Special time for Jewish folk
IN a momentous occasion for the Jewish community, renowned Kabbalist Rabbi Laibl Wolf will be visiting Cairns for a once-in-a-lifetime lecture on the secrets of the Torah this Sunday.
The Kewarra Beach Community Hall will be hosting the world acclaimed Kabbalist Rabbi Wolf on Sunday, July 7, from 6.30pm in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the passing of the Rebbe of the Chabad Lubavitch dynasty Rabbi Menachem Mendel, a significant anniversary for the Chabad in Cairns.
Chabad Centre for Jewish Life in North Queensland’s Rabbi Ari Rubin said this was a historical moment for Cairns.
“We’re bringing out a very special speaker from Melbourne in honour of the 30th anniversary of our leader’s passing, Chabad Lubavitch, the grandmaster of the movement, a real-life Kabbalist,” he said.
“This is the first time that the Cairns community will be hosting a real Kabbalist for the public in NQ and Kabbalah. For those who don’t know, it’s a very deep and old mystical understanding of Judaism so it’s colloquially known as – the secrets of the Torah – and a Kabbalist is a person who has mastered the art of Jewish mysticism.
“Rabbi Laibl Wolf is a world-renowned Kabbalist, his main work published is called ‘Practical Kabbalah’, so we’re expecting a nice-sized crowd. We have already 40 people registered to attend, and we expect more on the day.”
The event is open for everyone, Jewish and non-Jewish to attend, through registration on the Cairns Chabad website.
