3 Iyyar 5777 – Tazria-Metzora
Remembrance plays a significant role in Judaism. When we memorialise we achieve two things. One, we give honour and dignity to those who have passed on. Second, we inspire ourselves through their message and empower ourselves to continue their legacy. This past Monday we remembered all those who perished in the Shoah and I was […]

I hope you are taking the time to invest in explanations for the Seders next week. Just look up and memorise a few ideas and take the interest and courage to give them over at your Seders. I will again be sharing some ideas with you over Shabbat to give you a little more to […]

The first was on […]

A staunch advocate for ZDVO (Zahal Disabled Veteran Organisation), Moran, 34, was born healthy with an incredible optimism and zest for life. From an early age, she discovered basketball and went on to excel […]
15 Shevat 5777 – B’shalach

With all the current talk on climate change and environmental impact, isn’t it interesting to ponder how over two thousand years ago […]
