JeneScreen

This is a research project which offers BRCA screening for eligible members of the Jewish community in Sydney and Melbourne. This testing is being offered to all eligible Jewish people for free, irrespective of a family history of cancer, and will test for the three BRCA faults that are common in the Jewish population.

David Asher Brook (Class of 1998)

How many of us have walked past and admired the amazing artwork on the stairwell down to the LLC and the Millie Phillips Drama Theatre? This canvas was the brainchild of alumnus artist David Asher Brook, one of our graduates, and his wife Hanna. David’s connections with the School do not stop there – his first cousin Shana Kerlander is a current parent – their mothers are sisters.

There is still time to visit David’s latest exhibition Topography at Artsite Galleries, Camperdown which was officially opened last Sunday with Special Guest, Professor The Hon Dame Marie Bashir AD CVO – see poster in Community Announcements for further details

New South Wales Jewish Board of Deputies (NSWJBD)

Vic and Juliette

Members of our extended Emanuel School community have for many years, included connections with NSWJBD from staff to presidents of this vital organisation which celebrates its 75^th anniversary this year (www.nswjbd.org), and we now welcome their CEO Vic Alhadeff and his wife Nadene as new grandparents at the School, as we do all other new grandparents. Vic is former Editor of the Australian Jewish News and also former Chairman of Multicultural NSW, author of two books on South African history, and he has run 25 marathons. He is proud to have his grand-daughter, Juliette Gavshon, at Emanuel School. “She’s our first grandchild at school, and it’s wonderful to see her flourishing and enjoying the experience,” he said.
