In a communal gathering of hearts and minds, the NSW Board of Jewish Education (BJE), in collaboration with JCA, will be diverting funds from their annual Kol Nidre Appeal to support COA Sydney.
The Christian Democratic Party has hosted a meeting at NSW Parliament House to highlight the importance of retaining Special Religious Education in the public school system.
BJE's popular adult Hebrew classes, taught by Sarah Friend, emphasise the development of modern Hebrew speaking skills to help those wishing to communicate with family in Israel, help their children with Hebrew, appreciate Jewish culture, provide easier access to Israeli media information and literature or, simply, improve their knowledge of the language.
Guest presenters are talking to children about their personal experiences in the Holocaust to give the children a better understanding of this period in Jewish history.
Former President of BJE, Michael Jassy, has been named an Honorary Life President for his contribution to the establishment and development of the Board of Jewish Education.
BJE Yr 11 and 12 students who participated in the Emet Israel program have attended a martial arts session with CSG instructors specially trained in Krav Maga martial arts.
