24.01.2022 We're often told that money can't buy happiness; joy must come from within. But let's be honest: Are we really supposed to think that having nicer things doesn't mean anything? And yet we all know that person who seems to have it all - and is somehow still miserable. So which is it? Classic Jewish sources suggest that what matters most is how we appreciate our life curcumstances and how regulary we express that appreciation. The first class of this years course will be taking place tomorrow evening. To sign up click here www.chabadtas.com/rcs or contact me 0420 550 405

24.01.2022 Yesterday was an auspicious day in the Chabad Calendar. It was the 22nd day of Shevat which commemorates the Yartzeit of Rebbetzen Chaya Mushka. The wife of the Rebbe, and the woman who is responsible for the Rebbe taking on the leadership role he did. The world has much to be grateful to this unassuming woman who did what needed to be done without any fanfare or publicity. World Jewry has forever been changed due to the farsightedness the Rebbetzen had in her husband, the... Rebbe that gave him the confidence to change the world. https://www.chabadtas.com//The-Life-and-Times-of-the-Rebbe

23.01.2022 For most of us Yom Kippur is a laborious and heavy day, but can you imagine it as exciting and uplifting? This lesson will transform Yom Kippur for you, and help you appreciate it as a profound and joyous opportunity. We will explore the theme of Yom Kippur as a day on which G-d yearns to forgive us, examine its many traditions, and learn how each fits the overall theme. We will guide you through the many stages and prayers of the day, exploring their spiritual undertones, while offering step by step guidance coupled with uplifting and inspiring insight. You will learn to appreciate Yom Kippur as a spiritual ladder that we climb through the day until night falls and victory prevails. Tomorrow - Wednesday 7:00pm www.chabadtas.com/zoom

22.01.2022 For those who are unable to join the full Rosh Hashanah services, there will be an extra Shofar blowing.

22.01.2022 Yesterday morning, when entering the Synaogogue for Shabbat morning services , we were greeting by a sight non of us ever expected. It seemed that in the week prior a squatter had found a place to call home. The damage, desecration and defacement that occured was shocking and devastating. With less then 2 weeks until Rosh Hashana, we intend that the Synagogue will be fit for services. It will take effort, finances and hard work but it will get done. ... There is no better way to fight and conquer desecration whether from unfortunate circumstances or anti semetism then to show up in Synagogue during the holiest days of the year. Sign up now www.chabadtas.com/rh2020

21.01.2022 Sukkah is up, (despite the strong winds) The Schach (roof) is struggling, hopefully it will be up and stay up ;) Looking forward to seeing you tonight - please let me know if you are joining. 03 6344 9129 For an opportunity to shake the Lulav and Esrog and make a blessing in the Sukkah - please come round on Sunday from 4pm... Candlelighting tonight: Launceston: 6:01 pm Hobart: 6:01 pm Devonport: 6:04 pm Wishing you a Chag Sa'meach and a windless beautiful Sukkot :)

18.01.2022 Rosh Hashanah Whether you will be at home this Rosh Hashanah or at the synagogue, at a full or an abridged service, this lesson will bring Rosh Hashanah to life and make it meaningful for you. We will examine the underlying themes of the day, its highly symbolic rituals and foods, and its signature prayers. We will explore why we sound the Shofar, what it accomplishes for us, and why its requirements are so precise. Throughout, we will pepper our explanations with deep and fa...scinating insights. You will walk away with a comprehensive understanding of Rosh Hashanah, a profound appreciation for its deeper meaning, and an awareness that we turn over a new leaf as we embrace a new beginning. Tonight 7:00pm chabadtas.com/zoom And on FB live

18.01.2022 Tune in now to listen

18.01.2022 On the eve of Yom Kippur it is customary to bless ones children with the priestly blessing and to bless that they should grow up to be like Efraim and Menashe (the 2 sons of Yosef) and like Sara, Rivka, Rochel and Leah the Matriachs. It is also an opportunity to bestow any other personal blessings to one's children. This has been the custom for generations and there is no age limit. So if you are blessed to have parents or a mother or a father , now is an opportune time ...to ask for their blessings. Ultimately we all have our father in heaven who blesses each and every one of his children as if he or she is His only child. May we all be inscribed and sealed for a year filled with only good things, and blessings in every area of your life.

17.01.2022 Baruch Dayan Ha’Emet. It is with the deepest sadness that we regret to inform you that Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks (HaRav Ya’akov Zvi ben David Arieh z’’l) passed away early this morning, Saturday 7th November 2020 (Shabbat Kodesh 20th MarCheshvan 5781).

07.01.2022 High Holidays goes on - through Covid or not. In fact this year, Chabad in Tasmania has upped its game in ways never done before. There are Rosh Hashana Kits waiting to be hand delivered to those home-bound and isolated throughout the state. The next 10 days will see us on the road (some highways and many gravel, dirt and back roads) ensuring that no one is left behind this High Holiday season. To comply with all healthy and safety regulations including social distancing, a ...meaningful program for Rosh Hashana is being held in a hotel, services and all meals, FREE of charge - as the only way to bring together those who can come in a safe environment. As with every other part of life in this current climate, nothing is simple. Getting Kosher food into Tasmania the last several months has been a mammoth of tasks at astronomical costs. High Holiday shipments were no different. We know you care, and we are so fortunate to count you in as part of the Jewish story in Tasmania. Thank you for your support. Wishing you and your family a happy, peaceful, health and sweet new year with blessings in every part of your life. Yochanan and Rochel See more

06.01.2022 8 Years ago when my mother-in-law was visiting us for the first time, she flew through Abu Dhabi and her flight to Melbourne was cancelled. It looked like she was going to be stuck there for Shabbos. We contacted the "secret Chabad House" in Dubai for help. Although the Rabbi was away he put us in touch with a community member in Abu Dhabi. Lucky my mother-in-law was able to continue her trip and was not stranded in Abu Dhabi for Shabbat. Fast-forward 6 year and my father-in ...law was flying through Dubai when he had a medical incident and ended up in a hospital in Dubai 3 days before Pesach, one of the student rabbi's there for Pesach came to the hospital with food and stayed with him for a number of hours making him feel comfortable in a foreign land. Now for the first time Chabad in Dubai is able to be out in the open, listen to their rabbi on Sinai down under.

06.01.2022 One of the most exciting holidays in the year is around the corner. We sit in the Sukkah, shake the Lulav, sing and dance, while enjoying seven days of wonderful parties and delicious meals. But what is Sukkos all about, why are we so joyful, and what are we celebrating? Join us for a comprehensive lesson on the multiple themes of this fascinating holiday and the deep spiritual meanings that underline them. We will explore the historical and spiritual background of the Sukko...s rituals and examine its unique prayers and traditions. We will walk away with a realization that its many varied traditions revolve around a unique and unified theme that can change the way we relate to each other and the way that we appreciate G-d.

03.01.2022 A Mikvah is the most important and pivotal institution in any Jewish community. In fact a Sefer Torah (Torah scroll) may be sold to fund the construction of a Mikvah! Here is a glimpse of the challenges that Tasmanian women went and continue to go through to use a Kosher Mikvah during Covid-19

02.01.2022 Looking forward to celebrating a covid-safe and enjoyable Chanukah this year :)

02.01.2022 Last year when we were organising the first annual Menorah lighting in Hobart, we were sceptical, would people show up? Will the Menorah work out? Would the cou...ncil make it possible? As luck would have it, it was a smashing success and enjoyable by all. Comes 2020, and we figured chanukah would have to be put in the bag until next year (covid?) Not quite, the Hobart City Council are so excited to have the Menorah lit overlooking the water front. Locals are looking forward to enjoying a bit of "normalicy" and my kids are excited to celebrate Chanukah . Here's to an enjoyable #chanukah2020 #chanukah2019
