It’s a goal

Nearly half the Maccabi-Hakoah’s over-45 Division 2 Men’s Football team are current or past Emanuel parents. Mazal tov to the team who sealed the 2020 Eastern Suburbs Football Association Premier Title win and then played in the grand final on the 18 October 2020, only to lose to the one team to have defeated them during the entire regular season, Lokomotiv Cove. We wish them good luck for next season.

This photo also includes some of the ten Emanuel alumni who were also nominated in various Young Adult categories. Missing from this photo is Ben Wilheim who won the Young Adult contribution to Australian Society award and is our guest speaker for our Gesher online speaker session on the 11 November 2020. We would love to see some of our students and alumni nominated for this year’s awards.This short video highlights last year’s presentation evening.
