Machon Chana for women held an inspiring Melava Mallka and boutique auction Motzei Shabbos, with guest speakers and musical entertainment.
Machon Chana alumna Mrs. Timmy Rubin, Melbourne’s mikva lady and Australia’s only Jewish female prison chaplain, chaired the evening. She introduced Rabbi Shlomo Majeski, the Principal of Machon Chana, who addressed participants.
Guest speaker for the evening was Mrs. Chevie Lipskier. Mrs. Lipskier’s talk on Emunah and Bitachon – faith and trust that we are “in Good Hands” – empowered and inspired her listeners.
Machon Chana students entertained with a musical interlude.

OYYYYY, how I wish I could be back in Machon Chana where my biggest problem was not washing my hair over three day shabbos and Yom tov stretch!!! Rabbi Majeski, Rabbi Paltiel, Rabbi Baras, Rabbi Hanoka, and all others, you always have a special place in my heart!!! Hatzlacha always
I am sure the Rebbe is having great nachas from Machon Chana
This was one of the most inspiring auctions I have ever been to!! Chevie Lipskier spoke from the depths of her heart and truly inspired us with a powerful message!
Everything unfolded in such a beautiful, “bacheint” way. Rabbi Majeski, Chevy Lipskier, Timmy Rubin — thanks to each of you for inspiring us in your inimitable way, with emunah, bitachon and delightful, rollicking humor. It was an event I will remember and carry with me for a long time. I feel sorry for everyone who missed it! But you can still donate much-needed funds to Machon Chana and reap the simcha shel mitzvah and zechus for yourselves, that will benefit the worthy students — and the entire Jewish people — until Moshiach comes. (Let it be now.)
