Message from our President We are so happy to have Rabbi Yonatan back in Melbourne after the Rabbinic Assembly 2022 conference. He tells me that the learning there has been excellent, and I'm sure that we can look forward to some exciting ideas. As you will see from the photo below, Rabbi Yonatan also had the opportunity to catch up with friends of his and of ours - Rabbis Adam Stein and Ehud Bandel. All look like they are having a great time. Shabbat Shalom, Sue Zyngier

Learn & Bake with Lahat Noam a Yummy Success With an energetic and hands-on experience last Sunday, the Lahat Noam kids enjoyed a long awaited cupcake decorating activity. Layered with lots of icing and sprinkles we delved into the Torah story of Jacob and Esau where we demonstrated to the kids the different lifestyles of Jacob a literary and Esau a hunter. The kids baked and decorated cupcakes as part of Jacob's story in representation of the infamous lentil soup and then endured an obstacle course and treasure hunt as part of Esau’s hunting experience. Thank you to all of the parents who helped out and it was lovely to see so many new faces. Special thanks to Anna Faine who helped out and read a wonderful story for the kids. Great to see everyone again and can’t wait for our next major activity on Hanukkah. Details forthcoming!!! SAVE THE DATE for our next Shabbat program on Saturday 26th November 10 am

Kesher/B'nei Mitzvah Korner Kids learned about the terms: Theist, Atheist and Agnostic as we explored ideas about God including thinking about logic vs faith. They respectfully talked about their different positions on the subject and were invited to start their journey toward adulthood by learning from others about their beliefs. We practised the blessings before reading Haftarah and learned in 'Chevruta,' (twos). We farewelled Freya who is having her bat-mitzvah this week - mazal tov!
