This evening's Leil Shishi programme was the finale of a project run in Tuesday lessons with Rabbi Schwarz. Year 9 and Year 10 boys were paired together to write a summary of the life a of a Rishon, a rabbi from the 11th to 15th centuries. Presentations and presenters hared their research with the groups as a whole and did exceptionally well.
Each report was then fixed on a map so boys can pinpoint where the Rishon lived.

In honour of Rosh Chodesh Kislev, the boys were treated to a musical Hallel led by R'Lipa Tomlin and a donut and hot chocolate breakfast following davening. May it be a month of blessing for all.
Tonight the boys learning focus was on understanding what is the concept of a 'Land of Israel' and connection through history, community, learning and home. It is our prayer that peace and harmony is restored to the region and we return soon.
This week's guaest speaker at Toras Yavneh was ex-Yavneh Head Boy, Saul Bishop who shared thoughts and ideas on Parshas Vayera which he called 'a phenomenal moment in Jewish tradition." We see Avraham attempt to save the people of Sodom and Gomorrah while Hashem plans to indiscriminately wipe out the cities. Abraham cries out to Hashem that no matter how few righteous dwell in these cities, they are worth saving.
Rabbi Rickman spoke about how Hashem loves us, regardless of mistakes that we may make. We followed the learning with a most moving Kumzits with singing and sharing ideas of Achdus (solidarity) with those in Eretz Yisrael. Music was led by Rav Gavriel Wulwick on keyboard. and Mendy Leitner on guitar.
We were delighted to welcome Year 6 boys and parents to our annual 'Open evening. Thank you everyone who attended.
