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!
