Hi Everyone,

Wow, how things have changed since we last wrote a Ma Nishma blurb! We hope you are all staying safe and well.

Challah orders for Term 3

Obviously, challah orders are paused until the kids are back on campus. We will keep you posted and will refund or credit for next term as is necessary.

Mindfulness for tough times 

Our Mother’s Day Meditation Session was a huge success and, following on from that, amazing Emanuel parent Jodie Gien, from Mindful Future Project, has kindly offered to bring you eight Mini-Mindfulness Sessions on Zoom (at no cost)

The sessions started this week and will run on Wednesday mornings in Term 3 from 8.30 am  – 8.50 am (running from Week 1 to Week 8). You can connect via laptop or mobile from anywhere and you can join anytime.

To register: express your interest by emailing Ruby Berkovic and you will be sent the Zoom links in advance.

Session topics

  1. Calm and Focus Amidst the Chaos
  2. Staying Calm When You Feel Like Exploding
  3. Proactively Tackling Worry and Uncertainty
  4. Out of Autopilot to Savour Here and Now
  5. From Reacting Blindly to Responding Wisely
  6. Where the Monkey Dropped the Ball

We hope you enjoy this fantastic opportunity.
