0 Comments
On Wednesday, Mr. Avi Rosenfeld delivered a deeply inspirational speech in memory of his beloved son, Natan, who was tragically killed in Gaza five months ago. Mr. Rosenfeld movingly described Natan as an extraordinary person. He highlighted Natan's exemplary character, noting that he never spoke Loshon Hara and refused to judge others, which is why he was cherished by everyone who knew him. The tribute also included the heroic account of Natan's final moments: he was gravely wounded while shielding 16 fellow soldiers from a grenade, which, by a miracle, failed to detonate.
We honour the memory of Natan Rosenfeld and thank Mr. Rosenfeld sincerely for sharing his son’s powerful and enduring story.
Toras Yavneh special guest this week was Mr. Stephen Elias, Chair of Governors, King David High School
This week's Leil Shishi began with Maariv led by Eli Bondt. This was followed by a short introduction from Rabbi Yoel Gold sharing a story where Brochos - and Amen - played a powerful role. Students were split into five learning groups lead by the Rabbonim discussing different aspects of and the importance of Brochos. The boys were highly engaged throughout and this was followed by the boys loudly and proudly making Brochos on the food with people responding Amen.
Just ahead of Remembrance Day, a group of Year 9 students had an insightful visit to the Imperial War Museum, North. This essential trip allowed the boys to deepen their understanding of historical conflicts and the powerful meaning of remembrance. Exploring the exhibits offered a unique perspective on the study of change over time, seeing how world events have shaped our present. The students were wonderful ambassadors for our school, conducting themselves with impeccable behaviour throughout the day. Their respectful engagement with the topics was truly commendable. We hope this experience will stay with them as they observe Remembrance Day.
Many thanks to Mrs. Heaton for coordinating this event for the History Dept and Yavneh Boys Rabbi Daniel Thwaites (from Yeshiva Torah v'Avodah (Baka, Jerusalem) addressed the boys this morning after Shacahrit and reminded the boys of the key message of the importance of Mitzvot between Man and Hashem and Man and Man. He also gave masterclasses with Year 7 and year 9 where he spoke of his experiences in Israel and on shlichut in Canada.
