Chabad of Bentleigh, Australia, directed by Rabbi Mendel and Leah Raskin celebrated the 6th night of Chanukah with a new Sefer Torah Dedication.
The Torah was dedicated by Mr. Eli Arzouan, a regular member of Chabad Bentleigh, in memory of his father Reuven Ben Zohara and in the merit of his mother for a Refuah Shleima – speedy recovery.
Despite flash storms in the area, a large crowd of over 200 people attended and enjoyed a very spirited celebration.
Besides the Siyum Sefer Torah there were many Chanukah activities for the children.
Towards the end of the celebration, after the Mincha prayer, the large Chanukah Menorah was kindled indoors with dancing continuing to the end of the evening.

What isn’t mentioned is that the rain was pelting down before the Torah Parade, and stopped from the time the Torah was brought outside, until it reached the Chabad House. As soon as it was in the door, the rain started coming down in buckets! The whole event was a Kiddush Hashem.
