About Us

DaMinyan was founded in 2007 and began as a small Minyan with just 15 members. Since its inception, it has experienced tremendous growth, and now has over 200 congregants, making it one of the fastest growing Shules in Australia.

DaMinyan is a unique Shule that was established to fill a void felt by our youth. Specifically, DaMinyan was created to cater to young Jewish adults from all backgrounds and walks of life. It operates in a warm, accepting and inspirational environment, and aims to ensure that all of its members are imbued with a strong sense of belonging, Jewish pride and community. Combining a serious commitment to Judaism, with a social and friendly atmosphere, DaMinyan is a Shule that has made a real and lasting impact on a significant and diverse range of people.

Leadership

DaMinyan is a run by Rabbi Moshe and Dina Kahn, who work closely with the annually-elected Board of DaMinyan. Under their warm leadership DaMinyan has prospered and flourished.

Moshe and Dina Kahn encourage all DaMinyan members to be actively involved in its running,

ensuring DaMinyan is not only a Shule that is for young adults, but a Shule that is run by young adults.
