Shabbat Nitzavim

Level 4 Lockdown Fun

It’s definitely ‘world changing’ when you go into lockdown overnight and suddenly your daily life is completely different.
We would like to invite those of you who can, to join our daily Zoom lockdown activities.
One of the best things we can celebrate is routine and community, despite the craziness outside.

Every morning at 8.30am we have Tefillah with the Kadimah kids. ANYONE is welcome to join. Adults, kids, post Kadimah or never Kadimah. Does not matter. We start by saying a few morning prayers for a brighter day ahead.

We then move on to a Women’s Workout Class at 9.15am to keep our bodies and minds in shape, despite being stuck at home.
There’s been an AMAZING and STRONG group of women join every morning and it has become a safe zone for all levels and ages.
Come check it out, fun (‘in Elisheva’s book’) is guaranteed!

On Saturday nights we have a quick Havdalah. You’d be signing on for maybe 10 minutes tops.
Together we sing Havdalah and say goodbye to Shabbat with hopes for a brighter week…. (de ja vu)

When we have one-off zooms we do our best to bring speakers who will offer something new and interesting for you. Keep an eye out for the next one… it’s going to be special!!

Coming up!

NEXT THURSDAY - SAVE THE DATE!

Join us for a highly recommended talk with world famous Rabbi Dr. Benji Levy.
If you have any doubts, look him up on YouTube….
Can’t wait to see you there, let’s stay united despite the distance. Bring a warm cup of tea and enjoy being in your pyjamas at one of the best talks yet.
See you there :)

Last week…

Summer BA camp is in planning

Crazy to think we are already up to it but keep an eye out on the BA Facebook page to hear NEWS about upcoming signups. We’re SO EXCITED to be planning this summer camp with Sacha & Noa who are already deep into planning to ensure this camp is one of a kind!

Havdalah

It’s been a real pleasure doing Havdalah with wonderful community members on Saturday night and enjoying great vibes to end the Shabbat with.
We would love to invite anyone else who’s interested, to sign on for less than 10 minutes and enjoy the singing of Havdalah.

Bar & Bat Mitzvah class

This Sunday we got together to discuss what the high holidays are all about, the true meaning of T’eshuva and how we all can change small parts of us before the upcoming new year.
It was fascinating to hear the kids share how they feel after an argument with their parents as well as their very own T’eshuva they do naturally without even noticing.

BA Peulot

This week Bnei Akiva held a Peula for Juniors whilst Seniors worked hard on planning a deep and meaningful Peula at the same time. Lockdown’s not easy for anyone at any age and each age brings its own challenges. It was wonderful seeing our Madrichim put everything aside and work on making a Peula to keep your kids busy during these odd times.
Thank you to all those who showed up and thank you to the great parents who encouraged their kids to join the Peulot.
Keep an eye out for more to come!.

ONCE IN A LIFETIME

If you missed this unbelievable lecture, we strongly encourage you to watch the recording we published on our Facebook page.
Eyal Dror, the former commander of the IDF’s “good neighbor” unit, shared some of the most heartbreaking and powerful stories yet.
With a humble smile and lots of Israeli pride, Eyal made us miss home even more but, most of all, feel extremely proud of the IDF and the State of Israel.
We might be a young country with a great deal to learn but when we see an urgent need, we respond, despite the politics, challenges and barriers.
Thank you all for coming and we hope you enjoyed hearing this wonderful guy and his outstanding accomplishments.

Save Lifes!

We have ticked vaccine #1 and are looking forward to vaccine #2…praying for an end to this global pandemic and hanging on tight with lots of faith and belief that everything will be ok!

Please feel free to reach out for any help needed.
We would love to have a chat, grab your groceries or medication or just hear you out.
Stay well and healthy, we will get through this!
Sending lots of love and safe virtual hugs for a Shabbat Shalom,
The Fogels
