Did you know that Shepparton was once home to a large Jewish community? Starting in the early 1900's, there were many Jewish farmers and tradespeople in the region. By the time the 1970's came along, most of the Jewish people had relocated to Melbourne. Fast forward to 2023, and Rabbis Pinchos and Yaacov have spent the past three days visiting Jewish people that are still living in Shepparton today, some still in the fruit growing business! The numberd may have dwindled, but the connections only get stronger. It has been a busy start to the rabbis trip. They'll be heading to Bendigo for the weekend. Follow along to see where their next calling will be to after that.
