Members of the Jewish community in Melbourne, and some of Australia’s known rabbis gathered Monday to celebrate the ordination of 12 new Chabad rabbis.
They have been learning in Heichel Menachem Machon Chaim, the renowned smicha institute founded by philanthropist Rabbi Yosef Gutnick and directed by Rabbi Feitel Levin.
After intense learning to become immersed in halacha, the bochurim were tested by Boro Park posek Rabbi Gavriel Zinner. On hand for their final exam and awarding them their rabbinic certificates was Kiryat Malachi Chief Rabbi Yitzchok Yehuda Yaroslavsky and head of the Chabad Beis Din in Israel.
The 18th group of ordained are Eliezer Adelist, Avrohom Feldman, Yaakov Shmuel Golomb, Pinchos Huberman, Mosher Kramer, Yehoshua Lefkowitz, Yosef Shapiro, Mordechai Yair Schochet, Sholom Dovber Stiefel, Shimon Shmerling, Yehezkel Tuvel and Yaakov Yehuda Hecht.
The new rabbis distributed gifts to the Hanhala and spoke words of Torah and gratitude to Hashem, thankful to Rabbi Gutnick and Rabbi Lewin for creating such a world-renowned program, and thankful for the opportunity to carry out the Rebbe’s directive of bochurim receiving Smicha.
Dont forget Rabbi Levin. An jem of a person that everyone should respect.
Somebody we should all learn from!

YEKA ALL THE WAY!!
That was Rab-tie!
Yosel Gutnick didn’t fly in from Singapore for the occasion?
another Rabbi Schochet joins the fold…..mazel tov, Motty! Zaidy and Bubby are so proud of you!
I want to send my son next year. It’s known as the place for mitzuyanim. I was told that there is no program next year. It is officially closing. Such a shame.
And probably almost anywhere. Solid written tests, oral tests, farhers on the whole thing at once from Rabbi Tziner, and all the extra required (availus, yuchsin, all of Shabbos, vichulu) it is a real program and one to be proud of! I did it too!
BEST YEAR EVER, JUST ASK SILKOWE!!
Mazel Tov Yanky Hecht from the Forti family!
