Shabbos #2 Report

This past Shabbos was the most unique one I've ever seen in my life (yes, I know I said the same thing last week). We had a few visits and errands to run on Friday afternoon and two hours before shabbos we found ourselves in a Israeli's real estate office. So while he was putting on tefilin we quickly checked online to see if there was any nearby motel where we could settle for Shabbos. There were none. So we kindly asked the fellow, whose office we had casually crashed only 15 minutes prior, if we could continue our crashing ceremony at his house for the next 26 hours. He saw our desperation and agreed. So we arrive at his house and quickly realize that the one bed that he had in his house was actually his own and there weren't any extra beds in the house, NO WORRIES! So we decide to just crash in our now unpowered RV for Shabbos and we took all necessary items up to his kitchen.

All things taken care of we had the most amazing Shabbos ever. The Israeli invited over another Israeli and there we were: two Chabad bochurim in middle of some little apartment in Cairns, singing, farbrenging and telling Jewish stories late into the Shabbos night- sharing in what was probably the most remarkable display of Ahavas Yisroel I have ever seen.
