The Shule serves as a vibrant place of Torah and Tefilla for all of its members. The Nusach of the Shule is Nusach Sefard and the custom of the Shule follows the Chassidic Polish customs in Tefilla and Song.

Two daily Minyonim for morning tefillos are well attended each weekday and held at 6:15AM and 7:00AM. Each day, Mincha at sunset, is followed by a Shiur and then Maariv at nightfall.

On Shabbos morning, the Shule houses two primary minyanim; the 'Main Shule' and the 'Youth Minyan' - training up the Baalei Tefilla and Baalei Kriah of the next generation.

Many Shiurim are given in the Shule on Shabbos and during the week. These Shiurim, delivered in English or Yiddish are given on a broad range of topics and texts. Some Shiurim have been going for over 40 years. The Shule has many Talmidei Chachomim delivering and attending Shiurim and claims to have one of the highest ratios of members attending Shiurim in all Shules in Melbourne.

Shiurim are given on diverse topics and texts including Gemora incorporating Daf HaYomi, Mishnayes including Mishna Yomi, Mishna Berura, Kitzur Shulchan Oruch, Tanach, Sefas Emes, Yismach Yisroel, Minchas Chinuch, Ein Yaakov and Kli Yokor. The Shule has built up an extensive library of Hebrew and English Seforim, which are well used by members.

The Shule is famous for its prevalent "leibedike" Kiddeishim, with a special mix of lechayims - whiskey, herring, onions, Divrei Torah and nigginim. During Seuda Shlishis, a wide range of local and guest speakers are encouraged to present Divrei Torah.

The Shule also distributes its popular Newsletter - Online and Offline weekly editions with a readership locally and overseas. The Shule website gives details of Tefilla times and current events, as well a pictorial history of the Shule.

Periodically throughout the year, our Shule is host to numerous communal and youth activities including the ever popular Lag B'Omer Bonfire, Melave Malkes, Tikkun Leil Shavuos and Tisha B'Av programs, Simchas Beis HaShoeva celebrations on Sukkos. Our famous Lag Bomer Bonfire extravaganza has grown to be come a communal family event attended by many hundreds of people from all sections of the community.

The Shule also hosts well attended Seudos Mitzva celebrating Siyumim of the various Shiurim or commemorating the Yahrzeits of Chassidic Rebbes.

The Youth Minyan conducts a childrens' Davenning competition, Shiurim, Yomtov programs, Sukka Hopping, Purim Dressups, Chanuka Soccer Match and BBQ.

The Shule engages in many forms of Chesed. Tzedoka appeals are promoted for worthy causes in Israel, raising thousands of dollars each year. The Shule also operates a Free Loan Gemach and various Tzedoka funds.

A special Yasher Koach to the Gabboim, Board and all the Mispallelim for their unique and valued contributions in making our Shule such a special and treasured place.
