Parashat Nitzavim-Vayeilech
AUS & NZ Shlichim brainstorm
While most countries with Shlichim have several Shlichim from different organizations, NZ is unique and has usually only two Shlichim- AHC Shlichim and ZF Shlicha/Shaliach.
In order to stay connected and know about different programs, initiatives and more, we get together with the Shlichim in Australia between two to three times a month and have a fun yet serious session of brainstorming, led by the Jewish agency representative in Australia.
We feel although we are far away from other Shlichim, these meetings bring us closer together and help us challenge ourselves with new projects, initiatives and goals for the community and the youth.
Rosh Hashana Kit
COVID-19 can't get us down!
Although we have cancelled our Rosh Hashanah dinner, there is still a way to get into the holiday spirit. Celebrate Rosh Hashanah in the best way possible with Bnei Akiva Gift Bags 🎉🎉
We have two different Rosh Hashanah gift bags available for purchase: a DIY kid-friendly gift bag and a ready-made family friendly gift bag. Both are sold at $25.
Don't miss out! Make sure you order by Friday 11 September 🍎🍯
Preparing Kadimah for the high holidays
We might not be together in person but we can still prepare for the upcoming holidays!
Together with the wonderful students, we are learning about T’shuva, the importance of the holidays and the fresh start we pray for on Yom Kippur.
Looking forward to seeing all these amazing students in person.
Visiting Israel from afar
Everyone is pushed to be as creative as possible during these tricky months of Covid-19.
Tour guides have found ways of making Israel appealing to tourists and making sure we all can enjoy its unique and special sites.
Not only do we get to do some site seeing, but we get to hear and learn about the unbelievable diversity of Jerusalem- the microcosm of the Israeli society and the beating heart of the Jewish people.
We hope all those who joined this amazing tour felt for at least a minute, they were in Israel.
Staying connected
It’s not a secret that Judaism takes lots of work and devotion. When families reach out and want their children to know a bit more, stay connected or learn something new, we are delighted to meet privately and offer some of our experience and knowledge.
We see former Kadimah students, families in the process of conversion, Bar/Bat Mitzvah students and others.
We have fun times together, good conversations and mainly, study together; Hebrew, Judaism, you names it.
If you feel this can work for you, your child or your grandchild, please don’t hesitate to contact us—this is why we are here.
