This time last year, a very special gathering took place in Melbourne. It was the annual Jewish Discovery Weekend, that saw people from all over Australia come to Melbourne to experience a Shabbat within the community.
We asked participants what their most meaningful moment of the weekend was.
Hadassah (Nicole) came from Gladstone with her young son, and was joined by her aunt Susan from Hobart.
“Being able to ask so many questions and connecting with other Jews. I also loved the mikvah. I absolutely loved the weekend and feel so incredibly lucky to have been able to attend. Everyone was so welcoming and generous. I didn’t want the weekend to end.”
The good news is, the weekend is taking place again, in late August. Registration has just opened, available on the RARA website.
Pictured here is Mrs Timmy Rubin (back to camera) giving an overview of the Mikva in Melbourne to participants of the weekend, last year.
