This week the B'nei Mitzvah class had a guest speaker. Rabbi Zac Gomo informed and educated "Jewish History on 1 leg". We held a lively discussion on "why it should matter to us getting ready for our big Simcha".  We’ve completed learning the V’ahavta and have progressed to the ‘Ein Kamocha.’ Chag Pesach!

Book Club  Wednesday 3 May 2023
Our next Book Club reading will be: -
“Come to this Court and Cry” by Linda Kinstler.
Linda Kinstler investigates both her family story and the archives of ten nations to examine what it
takes to prove history in our uncertain century. Probing and profound, Come to this Court and Cry is
about the nature of memory and justice when revisionism, ultra-nationalism and denialism make it
feel like history is slipping out from under our feet. It asks how the stories we tell about ourselves,
our families and our nations are passed down, how we alter them, and what they demand of us.
There is a YouTube video about the book on Politics and Prose.
Date: Wednesday 3 May, 2023
Time: 2:00 pm
Venue: Kehilat Nitzan
To reserve your spot call Fran at 0414 822 584.
