- Friday — Shabbat dinner
- Shabbat — Jachnun
- And for holidays and special events — there's always something special on the way
Shishi-Shabbat
The highlight of the week — indulgent Shishi-Shabbat meals in a warm and open atmosphere. Around one table, Israelis, young people from the local community and Jewish travelers from around the world come together to celebrate Shabbat eve.
The tradition of Shabbat meals has accompanied the Chabad House ever since the very first meal, which was born from a chance encounter with a group of travelers — and from it the entire House grew and flourished. To this day, it remains the warm and central point of the week.
On Thursdays we cook for Shabbat — a wonderful opportunity to be part of the preparations; on Friday comes the meal itself, and on Shabbat we continue together with Jachnun.
Barbecue (Monday)
Every Monday evening we hold the weekly barbecue gathering — a regular, beloved get-together that opens the week. The lounge fills with old friends and new faces, around the grill, in a relaxed and social atmosphere.
It's a great opportunity to meet other travelers, swap tips about life in Australia, and simply feel at home.
Pizza Night (Wednesday)
On Wednesdays we hold a pizza night alongside a Life Skills workshop — a combination of a warm social gathering with fascinating, practical workshops for life.
Between one slice and the next, we learn, grow and enjoy together — an experience that blends good taste with content that stays with you long after the gathering.
Holidays and Special Events
Throughout the year, alongside the regular events, the Chabad House hosts holidays and special events — indulgent holiday meals and celebrations in the warm, family atmosphere that characterizes us.
Whether you've just arrived or you're already part of the community — there's always a place around the table, and it's always worth checking what the next special event is.
