The Yeshivah Centre is an Orthodox Jewish umbrella organisation in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, that serves the needs of the Melbourne Jewish community. It is run by the Chabad-Lubavitch movement, until recently, under the direct administration of Rabbi Yitzchok Dovid Groner. Rabbi Zvi Telsner has been brought as the new Dayan (rabbinical judge) of the Centre and Lubavitch community.
In 2017, the organisation had the distinction of having the Chief Rabbi of Israel come and address members. Chief Rabbi David Lau attended various venues in Melbourne on his Australia tour.[1]
The centre has been accused of covering up claims of sexual abuse at their institution[2][3] and of retaliating against whistleblowers and victims.[2][4]
