Rabbis of the Outback Down Under

Two Chabad rabbis, Izzy Rudolph and Berel Fine, understand that sometimes a person has to go far to bring others close. The Rabbis are part of Chabad of RARA, a Melbourne-based organization that sends out tens of pairs of Rabbis every year to the furthest points of Australia, places that don’t have enough Jews to support a full time Rabbi.

Merkos Shlichus: Shabbos in Zhmerynka

ZHMERYNKA, Ukrain — In every place on Merkos Shlichus, one of the best things to do, is to make a get-together of all the local Jews. This we did, in Zhmerynka, Ukraine. It was last Friday, where we stood for hours in a tiny kitchen in the local Shule cooking food, with the meager kosher ingredients available in this part of the world. We were told to cook for, “Fertzig menschen” (“Forty people”), and thus we pealed 10lbs of potatoes (and did much more).

Reflections On Tishah B’av

By Rabbi Yoseph Kahanov Jax, Fl.
Napoleon Bonaparte was passing through the Jewish quarter in Paris when he stopped to investigate the strange cries and laments emanating from the local synagogue. His curiosity had peaked when he was informed that it was the Ninth of Av and that he was listening to the Jewish people wail over the destruction of their Holy Temple in Jerusalem. “When did this thing happen?” probed the inquisitive Emperor. “Some 1700 years ago,” came the nonchalant reply. Upon hearing this Napoleon remarked in a tone of awe and conviction: “A people who refuse to forget their past, are destined to forever have a future.”
