We are very excited to welcome a new couple to Australia, who will soon be embarking on a RARA Road Trip.
Rabbi Mendel and Chana Benjaminson have opted to take time out of their (American) summer break to reach out to people living in regional Australia.
Mendel's first stint with RARA was last year, when he and a friend spent 6 weeks in Western Australia, visiting isolated families. After he finished his trip and returning back to the US, he found his soul mate, and Mendel and Chana got married in January this year.
Chana grew up in Austin, Texas, and has always been involved in Jewish outreach. Her parents began their activities in Texas in 1984, and have since built up a strong community.
Next week, Mendel and Chana will be heading off to Gippsland, and then up the South Coast of NSW.
Then Benjaminsons are looking forward to connecting with families in regional VIC and NSW over the next five weeks.
