Mivtzoyim Roundup

Over the last half year, Friday weekly Mivtzoyim has expanded to over 50 routes.
Chanukah was a major success, with outreach efforts focussed in Bentleigh, Brighton, East Brighton, Moorabbin, and the CBD. This year, the Menorah kits included candles that burned for ninety minutes instead of thirty, allowing the Mitzvah to be observed in the best possible manner.

The students also organized a community Menorah parade, with close to a hundred vehicles participating. Menorah kits were distributed along the parade route, and many pedestrians were reminded of the Chanukah festival.

Purim activities included the packing and distribution of over 1,000 Shalach Manos, 20 Purim parties hosted at various homes and workplaces, and 75 Megillah readings with over 1,500 participants. Some of the students also travelled to Mildura and to Brisbane, bringing the joy of Purim with them.

The Shluchim and students are currently coordinating Passover-Australia, with Seders being organized around the country.
