Australia is one of the biggest cotton producers in the world. And what you might not know is that 40% of Australia's cotton comes from Queensland.
The Rother family arrived in Australia in the 1960's, and for many years have been involved in the cotton industry. Yesterday our volunteer Rabbis spent the afternoon out in the cotton fields.
They met with Howard and his family, and got a full tour of their farm, even managing to lay the Tefillin amongst the endless sea of freshly grown cotton.
No matter where, no matter the industry, you can always stay connected to your heritage!
