The Team

Rabbi Gabi Kaltmann and Rebbetzin Mushka Kantor Kaltmann joined the ARK Centre team in 2017 as Rabbi and Rebbetzin for Programs and Engagement. They were very quickly embraced by the community and became integral to the ARK Centre fabric. In July 2019 they were formally inducted as Rabbi and Rebbetzin of ARK Centre much to the delight of the hundreds who have come to know and respect them as well as to the delight of the broader Jewish community in Melbourne.
Rabbi Gabi and Rebbetzin Mushka are are a dynamic couple with wonderful ideas, warm spirits and genuine love and care for the people of this community.
