This Rosh Chodesh Elul, over 250 women from all over Perth, Australia gathered together for a night of unity, inspiration and celebration.
The event was organized in honor of the birthday of Perth Shlucha Odeya White, including women from all over the Jewish community. “We wanted a night were the women could come, feel at home, create friendships and be inspired,” said White.
After mingling at a gourmet buffet, the women were treated to an uplifting speech from Rabbi Y.Y. Jacobson from New York.
Rabbi Jacobson imparted beautiful messages to the guests, focusing on the beauty of giving, the power and importance of the individual and the amazing responsibilities and kochos of Jewish women.
As a memento of the event, the women received a pamphlet of the story of a woman’s journey towards Judiasm. Also included were great recipes for the upcoming Yomim Tovim, and articles about the special features of the month of Elul.
“The feedback from the women was absolutely unbelievable,” said White. “They left feeling uplifted and ready for the month of Elul.”
Can’t wait to get back to Perth next week.
