ChabadNorthQueensland.comChabad House in Cairns, QLD, led by Rabbi Ari Rubin.
Based in Cairns we service the needs of all the Jews in the North Queensland area. We travel to Townsville constantly and based from those two cities we try to reach every single Jew in the area. We are also heavily involved in servicing the needs of the many jews who visit the area as well as the students who study here. Contact us for more information.
Chabad of Rural and Regional Australia is committed to providing for the spiritual, emotional and material needs of Jewish people living away from Jewish centres.
One of the cardinal tenets of Judaism is that are all Jews are one regardless of geographic distance. Irrespective of ones background, standard of observance or depth of knowledge every Jew belongs to Am Yisrael, the Nation of Israel. Every individual has a right to learn and participate in their living heritage.
Chabad of RARA seeks to educate and demonstrate real Judaism; an unbroken chain of tradition going back three millenia. Bringing Judasim into the 21st century by the fusion of technology and religion, social media and Bible study, Sabbath dinner and science improves the rich traditions and modern behaviour alike.Our Rabbis are equally proficient in ancient Jewish law and Twitter; we are open, understanding and friendly.
