Two new rabbis have travelled from New York to network with Bermuda's Jewish community.

Boruch Negin, 23, and Avrohom "Avi" Korer, 25, hope to "try to meet everyone who is Jewish wherever they are, all over the Island", Mr. Negin said.

It's not that difficult to travel here even on a scooter, he said.

They want to encourage Jews to get involved or stay involved in Judaism by talking and meeting with as many people as possible.

The rabbis have "a lot of appointments lined up" and they brought a "heavy suitcase" filled with Jewish books, educational arts and crafts and religious items to share with everyone they meet.

"We want to make Judaism fun. It shouldn't be a chore, especially for the children," Mr. Korer said.

Since their arrival on July 7 they have been meeting and talking with members of the Jewish community.

"People are very happy we came," Mr. Korer said. "The Jewish connection means a lot."

Mr. Korer said he had known he wanted to be a rabbi since he was 17.

"I was just a teenager going through life carefree and then I started to take things more seriously."

He continued: "To have the opportunity to teach someone else and be involved in a community is a very meaningful experience."

Mr. Negin is not "100 percent sure" that he doesn't want to study something else as well.

But he plans to stay involved in "a process" that is the foundation of his life.

"Being a Jew you're always on a mission in life to encourage people to do good and tell them what you know."

The two men comprise one of the 101 groups visiting Jewish communities around the world.

Mr. Korer said the number of groups was significant since it marks the 101st birthday of Lubavitch Rebbe who was the grand rabbi of The United Lubavitch Yeshiva in Brooklyn, New York, where both men completed advanced rabbinical studies.

Lubavitch Rebbe inspired the Chabad Movement, a movement to unite Jews worldwide, empower them with knowledge of their 3,300 year-old tradition, and foster within them a deeper connection to Judaism's rituals and faith.

They explained that Chabad has centres worldwide to provide support to Jewish communities and people.

Mr. Negin added that a professor at New York University said: "When they finally arrive on Mars they'll find Coke and a Chabad house."

"It could be called the Starbucks of Judaism," he said.
