Camp Gan Izzy makes me smile

2010-07-12T06:46:00.000-07:00

Once again Chabad WA has organized an amazing holiday program for the kids of Perth.

Rebetzin White together with 7 other girls have produced an amazing program.

Every day parents and campers were greeted by Nikki Leib with a smile. Due to her great preparation and organization the kids had a packed day full of fun.

The theme of the camp was Yosef Mokir Shabbat, which is a story about Yosef who honored the shabbat in a very special way and was rewarded by Hashem. The kids made a puppet show for the story. For this Andy Nurik was engaged to show and teach the children the art of puppet making.

apart from the great art and crafts, the kids were exposed to lots of fun games and activities. The favorite Gym Bus and even a puppet show from Constable Care. Jumping castles and much more.

Thank you for all those donors that gave sponsorship for the children in need. Thank you Sandra for making such great food for the kids.

Can't wait till next holidays for the Summer Gan Izzy!!!

There were very special guests for shabbos, Rabbi and Rebetzin Feldman, Chabad of NSW.
Rabbi Feldman spoke on Friday night about the suffering of the Jewish people throughout history and its relationship with the "Chosen" notion. Explaining the name of the month being Menachem Av, to comfort the father, meaning that we comfort our father. The question being are we not the suffering nation and shouldn't we be the ones being comforted? Rather we say the opposite we will be comforted by achievements of our toil. For example, having children and making a family demands great toil and hardship, we experience great pains but the achievements are the comfort. Hashem puts us in situations to see our deeds and receive comfort from our efforts. Even though we have difficult circumstances we endeavor to move forward.
The community were given a real treat when Rabbi Feldman davened. Someone mentioned that if we had of closed our eyes and just listened, we could picture ourselves in a huge synagogue with authentic fittings and architecture.
The community lunch was amazing. Lots of thanks to Sandra who toiled very much to make such magnificent feast. Thank you also to Noga and Michal for making salads. The linch was sponsored by the Yitzchaki family, Guth family and Rosner family.
In the late afternoon the ladies were treated to a shiur by Rebetzin Feldman on the Rebbe's Kapital.
Looking forward to the next communal lunch in four weeks!

Holiday Program topics

2009-12-27T07:17:00.000-08:00

Each morning at 7:30am there is coffee and cake served with the study of "Oneness in Creation"

8am Shacharit

9am Gemara Brachot.

The following is a list of topics that will be discussed in the afternoon program.

Monday-Thursday, 2pm-3pm "Who's who in Judaism?" #1-The Tanach #2- Talmud #3- Rishonim #4- Achronim

Ever wondered why there is different opinions? Ashkenazi and Sefardi? Why does the Rabbi always answer my question with, "well, it depends on who you follow"?

This course is a must, if you want to understand the structure and formation of Judaism today!!!

Monday 6pm-7pm "Kabbalah and Psychology"

This lecture will explain what the similarities and mainly the differences between Kabbalah and Psychology.

Why does the Kabbalah give answers that Psychology can't? Why are so many people turning to Kabbalah for help? What can you get from Kabbalah?

Tuesday 6pm-7pm "How did we get 613 mitzvoth? who's counting?"

Ever wondered how our Rabbi's come up with 613 mitzvoth. What makes a mitzvah a mitzvah? Does everyone agree about the 613 mitzvoth? (of course not)

Wednesday 6pm-7pm "Jewish philosophy, who are the main contributors"

Judaism is a well debated Faith. Our Rabbi's have never taken anything on face value. We have debated the greatest of minds. Judaism has outlived the greatest of philosophies. What do they have to say?

Thursday 6pm-7pm "A Yeshiva look into the Parsha"

We will take an in depth look at our Parsha the Yeshiva style. Text based, and many questions. If you would like to experience Yeshiva, this is for you.

Kettle chips

2009-12-09T18:23:00.000-08:00

Everyone Just a quick note to clarify the situation with Kettle Chips, these are NOT kosher when a "3" appears after the used by date or in the product code at the bottom of the packet. Almost all of the stock in WA has a "3" and are therefore not kosher. The only Kettle Chips that are kosher have a "2" by the used by date or product code.

Shabbat parshat Vayetze

2009-11-28T04:01:00.000-08:00

Bh
Its a strange thing now Friday evenings to come to shule and it still is light.
Mincha was said at 630pm followed by Kabbalat Shabbat. For some strange reason Rabbi White led all the services.
On Friday night the Rabbi spoke about chasing love and happiness and not realizing that it is what we have already. The idea was expressed from Jacob. He married two wives, one he loved and adored, the other he disliked. Strangely, the majority of his children came from the one disliked. He lived mainly with the one that he disliked and was even buried with her. Yet the one which he loved only brought him joy on distant occassions. The cherished child from his loved wife was taken from him.
When we think that we are married to two people the one we love and the one we dislike we are bound to end up with the one we dislike. When we realize that the one we love also has faults and therefore is the same one that we love we are bound to find joy and happiness. Try it and tell me what you find.
It was great to see Allan and Chymie at shule this week. We have missed them dearly.
We farewelled those going to Dave Birks wedding in the USA.
Thank you to the Luries for hosting all the children in the afternoon.
See you all next week for another Shabbat at Chabad!

Today I had the privilege of writing a letter in Gabi and Rivki's Sefer Torah. All the shluchim had the opportunity to write a letter.
Tonight we will be together all of us to remember.

First minyan in 770

2009-11-12T02:22:00.000-08:00

Bh
From the earliest moment till the last 770 will have a minyan.
These first minyanim are made of people that work in Manhattan etc. Most chabadniks actually have normal jobs, would you believe.

Just arrived to the Beis Midrash. Full of life. I met Rabbi Groner from Melbourne sitting and learning. I can sit and still feel what I was doing when I was a Bachur here.

The Ohel at 2am

2009-11-11T22:38:00.000-08:00

Bh
After arriving safely, the first stop is the Ohel. The resting place of the Rebbe and his Father in law.
It is 2 am but still has people coming and going. Shluchim are coming in from all over the world. Here now are some from Melbourne, Israel, France, Russia and LA.
They have left hot soup for us to enjoy in the freezing cold. There are some young students studying, others sitting and writing a letter. Everyone is asking for a blessing, advice or just visiting.
We sit and watch a video of the Rebbe, reminding us what we can and need to accomplish in the world.
If you would like to send a letter I will be going again in a few days.

Bh
Sitting for over 6 hours in Sydney looking at the reason for our delay. Yes the double decker plane has already a nice history of issues.
The lesson to be learnt, the difference between Hashem and human. Hashem has created a world so diverse and involved yet all in order. When did you ever hear an announcement that the sun is having mechanical issues and therefore will be late.

After being a victim to Jetstars usual flight cancellations and 4 hours later I will be boarding now a Qantas plane to Sydney.

The journey begins...

Shabbat Parshat Lech Lecha @ Chabad

2009-10-31T20:45:00.000-07:00

BH
It was a quiet shabbos at the Chabad House this week. Adam Levitan sang the Kabbalat Shabbat service beautifily. It is always great to see the singing and dancing during davening.
Rabbi White gave a talk about Avraham's journey to discover his true self. Our society has been shaped by three major influences Marx, Shpinoza and Freud. Each touching on the idea that we are all victims affected by our surroundings. All lacking a true freedom to act out of free choice. Marx saying that we are victims of our land, our social stand, a land owner or laborer. Shpinoza claiming that we are victims of birth, from the time we are born we are biologicly programmed and will live accordingly through out life. And of course Freud stating that we are all victims of our childhood, our relationship with our parents will shape the choices we make later on in life. Interestingly Hashem tells Avraham to go to himself leaving his "Land, birthplace and Fathers home". Avraham teaching us that we are need not be victims rather we are able to have an active and responsible role in the life we choose to live.
Shabbat morning shiur was interesting. The topic of an active Shabbat. Shabbat is not what we cannot do, rather it is what we are able to do. The beauty of Shabbat is enabled by the prohibited element but it is what we do that makes it so special.
Rabbi White led the morning services. Gabi Terry read from the Torah and haftorah. Gilad Lurie davened mussaf.

Shabbat parshat Noah @ Chabad

2009-10-26T06:54:00.000-07:00

Bh
This last Shabbat was very nice. Friday night were around 50 people in attendance. Moshe Rosner led the Kabbalat Shabbat services very elegantly. Leha Dodi started with a bit of a stutter but was soon suing with all the gusto. (Thanks Yoni)
The Rabbi spoke about the difference between Noah and Abraham. Noah was very a righteous man yet was too obedient. He lacked the sense of responsibility. Noah allowed Hashem to destroy the world. Avraham on the other hand when told that Sodom and Amora were going to be destroyed, Avraham argued with Hashem. Avraham tried to find a merit to save the people. This is what is brought in a Midrash. A King had a young child which the King advised him to walk with him, but to his older child the King advised to walk infront of the King. Hashem told of Noach that he walked with Him. On the other hand Avraham it is said walked before Hashem.
Shabbat morning began with a shiur on the meaning of Hakhol Yoducha. This was enjoyed by the men who attended.
The morning services were led by Gilad Lurie.
Moishe Rosner and Gabi Terry read from the Torah. Peter Glas read beautifuly the haftorah.
Kiddush was sponsored by the Lurie Family in honour of Chaya Sarah, the new addition to the family.

On the eve of Yom Kippur the age old custom of kaparot was kept even in Perth, WA.
The chickens were well looked after and great care was taken not to mishandle them. The chooks even got a bath and shampoo.
