Message from a Chief Rabbi

We were honoured to welcome guest speaker Rabbi Yehuda Leib Lewis, former Chief Rabbi of Amsterdam, who shared uplifting and thought-provoking insights with our students in the lead-up to Rosh Hashana.
Rabbi Lewis captivated the boys with a powerful lesson drawn from the symbolism of bee's honey. He explained how kosher honey, produced by non-kosher bees, teaches us a profound message: greatness can emerge from each of us, no matter how we may view ourselves. This reflection serves as a reminder that our potential is not defined by our past or perceived limitations. He also connected this idea to the Rosh Hashana Torah reading of Hagar and Yishmael, emphasizing that if Hashem could listen to their prayers - despite their seemingly undeserving nature - then surely He will hear ours as well.
The boys were fully enraptured by Rabbi Lewis’ message, leaving them with a renewed sense of inspiration and purpose as they approach the Yamim Noraim.
Wishing you and your families a Kesiva Vechasima Tovah
