Mr. Saul Spigler is a practicing lawyer and forensic geologist. His work often takes him all over Europe where he has succeeded in reclaiming money and estates taken from Jewish people by the Nazis in WWII.

Saul was one of four Yeshiva students who went on the first ever RARA trip over thirty years ago. Their trip covered 10,000 kilometers as they journeyed through N.S.W, S.A and Queensland. His experiences on that trip inspired him to commit himself to running and supporting Chabad of RARA over the years.

Saul’s outreach activities have not been limited to Australia. He has also sent representatives to Singapore, Thailand and New Zealand to run Shabbat and Pesach programs.

Beverly Spigler is the “behind the scenes” manager of Chabad of RARA. She hosts and preps the young Rabbi’s for their trips and makes sure all arrangements for two months on the ‘beating track’ are taken care of. While on the trail Beverly follows up, sending homemade Shabbat dinners for the RARA boys and their hosts.

Beverly certainly knows how to cater, for a number of years she ran Menchinoe’s, Melbourne’s finest Kosher pizzeria.   

The Spigler’s house is known as an open home, full of friends, guests and good times. Many of the RARA community living in Victoria have been guests for a Shabbat meal or Pesach Seder. So be sure to book in and book often!
