I'm off to the Australian Lubavitch Women's Convention tomorrow

To all my Fellow Repentants,


Tomorrow, Friday Australian time, I will be off to Jambaroo, a country town outside Sydney, Australia to attend  the Lubavitch Women's Convention. I will be bringing my trusty laptop and camera and hope, G-d willing, to come back with a  blog post reporting all the goings one, hopefully with some inspiration too.
