The Untold Story of Chabad’s First Shluchim Down Under

Who was the first Chabad chasid in Australia? Ask any Australian Lubavitcher this question, and you will be told—R. Moshe Feiglin. But while the Feiglins did certainly lay the foundations for contemporary Chabad in Australia, there is also a fascinating pre-history of Chabad shadarim and residents in Australia, dating all the way back to 1856 (5616). In honor of Australia Day this Monday, From the Margins of Chabad History tells the stories of these colorful pioneers.
