
