11 Nissan Farbrengen at Ohel Chana Melbourne

Melbourne, Australia [CHI] — Thursday night, the 109th birthday of the Rebbe, saw a beautiful Farbrengen take place in Ohel Chana Seminary in Melbourne, which is unique in that the seminary remains open for the entire month of Nissan.

Joining the students who remained in Melbourne for Pesach were 30 other girls who are back home for Pesach from other seminaries as well as many post-seminary girls looking for pre-Pesach inspiration. The atmosphere was beautiful and all were inspired by Rabbi Winner and Rabbi Tenenbaum who came to Fabreng.

Many stories of the Rebbe were shared focusing on how the Rebbe looked after Klal Yisroel as a whole as well as each indivual with his/her own needs and how the Rebbe was able to go Keneged Rucho Shel Kol Echad Vechod as a true Manhig Yisroel.

Rabbi Tenenbaum emphasized that it is Mazolo Goiver for all Chassisidim and how the Rebbe always appreciates a Hosafa B’limud Hatorah as a birthday Matana and that should be a main emphasis of ours on such an auspices day.

Rabbi Winner, the main speaker, farbrenged in his uniquely inspiring and entertaining way, sharing many stores of the Rebbe and how each person needs to work on Ahavas Yisroel. This involves being nice to people in general as well as seeking to address the individual needs of the people one knows. Rabbi Winner quoted many parts of Tanya and sichos of the Rebbe, in addition to many personal stories of the Rebbe to illustrate this point.

The Farbrengen continued well past midnight and all walked away charged and inspired to make the most of Yom Habhair Yud Aleph Nissan and for the rest of the year, whether that will be in Ohel Chana, in Melbourne or any other location around the world

The farbrengen was part of an Ohel Chana initiative in facilitating shiurim and farbrengens for girls who have already returned from seminaries overseas and are currently living in Melbourne.
