MISSION ... Rabbis Chaim Lipskier and Leibi Marozov are visiting areas in North Queensland to arrange Passover gatherings 

CHAIM Lipskier, a 24-year-old rabbi from New York is preparing for Passover in Townsville, with help from his mother.

"I am trying to get my mother to send me a recipe for matzo. flat bread," Mr Lipskier said on Monday.

He said he and fellow rabbi Leibi Marozov, 23, of Montreal, would provide the traditional Seder plate and probably bake flat bread for a Passover meal on April 23.

The two men arrived in the North about a fortnight ago after a three-day drive from Melbourne in a campervan they call the Mitzva Tank.

They are on a mission for a Jewish outreach organisation, the Chabad of Rural and Regional Australia, to contact Jews in the North.

While they say there is no Jewish "community" in Townsville, they have a list of about 30 people whom they are contacting.

"The point of the visit is that there are no established (Jewish) communities in North Queensland," Mr Lipskier said.

"The closest synagogue is on the Sunshine Coast, so our intention is to give every Jewish person the chance to meet rabbis, and discuss issues."

The venue of the Passover celebration has not yet been decided. The rabbis can be contacted on 0425-788870, or e-mail [email protected]
