Adam Carpenter – Head of Jewish Life Primary

There are two fun and creative video opportunities for students (siblings and brave parents!) in August:

1. JNF Beats Challenge

Feel the rhythm, feel the beat and create your own musical instruments (no real instruments are allowed) to accompany the song “Erets Zavat Chalav Udvash” – “Land Flowing With Milk and Honey”.

You can view the launch video here.   

Steps:

1. Choose band members
2. Find objects from around the house as instruments (no real instruments allowed)
3. Create a musical composition based on this version of ‘Eretz Zavat Chalav U’devash‘ 
4. Record and submit. Submissions are made via the JNF Australia website.    

Prizes will be awarded to the most creative submissions.

Deadline for submissions is 22 August 2021 

You are encouraged to get making, get drumming, get filming!

Details will be on our Stile page (JNF Beats Competition) and the JNF Australia website.

2. UIA’s My Israel Video Competition 

The competition challenges students to express their personal connection, understanding and feelings towards Israel; be it through poetry, dance, film, photography or anything that gets their souls dancing and hearts racing. Students are invited to be creative – act it, cook it, rap it, build it, research it, and capture it on film for all to see. 

The UIA is inviting students to use their skills and passions to tell us their Israel story, be it through a collage of photos from family holidays, or a detailed account of the most remarkable companies and inventions that make up the ‘start up nation’.

What You Need To Know:

• Students or families may enter from the Primary School and students may work individually or in groups.
• Families with both Primary and High School-aged students collaborating on the same video will automatically be entered into the High School competition.

Video length: 90 seconds maximum.
