Bochurim Join for Australia Kinus

Over this past weekend the Kinus Talmidei Hashluchim of Australia took place at Chabad North Shore, Sydney to share advice and experiences to inspire one another.

Organized by the 4 Bochurim of CNS (Chabad North Shore) Tzviki Chein, Mendel Inglis, Mendy Lebowitz and Avi Sperlin together with assistance from Chanoch Sufrin, Ari Kapeluschnik and other workers at CNS.

The Kinus was participated by the following organizations Chabad of Bondi Junction, Chabad of Double Bay, Chabad of Dover Heights, Chabad North Shore, South Head Synagogue, Yeshivah Centre Sydney, Yeshivah College Melbourne, Yeshivah Gedolah Melbourne and Chabad Youth NSW.

It all kicked off with a Thursday night Farbrengen led by Rabbi Gourari. He addressed the Shluchim how even on Shlichus one should still pursue the regular activities of a Chossid. The farbrengen continued till the wee hours of the morning.

Continuing Friday morning, despite their fatigue, the Talmidei Hashluchim came to a morning Seder Chassidus “Der Rebbe’s Seder” with a Shiur given by Rabbi Nochum Schapiro, Shliach of North Shore, Sydney.

Following Breakfast, there was workshops and Mivtzoim including an address by Head Shliach to NSW Rabbi Pinchus Feldman (see program below).

The highlight of the weekend was the Shabbos together with over forty Talmidei Hashluchim Farbrenging amongst each other with Nigunim and inspiring each other with stories and a tremendous Chayus.

The Kinus climaxed with an exciting Banquet. Community members Joel Edelman and Tony Mitchell spoke about the immense impact the Shluchim have on the community, followed by the keynote address given by Rabbi Levi Wolff (Central Synagogue) sharing beautiful insights and stories of Shlichus experience. The roll call was then done by Hashlich Mendy Mentz, followed by ‘spontaneous dancing.’

Special thanks to Rabbi & Rebbetzin Schapiro and the North Shore Jewish community for hosting the Kinus.
