Jewish Life in Brisbane
Brisbane is the capital of Queensland, Australia’s fastest growing state. This growth is also reflected within the Jewish community with a constant flow of new families moving to Brisbane from interstate and overseas.
Chabad Brisbane is situated approximately 15 km southeast of the City centre in the suburb of Carindale, within relative close proximity to the Jewish Communal Centre Queensland (JCCQ).
The JCCQ campus incorporates Sinai College, Queenslands only Jewish day school (Prep – Year 6), the Jewish Communal Centre and the Queensland Jewish retirement village.
A Jewish Kindergarten, Gan Gani, is situated in the Western suburb of Fig Tree Pocket.
Please note: There is no Eruv in Brisbane (yet)
Also note, although the seasons are different in the southern hemisphere nevertheless in the prayers we say the inserts for summer and winter to coincide with Israel and the rest of the northern hemisphere.
If you need to say kaddish while in Brisbane please do not hesitate to contact us to discuss the possibility of additional Minyanim.
