Hey Rashi – Eden and Liv here!

Welcome back Rashi to Term 2 of 2017! We are so excited to be back at school and ready to get involved in another busy yet fun term.

On the first day back at school we participated in an ANZAC day ceremony commemorating the lives of our fallen Australian soldiers, along with another ceremony a few days later commemorating Yom HaZikaron, the Memorial Day for the Fallen Soldiers and soldiers who fought against terror and continue to in Israel. Both Eden and I were extremely touched by the stories of camaraderie and bravery that were told during the moving ceremonies.

Transitioning from Monday’s day of remembrance and sorrow, on Tuesday we celebrated Yom Ha’Atzmaut, a great day of Israeli celebration with us all wearing blue and white clothes and munching on delicious falafel from the canteen. In the last two periods of the day we celebrated with plenty of ruach and exciting activities which lifted everyone’s spirits and reminded us how lucky we are to have the Homeland we call Israel.

Entering the second term gives us a chance to think about the goals we set in Term 1 and whether we achieved them or not. If not, then we have a chance this term to strive to achieve them again.

Congratulations to our Rashi babies who celebrated their birthdays over the holidays!
