Timmy Rubin - From Hippie to CEO of the Mikvah
Charismatic Timmy Rubin’s face lights up when she talks about her job running the Lubavitch mikvah in Melbourne. Timmy (whose Hebrew name is Tamara) has been ‘Mikvah Lady’ for the beautiful “five-star” facility since it opened over 12 years ago.
Saying Timmy is a ‘mikvah lady’, however, is something of an understatement. Timmy is also Australia's only Jewish female prison chaplain and has helped and changed the lives of so many people through what has been and continues to be an inspirational personal journey.
Don't miss this opportunity to hear her extraordinary story.
