Seeking your help

As our thoughts are with the many people affected by the horrendous bushfires, the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies (NSWJBD) has launched an appeal for victims of these catastrophic fires in NSW. See here for more details: www.facebook.com/NSWJBD/posts/1704639299668832

Funds raised will be distributed on advice from the NSW Premier’s Office. The campaign will conclude on Friday 6 December 2019 at 12.00 pm. Some of us have a personal connection with families who have lost everything – our prayers and thoughts are with those who have been affected as well as the amazing fire fighters, both volunteers and professional.

A very busy weekend ahead

Art Hop 2019: 16 to 17 November 2019, 10.00 am to 5.00 pm

“What is this?” you ask. This event is free but artwork will be for sale. It allows us to go to various homes or galleries in the Eastern Suburbs…from Bondi to Vaucluse, looking at diverse art, engaging directly with each artist. Past parent Lia Klugman, a ceramicist whom many of you may already know, often returns to school to work with our children to create their own ceramic masterpieces, has been part of Art Hop for many years as has another past parent Ruth Levine, a Sydney based mixed media and textile artist. Ruth’s son, Toby Evans (Class of 2006), has done all the photographic promotion for this event. Here is a message from Lia “we hope members of Emanuel School, along with friends and family, will come visit us over the weekend for this very exciting exhibition”.
