Girls Seminary Begins Year

Ohel Chana in Melbourne, Australia was the first Chabad girls seminary to begin its program this year.

The students of 5772 began their year down under with a chassidic farbrengen with Rabbi Aaron Lazer Ceitlin, a known Shliach and Mashpia from Tzfas, Israel, this past Motzoei Shabbos.

Rabbi Ceitlin shared with them inspirational stories about the Rebbe’s father Rabbi Levi Yitzchok Schneerson OBM, some of which he heard from a resident in Tzfas who was with the Rebbe’s father in his exile in Alma Ata, Kazakhstan.

He also related how close we are to Moshiach, and that even though the Satan will try his hardest to make us fall, we should know that we are in the generation who will receive Moshiach and how important it is to utilise every moment in Seminary to the utmost in Limud hachasiddus and Darkei hachassidus.

“The stimulating farbrengen set the mood with the students looking forward to continued inspiration in an enriching year in Melbourne,” said the seminary’s dean Rabbi Levy Tenenbaum.

A capacity number of students had come the day prior from cities around the world, who spent their first day acclimatizing themselves to the spacious dormitory complex.

A warm welcome and get-to-know you Shabbos afternoon was arranged with the high school students of the Beth Rivkah, with a Neshei Chabad community welcome being planned in the coming week.

Ohel Chana – Werdiger Learning Institute looks forward to a very fulfilling year for all its students and on behalf of Anash and the Melbourne Jewish community, warmly welcomes its students to Melbourne and wishes them Hatzlocho Rabbah for the coming year.
