RABBIS Chaim Moshe Telsner and Mendel Grossbaum are in Mildura spreading the joy of Judaism. From America, the rabbis have embarked on an eight-week Chabad of Rara mission travelling Australia in a brightly decorated campervan. Rabbis Chaim and Mendel said all Jews, irrespective of their background, standard of observance or location, had the right to know more about their unique heritage. Their aim is to locate isolated Jewish people in towns around the country and visit them. Rabbis Chaim and Mendel provide Jewish books, tapes, software programs, internet connection, telephone services, seminars and lectures, as well as a variety of other items, to the people they find along their way. "I just love this, you get to go all around Australia, see the country-side, meet people," Rabbi Chaim said on the organisation's website. "The spark of the Jewish soul con-tinues to burn, be it in Jerusalem, Melbourne, Kalgoorlie or Timbuktu," Rabbi Mendel said. "We are most fortunate to be spending our time kindling that spark." The Rabbis will be in Mildura for another couple of days before moving on to Adelaide.
