Australian Shadarim

This thread will provide more information about the early shadarim to visit Australia.

In 1879-1880, the earlier trickle of shadarim turned into a flood, with 3 visiting simultaneously. First to arrive was R. Yosef Hurwitz of Yerushalayim (pictured). Image R. Hurwitz arrived in Melbourne in March 1879, collecting for a soup kitchen in Yerushalayim (Geelong Advertiser, March 15).

By July he was in Sydney, where the Sydney Morning Herald (July 19) reported in greater detail. The locals were happy with the cause and recommendations. Image
