Yeshivah Centre, Melbourne

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.

Brief history

The main entrance to the Yeshivah College complex, via the Shul

Facilities

The centre comprises a network of educational facilities that include:

Mincha in the Yeshiva lunchroom

• Yeshivah College, a boys' school;
• Beth Rivkah Ladies College, a girls' school;
• the Yeshiva Shul;
• Kollel Menachem Lubavitch, an outreach-focused full-time Kollel;
• Ohel Chana, a girls' seminary (post-high school full-time Torah study);
• Chabad Youth, an outreach organisation;
• Mivtzoim Melbourne, another outreach organisation;
• a network of creches, and others.

Not all Chabad institutions in Melbourne are officially under this organisation, e.g., the Yeshivah Gedolah Zal (an academy of advanced Talmudic studies for young men). Although the Yeshivah Gedolah is not officially under this organisation, it is still closely tied, and they coordinate activities with Chabad Youth, Mivtzoim Melbourne, and private classes, especially with children from Yeshivah College.
