Kinus Torah Shavuos - 5771
The Rabbinical College of Australia & New Zealand (Yeshivah Gedolah – Melbourne) hosted a communal Kinus Torah on Sunday the tenth of Sivan (June 12, 2001). The Kinus was convened in conjunction with Shavuos, as per the Rebbe’s directive that a Kinus be held on, or immediately after, each Yom Tov. The event featured a large and diverse crowd, who thoroughly enjoyed the wide variety of subjects addressed at this year’s Kinus. Click here for more information, and for photos of the event.

Alumni gather in Crown Heights
In spirit of the month of Sivan, when the Jewish Nation camped at Mount Sinai with complete unity, Shluchim and Alumni of Yeshivah Gedolah currently located in New York arranged a special Achdus (unity) Torah learning session. The attendees enjoyed the wonderful opportunity to bond and reunite with old classmates and friends, and help each other prepare for Kabbalas Hatorah B’simcha Ub’pnimius (receiving the Torah with joy and internalising it).

Farbrengen
 A farbrengen is a Chassidic gathering in which the participants inspire each other, in the spirit of true ahavas yisroel (love for one's fellow jew), to lead an exemplary Jewish life. In this new series, we offer you a small sample of the farbrengens that our students attended. What a Hasidic farbrengen can achieve, even the angel Michoel cannot achieve!"

Outreach: Passover Australia
 ANNUAL REPORT
Pesach 5771 saw groups of students travelling to many parts of Australia to arrange Seders for their Jewish communities. Cities visited included Byron Bay, Coffs Harbour, Cairns, Darwin and Fremantle. Their visits enabled over five hundred people to attend Seders across Australia. Aside from conducting communal Seders (Sedarim), the Shluchim utilized their visits to offer guidance and encouragement, and to provide religious items such as Mezuzot, Tefillin, Jewish Books and Kosher food, wherever needed.

 IMPACT IN FREMANTLE:
In a letter to the editors, Marc Zweier (Moshe Hersch ben Mendel Zweier) tells how Passover-Australia, and his encounters with the Yeshivah Gedolah students, changed the course of his life and that of his family. In fact, Marc and his wife Lea recently moved to Perth, in order to enable their daughter Zoe to attend a Jewish school.
