Chabad Sparks

Chabad Sparks is a new Chabad Youth group designed specifically to target the wider Melbourne community. The movement is called “Sparks” because its core aim is to reveal the G‑dly Spark within every Jewish youth. Chabad Sparks is a division of Chabad Youth and an initiative of the Yeshivah Centre.

Our Goals:

Goal One: A Youth Movement

A movement designed to give youth a true sense of religious Jewish belonging. Chabad Sparks connects with Jewish Youth in Melbourne’s shules and schools. Our fun activities keep youth involved in religious activity in a creative and diverse way. We also place a strong emphasis on youth empowerment and leadership.

Our movement offers total continuity for children from prep age until Year 12.

The current main features of our movement are:
* Weekly clubs and meetings
* Leadership Training
* Welfare Projects
* Learning Program
* Primary School Day Camps
* Teens Overnight Camps
* Bar/Bat Mitzvah Classes
* Shule children / youth services at Central Shule Chabad, Chabad Malvern and Chabad Bentleigh

Goal Two: Extra-curricular educational workshop provider:
Chabad Sparks is a Melbourne-based extra curricular educational organisation. The Chabad Sparks program targets both Primary and Secondary aged school cgildren. Our activities have been carefully and creatively developed for the purpose of teaching children about the traditional and moral elements of the Jewish religion. Importantly, our program instils children with both knowledge and a sense of cultural pride. Chabad Sparks has run activities in over twenty-five Melbourne schools to date.
