Breakfast with Emanuel

On Wednesday morning at our Gesher-sponsored Breakfast with Emanuel session, a group of parents and grandparents were privileged to hear from Jewish Life teachers Kobi Bloom and Daniel Samowitz (better known to the students as “Samo”).  Their amazing presentation had the audience captivated as they described how they inspire our High School students with a love of learning about Jewish Life and how the students take on the role of teaching other students. The challenge they said, is to find a way to relate to Judaism. They described what they called “authentic Judaism – meaningful life, love and a way of living” – a life that is not about tolerance but about acceptance, taught and showcased in a safe environment where students can make mistakes and learn from these. 

We thank Emanuel parent Liz Kollias for again providing an amazing venue, The Little Space www.thelittlespace.com.au for this breakfast event.  Feel free to get in touch with Liz if you need a co-working, meeting or event space, conveniently located in the heart of Bondi Junction.
