Also sincere thanks to the many commercial sponsors whose advertisements appear in this year's Twelve Tribes event guide |
Courtesy of the organizers (hat tip: RG), here's a brief appreciation of the very successful fund-raising event arranged for the benefit of the Malki Foundation - as well as its supporters - in Melbourne, Australia two weeks ago.
The Australian Friends
of Keren Malki held their second annual Twelve Tribes Kiddush on Shabbat
Parshat Pinchas in the Caulfield Synagogue Hall.
What’s so special about a Kiddush? Here’s the schtick… there were 12 sponsored tables, named after the 12
Tribes, each with a different classy scotch whisky and a different flavoured
herring!
The hall was packed with
more than 250 feinschmeckers from all segments of the Jewish community and
numerous shules… Chareidi, Chasidish, Chabad, Modern Orthodox, Zionist, secular… men
and women (there were even two separate tables for children… no alcohol)…
Without
any doubt, all Twelve Tribes were there!
The
overwhelming vibe was how united the crowd was in support of the fantastic work
being done by Keren Malki.
People were free to walk
around from table to table, the only seating was around the perimeter, in case
someone had one too many!
