Head Shliach of Bangkok Visits Chabad of Melbourne CBD

Chabad of Melbourne CBD were honored to have Rabbi Yosef Chaim Kantor, Chief Rabbi of Thailand as their guest speaker today, Monday for their Businessmen Luncheon.

Rabbi Chaim Herzog, the Shliach of Chabad of Melbourne CBD welcomed Rabbi Kantor and said that he was sent to Thailand by the Lubavitcher Rebbe in May 1993 and now has 9 other emissaries helping him in his holy and inspiring work.

He told stories about his shlichus there. Rabbi Kantor said that being a schliach is not a 9 to 5p.m. position.

A Shliach must have unconditional love for another Jew (Achavas Yisroel) and be available to the people all waking hours.

The audience, some who were members of the local religious Jewish community who had grown up with the Rabbi, who was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia were entranced by the stories that he told.
