Committed to Accessible Jewish Education
Rabbi Y.D. Groner was the esteemed Rav and Director of the Yeshivah Centre and the Leader of the Chabad Organisation in Melbourne for 50 years. Born in Brooklyn, New York in 1925, Rabbi Groner was selected by the Lubavitcher Rebbe in 1958 to be his personal emissary for Jewish communal activities in Australia.

 

Rabbi Groner was a towering personality with a boundless love for people, dedicating his life to Jewish education and caring for the community. Throughout Rabbi Groner’s lifetime thousands of children from needy homes who were unable to pay full fees, received a quality Jewish and General education at Yeshivah-Beth Rivkah Colleges.

 

 

 

His passionate and dynamic commitment to all will have Rabbi Groner remembered as “the most outstanding leader Australian Jewry has ever had.” Isi Leibler AO CBE at Rabbi Groner’s Shloshim

With the rising costs of school fees, the affordability of Jewish education is becoming increasingly challenging for many families. The subsidising of parents on reduced fees contributes to the cost of education and increases the cost of school fees for all. By providing perpetual scholarships, the Foundation not only ensures that Yeshivah-Beth Rivkah can continue its open door policy but also drives down school fees.

Your involvement in the Rabbi Groner Foundation can make a life changing difference to a Jewish child.
