Since it’s establishment in 1998 by the young Rabbi, Chaim Herzog, of the Chabad of Melbourne CBD (Central Business District); one of the Mosdos of the Rebbe has been going from strength to strength reaching out to Jewish business people and young professionals.
“Down Under” Melbourne, a quiet city where the weather changes three times a day now hosts a fast growing Jewish Community. As you walk past the tall skyscrapers one along side the other, with the trees in between, that is where you will find Chabad of Melbourne CBD. Chabad’s home to downtown Melbourne, Australia .
There are lots of Jewish People moving into the CBD and Southbank, there may be as many as 600 Jews currently living there.
