History
Rabbi Shmuel Gurewicz and his wife Chava were sent by the Lubavitche Rebbe
to Melbourne Australia 35 years ago. Rabbi Gurewicz was sent especially
from the Holy land with the mission of becoming principal of the Chabbad
girls school in Melbourne, Beth Rivkah Ladies College, which has become
one of the most successful schools in Australia. This is as the Rebbe
wrote to Rabbi Gurewicz "that there will be success beyond the natural
order." Rabbi Gurewicz merited receiving specialized, detailed instructions
and guidance from the Rebbe on educating young Jewish women in general,
and Chabbad girls in particular.
Rabbi Gurewicz decided to open an educational framework for young Chabbad
women in the Eretz Yisrael, as instructed by the Rebbe in his last letter
to him "to influence in every place his hand reaches" Thus Michlelet
Morasha was founded.
