The Miracle of Love
Sonia Newell – Development Officer – Alumni & Community Relations
Flashback Friday
Twenty one years ago, in 1992, the book titled “Words Around the World” was published by Emanuel School. It was an international collection of stories and poems by Jewish children from Australia, New Zealand, USA and Canada. If you read the list of contributors, you will see names of some of our current or past parents who at the time, were students here at the School, including Michelle Drexler, Jonathan Hirst, Sarah Kummerfeld, Lisa Ross, Lisa Shapiro, Adam Symonds and Daniel Vasin.
Continuing on the book theme…
Author and alumna Ondine Sherman (Class of 1990), sister of current parent Emile Sherman, has lived in Israel for many years with her husband and three children. She has now written a chapter titled “The Miracle of Love” for a new book titled “Campfire for a Woman’s Heart”. Ondine writes “New book! This is truly an inspirational read. I am honoured and humbled to be a part of this remarkable collection of women sharing stories of loss, injustice, grief, war, disability, disease and ultimately…resilience, love and joy. Thank you to Natalie Stockdale for including me”. You can buy it via the publisher here.
Community Art Exhibition
Ends on Sunday 4 June 2023
This collaborative Community art show with B’nai B’rith and COA showcases 60 artists exhibiting their works. Past parent Vivienne Radomsky, who is Marketing and Growth Manager, B’nai B’rith NSW says “For the first time we have exhibiting artists from outside of Sydney, namely Blue Mountains, Byron Bay and Melbourne. Our artists age range goes from ages 12 – 87, so it is a true collaboration with some beautiful works”.
Alumni Gabriel Jammy and Daniel Radomsky were amongst the volunteers who hung all the artwork, which of course got straightened up properly in time for the offical opening of the exhibition last Sunday.
