Life Cycle Events

Milestones are marked with family and friends, at Chabad we are all one big family so consider sharing your lifecycle events with us. Chabad ACT has a dedicated team of professional staff and volunteers who can help mark your event in a tailored and appropriate manner.

The ACT has a small Jewish population and as such are lucky to have a Rabbi who can officiate at your events in an official capacity. Rabbi Feldman is available to officiate at:

  • Brit Milot or a Simchat haBat
  • Pidyon HaBen
  • Bar or Bat Mitzvah
  • Marriages and divorces and;
  • Funerals

All events at Chabad are celebrated in a warm and caring manner and in line with standards of the Orthodox community of Australia.
