Tiny Flinders Island, Tasmania, Hosts a Rabbi for the First Time

Located between mainland Australia and Tasmania, Flinders Island has a population of 700 (down to 300 in the winter), and less than a handful—four to be exact—are Jews. This week, they received the first rabbinic visit in the island’s history, from Rabbi Yochanan Gordon, who co-directs Chabad of Tasmania with his wife, Rochel.

Rabbi Yisroel Avrohom Portugal.the Skulener Rebbe.

Rabbi Yisroel Avrohom Portugal, 95, and The Rebbe

As the last Chassidic Rebbe born in pre-war Europe, the passing of the Skulener Rebbe at the age of 95 on Monday afternoon draws ever closer the conclusion of a torturous era in the narrative of Jewish history—the dispersion of Chassidic courts from the Eastern European villages, towns and cities where they had shaped Jewish life for centuries. Known for his kindheartedness and prolific composition of Chassidic melodies, Rabbi Yisroel Avrohom Portugal, of blessed memory, was a beloved fixture of Brooklyn’s Boro Park neighborhood.

The Ash family waited for eight years to be allowed out of the Soviet Union.

Rabbi Dani Ash, A Profile

Dani Ash was born in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg) in 1982, three years into his parents’ eight-year “career” as refuseniks—Jews forced into an underground life of fear, privation and incarceration after their application to leave for Israel was denied by Soviet authorities, and they were deemed a threat to the state. Today, Rabbi Dani and Rivka Ash co-direct a bustling Chabad center in the same city he left as a child, never dreaming that he would one day return.

We Fought For Their Freedom, But Where Are Russian-American Jews Today?

Thirty years after the first wave of Russian Jews landed on these shores, the babushkas and fur ushankas have disappeared. But the American-born grandchildren of those immigrants still speak Russian with their parents and grandparents. They socialize with friends of Russian background and do so in Russian Jewish enclaves where the food, drink, and music reflect the tastes of their Slavic grandparents. Why do Russian-speaking Jews seem so uninterested in American Jewish life and what can we do to better engage them?
