Purim Celebrated in Rural Australia

Chabad of RARA made Purim events all around Australia this year, with over 300 Jews participating in different locations.

They all had many different stations for activities for the kids as well as a Purim feast for the adults.

The theme in all the events was Israel, which included “Kotel walls” to take photos by, stations to write postcards to Israeli soldiers and Israeli themed food like shwarma and falafel.

Locations included Sunshine Coast, Cairns, Geelong, Toowoomba, Central Coast, Newcastle, Townsville, Dandenongs, Coffs Harbour and Wollongong.

Chabad of RARA is directed by Shaul Spigler, run by Rabbi Yossi Rodal and, Rabbi Ari and Mushkie Rubin have recently opened the first permanent base in the northern part of Australia.
