A Kosher, Gluten-free Cake for Rabbi Menachem Aron

 

Who said keeping Kosher is limiting?

Wow look at this incredible RARA themed cake that we received from Delish 24. Can you spot all the different details on it? It's got Rabbi Menachem Aron and his whole family in the top, and a RARA Mitzva tank driving around it as well.

And the best part is - it's kosher! And gluten free as well - and very yummy!!!

Good Vibes and Shabbat Shalom, Even in the ER

 

Wishing you a Shabbat Shalom!

Today's photo coming from the Emergency Room in Adelaide, where earlier this week our volunteers Menachem and Asher met up with Eran, who was assisting his friend who had just broken his leg.

We sent lots of good vibes and did our best to cheer up Eran's friend.

Igniting Daily Connection: A Special Gift in the Outback

 

A brand new pair of Tefillin for a Jewish man in regional Queensland! He is so excited to have his own pair to put on every day and pray with.

What a great outcome from a recent visit by our young rabbis.

Expanding Our Reach: A New Vehicle for Jewish Connection


We'd love to purchase this vehicle.

That way we can continue putting volunteers on the road who will provide Jewish connections all over the country.

This would serve as a mpbile meeting point and library for people in regional areas.

Over 50 Years: A Miraculous Moment of Tefillin

 

Menachem and Asher were having a chat with Michelle in Adelaide, when suddenly Les walked by and gave them a nod. Not missing a beat, Menachem said hello, and a few minutes later, Les had the chance to wrap the Tefillin and say the Shema for the first time in over 50 years. He was so happy to reconnect with some other Jewish people.

Wherever you are, you are in the right place at the right time!

You Loved the AI Boat, Now Get Ready for... Half a Plane! (Australia Bound)

 

Based on the incredible response we had to purchasing an AI generated boat to further Chabad of RARA'S outreach effort, we're now looking to expand our fleet into the Australian airspace. This time we're going after something slightly more tangible, only this time it's only half an airplane.

Bonus: do you know where in Australia this is? Drop us a comment below.

Welcome RARA's Newest Missionaries!

 

Welcome to young rabbis Menachem Yaghoubian (left) and Asher Kahan (right). They've taken off from the hot summer in the USA to spend some time warming up the wintery cold here in Australia with their visits to rural and regional Australia.

Tomorrow they'll be heading off to Warrnambool, where they will be hosting a Shabbat meal and connecting with the locals.

Then they head up to Mildura and on to New South Wales!

Look out for the big yellow RARA Mitzva Mobile on the road near you.

RARA's 25-Year Echo: A New Journey of Connection

 

Almost 25 years to the day after Saul Spigler sent out the first two RARA rabbis to visit rural and regional Australia, he's doing it again today!

His inspiration is drawn by the vision of the Rebbe, pictured in the wooden frame on the wall. The Rebbe's love for every person was evident in the thousands of hours he spent counselling and meeting with people.

As is the tradition, the newly arrived young rabbis get a briefing from Saul on what to look out for, as well as a brief run down of some of the best RARA stories from the road.

It might be cold and rainy outside, but Menachem and Asher bring warmth and connection wherever they go.
