Rabbonim and Roshei Yeshiva gathered on Yud Aleph Nissan to take part in a
historic event in Melbourne, Australia, at which eighth-grade students celebrated the completion of Masachas Baba Kama.
The founding parent of the Cheder, Mr. Eliezer Kornhauser, told the boys and their parents that it was the vision of Mashpia Reb Arel Serebryanski, who when setting the goal said, “Australia is nisht andersh” – Australia is not different. Reb Arel is of the firm conviction that in 2015, children are capable of learning al Taharas Hakodesh with the same zest and enthusiasm as in Samarkand where he learned as a young boy.
The Rosh Yeshivah Gedola in Melbourne, Rabbi Binyomin Cohen, tested the boys earlier in the day. He encouraged them not to be satisfied with their amazing achievements to date, but to go M’Chayil el Chayil. He also called on the parents to act as real partners for the only Cheder that teaches Limudei Kodesh Kol Hayom in Melbourne, urging parents to spend time every day revising with their sons what has been learned in Cheder.
Each one of the boys came up to the microphone and gave a Dvar Torah from a different perek in the Masachas Bava Kama.
Rabbi Mendel Lipskier thanked the teaching staff of the cheder on behalf of the parents. He said “being a Talmid of Oholei Torah myself it is a great nachas to see that my sons are continuing to get an education al Taharas Hakodesh in Melbourne.
In particular, the boys and their parents expressed gratitude to their Gemoro teacher Rabbi Hendel Serebryanski for motivating them to stay focused on the goal of finishing the Masachas Baba Kama.
The Siyum concluded with a Farbrengen with Rabbi Yaakov Winner, the Mashpia of Yeshiva Gedola in Melbourne.
Truly devoted to Chassidishe upbringing of children in Melbourne.
May their Cheder go מחיל אל חיל
With a school like this- there is a positive future for Chassisshkeit in Melbourne.
Absolutely fantastic bh! We are loving the chinuch our son is enjoying in such a beautiful warm and nurturing environment. Bh we are zoche to this. May R’ eliezer and his eishis chayil, together with the cheder go may chayil el choyil.
Great job!
We love you!
Nothing like being a good ole’ oholei Torahnik down unda!
Go Chezky L!

its beautiful to see
Everyone involved in this cheder warrants praise, but R’ Eliezer Kornhauser should be mentioned in particular. He had a dream and he stuck to it regardless of the tremendous challenges. He is a role model of what a baal ha’bos with the right chassidisher values can accomplish. There are many baali batim in Lubavitch who support many things, but where are the baali batim that are ready to invest BIG in plain simple limud ha’Torah? May Hashem bless R’ Eliezer with continued hatzlocho in all areas of his life, and may there be many many others like him that will… Read more »

Thank you and yasher koach
For all that you’ve done here
I as a parent in the melbourne chabad comunity really wish that this cheder will be open for all grades and ages. Hopefully b’korev mamash Reb Eliezer Kornhauser may he live and be well will expand his wonderfull moised and make it available to all of Melbournes chassidishe families.
The biggest thing needed is the support from the comunity and parents, as well as the interest which will in turn result in a great moised strengthening the yidishkeit of melbourne and chabad in general.
