Yeshivah Centre, Melbourne

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Yeshivah Centre is an Orthodox Jewish umbrella organisation in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia that serves the needs of the Melbourne Jewish community. It is run by the Chabad-Lubavitch movement, until recently, under the direct administration of Rabbi Yitzchok Dovid Groner. Rabbi Zvi Telsner has been brought as the new Dayan (rabbinical judge) of the Centre and Lubavitch community. The Yeshivah Centre was established by a group of Jewish migrants in the late 1940s in response to a massive postwar influx of Jews to Melbourne. In 1949, Yeshivah Centre opened a Jewish day school with only 3 full time students. This led, in 1954, to the purchase of the Yeshivah College campus. This was followed by the purchase of the Beth Rivkah Ladies College campus in 1959. In 1958, Rabbi Y.D. Groner arrived in Melbourne as an emissary of the Lubavitcher Rebbe in order to take up the position of full time Director of the Yeshivah Centre, and appointed honorary officers to assist him in operating the organisation. The first matriculation of students took place in 1965 with a class of 8 boys.
