Sonia Newell – Development Officer – Alumni & Community Relations
There are busy times ahead with Pesach starting in two weeks and we have lots of news to share about upcoming events before and after Yom Tov.
ART HOP 2021 – 20 March 2021 and 21 March 2021
This annual event showcases artwork of a number of talented local Jewish artists, including three past Emanuel parents – Ruth Levine (Toby Evans, Class of 2006), Nurit Ophir (Ariel Ophir Verheyden, Head Madrich 2010) and Lia Klugman (Keyla Klugman, Class of 2012). Lia has worked closely with many of your children over the years here at school, helping them to make the ceramic Mezzuzot on the doors of some of our classrooms, as well as other pieces of artwork. These artists would love to see us at their Bondi to Vaucluse Open Studios to view exciting new works. Look out for the orange balloons!
Sing your heart out
Sam Weiss (Class of 2012)
Alumnus Sam Weiss (Class of 2012), composer and performer is the 2020/21 Composer Fellow for the Sydney Children’s Choir and has been commissioned to compose six pieces for them. Sam says: “this commission has been running since last year but has been officially extended into this year as choral rehearsals and performances have become a possibility once again. The pieces have been written, but now the hands on work begins!” See more here.
Friendship Circle (FC) April camp
Seeking teen volunteers in Years 7-12 for the FC 4-day Day camp during the upcoming school holidays (Tuesday 6 April 2021 – Friday 9 April 2021). These camps are a wonderful opportunity for your teenage children to meet new friends, become involved in our community and make a difference, helping children with a disability. Register as a volunteer.
Seeking mentors for JewishCare’s Big Brothers Big Sisters Program
Alumna Dayna Myers (Class of 2010) is a Social Worker (Youth Services) at JewishCare and she is seeking our help within our School community in their search for mentors in this fabulous program. A number of our alumni have been mentors in the past and they all say how rewarding it was to know that they were able to make a difference to a young person’s life. Mentors must be over 18, with training and ongoing support provided.

Stay safe and Shabbat Shalom.
