Each year when the Aseret Hadibrot (the Ten Commandments) are read aloud

in Shule, I hear the words I know so well, turn to look at the congregation

surrounding me and think, ‘why does this moment seem so cosmic, so important

and so meaningful? Isn’t it after all, the same ritual of Kriat HaTorah that we

perform three times a week? Why is this so special? What gives it this magical

air?’. The answer of course lies in what’s behind this reading – it is our story, our

birth, our identity, our marriage contract, our ethos, our relationship with Hashem

and the moral fibre of our people. The giving of the Torah was our birth as a

nation.

It’s hard to tell sometimes when a people become a nation – much like the question posed to

our Year 10 students during a recent sprint discussion activity;

“When do you feel a child or teen becomes an adult?

It was interesting to note the different responses we caught as we roamed past the groups;

“17” said one student, “when they make good choices” argued another. Other students

cited financial independence, completion of education, marriage, parenthood(!) or increased

responsibility.

Research shows that the journey to adulthood sees young people seeking identity, valued

relationships, a keen sense of purpose, empowerment, the experience of success, rigour in

their learning and a strong sense of safety.

In all areas of life and learning in Yavneh Secondary, we seek to meet these physical,

emotional, intellectual, social, and spiritual needs of our students by helping them develop

agency in their learning, their practice of Yiddishkeit and in their interpersonal relationships

as contributors to the world around them.

In doing so, we strive that our Yavneh graduates will be – as our mission statement states

– of fine character, life-long independent learners who are committed to Torah and Mitzvot

while contributing to the world around them as proud Jews, Zionists, and Australians.

Over the past weeks, our students have been involved in learning and activities that

nurture them in all these areas of these needs. Our recent Year 9 and 10 Shabbaton saw

our students develop stronger bonds with their peers, and between the year levels while

experiencing pride in their Jewish identity, singing soul-stirring nigunim at a Tisch and

hearing their teachers’ insights on their own personal journey in Jewish commitment.

When coming together for whole-school Tefillah gatherings

to pray for our injured brethren in Meron or for the safety for

our brothers and sisters in Eretz Yisrael after the recent rocket

attacks on our land, the students felt the unity and ties that bind

us to our land and our people, while feeling a keen sense of

purpose in their roles as Jews – supporting our land through

spiritual action – praying to Hashem for protection.

This week we welcomed our Year 6 parents and new families

at the Maavar Year 7 2022 Parent evening where families

had the opportunity to connect with staff in the Secondary

school and explore the Year 7 classroom experience. We heard

from a panel of current Year 7 students and College Captains

and it was special to hear the students speak about the deep

relationships that they have developed with their peers, their

teachers and with older students.

Our Year 7 and 9 students undertook NAPLAN assessments

this week, giving them yet another opportunity to demonstrate

their knowledge and feel the rigour of the challenge that

assessments provide.

Last week, our students had the opportunity to participate

in presentations by ySafe – Australia’s leading cybersafety

education provider, as well as RoadSmart by VicRoads (Year

10), Fit2Drive (Year 11) and Looking after our Mates (Year

12). These sessions and the ongoing discussion around issues

of wellbeing and safety contribute to young people having the

strong sense of safety that they need.

Our Year 9 students as part of the YOU Program provided

valuable contributions to local community organisations

Jewish Care and Jewish Children’s Aid Society (JCAS) through

volunteering at Gary Smorgon House and the Posh Opp

Shoppe. This empowerment and purpose to contribute are

cornerstones for the initiative that Gemilut Chesed requires.

WEEKLY DVAR TORAH - PARSHAT NASO

TAMARA GINZBURG, Head of Jewish Life Programs

Upon close examination of the word ‘Naso’, we see a verb

which holds an extraordinary range of meanings, including: to

lift, to carry, and to forgive. Rabbi Sacks z”l notes that the word

Naso is used in conjunction with the phrase ‘et rosh’, (which

directly translates to ‘the head’) meaning ‘to count’. This strikes

us as strange, as there are many verbs in Biblical Hebrew

which mean to count, including limnot, lispor, lifkod and

lachshov. This begs the question, why were one of these verbs

not used to simply say ‘count’ instead of ‘lift the head’? As we

know, the Torah does not waste words. Therefore, this specific

choice of word comes to teach us a lesson.

Aligned with the belief that we are created Betzelem Elokim,

in the image of G-d, is the idea that each one of us has infinite

value. Rabbi Sacks elucidates that “this may well be the single

most important consequence of monotheism. Discovering

G-d, singular and alone, our ancestors discovered the human

individual, singular and alone”. Underscoring this observation

is not simply how we see ourselves, but how we see and treat

others. Whilst it is important to recognise our own importance,

it is simultaneously imperative to make other people feel

important, to “lift the head” of others, and never let someone

feel that they are merely a number.

This idea is further reinforced when Hashem instructs Moshe

how to cleanse the camp of any contamination, stating איש אי–אשה כי יעשו מכל–חטאת האדם ואשמה When a man or woman commits any of the sins“ הנפש ההוא:

CONTINUED

On Yom Yerushalayim, our Year 12 Girls Ensemble and Band debuted with their song “Shabechi Yerushalayim” at our school

assembly. Their pride and excitement were palpable as the school jived along with their singing and music. This was yet another

experience of strong relationships, deep sense of identity and connection to our history.

Often, we are so busy ‘doing’– participating in programs, study, or work – and we don’t tap into what this activity is actually

providing us in our growth.

It’s important for us to explicitly discuss with our children the value of each element of their education, for them to have the insight

and appreciation of their learning and their experiences. When we take the time to ask our child about their recent learning,

participation in activities or what’s going on at school and point out why these experiences are valuable – we give them purpose,

connection, and passion for everything they’re doing. When we articulate to them our beliefs about learning and participation –

they gain deeper appreciate for the value of their learning.

Much like the Kriat HaTorah on Shavuot – the reading of the Aseret Hadibrot - we can see it face-value as a rote ritual - one

we perform so often. Or we can feel its cosmic significance. As we stand in silence just like our ancestors at Har Sinai; we are

recreating the story of our birth – realigning ourselves to our values, rededicating ourselves to our mission, renewing our vows

with our G-d.

Wishing you a Good Shabbos and Good Yom Tov!

against man to act treacherously against G-d, and that person

is found guilty”. The immediate equation of the sins of mankind

is למעל מעל בה׳ with transgression against G-d חטאת האדם

striking, as they are paralleled in this way to remind us that

they are the same. To sin against man is to transgress against

G-d. Our observance of mitvot bein adam l’chaveiro (between

man and his fellow) reflects our observance of mitzvot bein

adam l’makom (between man and his Creator). In this way, we

see that ‘our vertical connection is measured by our horizontal

relationships’.

This message is captured in the last word of the priestly

blessing that appears in this week’s parsha, stating

meaning “May Hashem raise ,ישא ה׳ פניו אליך וישם לך שלום

His countenance toward you and grant you peace”. Rabbi

Isaac Arama explains that “shalom does not mean merely the

absence of war or strife. It means completeness, perfection, the

harmonious working of a complex system, integrated diversity,

a state in which everything is in its proper place and all is at

one with the physical and ethical laws governing the universe”.

Parshat Naso, quite aptly, has a resounding message of peace

and how to fulfil our individual and communal role in bringing

about harmony. Amidst the turmoil in Israel, these messages

ring true and reverberate throughout our countries. May we

take the teachings of Parshat Naso and infuse our interactions

with kindness and respect. Shabbat Shalom

WINTER WONDERSCHARLENE ORWIN, Head of Yavneh Early Learning Centre

With the chill of winter settling in, it is timely to discuss the

importance of outdoor play. During the cooler months, it is

common for children to be restricted to indoor play at home,

and only permitted to play outdoors when it is warm and sunny.

Many parents fear that their children will not “like” being

outside in the cold, or that they will get sick from being outside

in the cold fresh air. For this reason, it is particularly important

that young children enjoy outdoor activities in their early

childhood education setting. Playing outside in winter presents

its own unique opportunities for exploration and learning.

Therefore, outdoor play should be embraced in all types of

weather, as it is crucial for children’s ongoing development.

At our ELC we are embracing the learning involved in seasonal

changes, winter awareness, scientific elements and we are

engaged in deep discussions around clothing changes, winter foods, nature changes and shorter days. All of our rooms are

making the most of the rich learning that “Winter” has to offer.

For infants and toddlers, the chance to experience the elements in the safe confines of warm clothes or snuggly blankets

and beanies, enhances their connections with nature and the environment. Free movement for young children brings joy and

stimulates a healthy appetite too! All this works towards supporting a strong sense of wellbeing. Younger children also need this

freedom to move about, feel the cold air on their cheeks, and create body warmth through stimulating physical activity. Children

should be given opportunities to enjoy the smells and visual changes in the environment. Children need to engage in experiences

that connect them to their world.

All children need to play outside every day, even in Winter. Going outside to run, jump, yell and wiggle gives children the chance

to use their large muscles and work off extra energy. Moving out into the fresh air is healthier for children than keeping them

inside a closed building where germs can spread easily.

Developmentally, playing outdoors has many benefits:

Physically: Playing outdoors in winter promotes physical development and well-being. This is because outdoor play encourages

the use of the whole body by offering a safe space to run, jump, and exercise key muscle groups. Through activities such as

riding tricycles and running, children increase their large muscle use. This increase in physical activity supports children’s gross

motor development and overall health. It is important that children remain active in the cooler months so that they continue to

build emerging skills that are crucial to their physical development.

Emotionally: Outdoor activities also promote emotional health benefits, such as self-confidence, and the ability to assess risks.

By encouraging outdoor play in the winter, children learn to identify hazards, such as slippery surfaces, and moderate their

behaviour to ensure their safety.

Socially: playing outdoors with others encourages social development and collaboration. This is because play teaches children

how to work together in groups, which includes learning to share, negotiate, and solve conflict. Social outdoor play also provides

children the opportunity to exercise and stretch their imaginations. In winter, the physical changes to the outdoor environment

provide children with new opportunities for socio-dramatic play, and winter-themed games.

So here at the Yavneh ELC we enjoy getting on our Winter woollies and opening a whole new winter wonderland for the children

we care for!!

YEAR 4 GENERAL STUDIES- WHO MAKES THE RULES?HELEN KRECHMAN, Primary General Studies Teacher, TERRY CROTHERS, Deputy Head of Primary and General Studies Teacher

In Year 4, the students have been learning about the three levels of government in Australia. They discussed the difference

between ‘laws’ and ‘rules’, focusing on and exploring the purpose of laws. In the process students recognised that laws apply to

everyone in society and that there are consequences when citizens break laws. Fairness of consequences was also explored, as

perceptions vary in relation to both laws and rules as applied within the school setting.

Students interviewed a senior member of their family, asking about rules that they had when they were a child. We were then able

to compare rules and consequences of today with those of the past, resulting in many interesting observations and conversations.

Of the three levels of government, local councils (Local Government Areas) became the focus of their research. Investigations

centred around what responsibilities LGAs must support their residents and community. An info-graph was created to highlight

the many services, support groups, and facilities that LGAs provide. Children accessed and developed a range of skills including,

listening, problem solving and organisation. Dispositions of persistence, curiosity, independence and being open-minded were

also developed in the process.

YEAR 4 JEWISH STUDIESMICHELLE SHARP, Primary Jewish Studies Teacher

The Year 4 students had a very enjoyable and inspiring Yom Yerushalayim. They

participated in the creation of the Yavneh Jerusalem Mosaic Project, created in honour of

Yom Yerushalayim by the students in Years 3-6. The students divided into six groups and

helped create a panel of the mosaic. It was an exciting project where the students, some

for the first time, learned how to work with glass to create a mosaic mural. They worked

beautifully as a group to help create a stunning piece of artwork expressing the special

connection, we the Jewish people, have with holy city of Jerusalem. This beautiful

mosaic will be permanently displayed in Hamakom.

In class, the students learned about how, on the 28th of Iyar in 1967 during the Six-Day War, Jerusalem was united under Israeli

rule. Israeli paratroopers defeated the Jordanian Legion and visibly moved, reached the Kotel. The students had the opportunity

to watch World Mizrachi’s newly released inspiring short video for Yom Yerushalayim entitled Jeruslem’s D-Day: When Heaven

Altered the Course of History. It gave them a comprehensive summary of the events of the Six-Day War and enabled them to

see what an incredible miracle it was. For those of you who have not had the opportunity to watch the video, here is the link:

Jerusalem's D-Day: When Heaven Altered the Course of History - YouTube

To help make Jerusalem more meaningful to our students, as part of our Israel Studies Unit, the students have been assigned

a variety of special places in Jerusalem to research. Some of the students are working in groups and some are working

independently. When they have completed their research, they will make presentations to the class. Some of the places that are

being researched include Yad Vashem, the Machane Yehuda Market, the Dome of the Rock, the Kotel, the King David Hotel, the

Biblical Zoo, the Hebrew University, and the Great Synagogue. We hope that the presentations will give the students a richer

HOW DID IT START AND HOW ARE WE DOING SO FAR?

My teaching career started in America, while my husband was doing his post-doctoral

training at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. While he was busy

researching cancer, I embarked on my second career as a Hebrew teacher at Charles

E Smith Jewish Day School. For almost two decades, I have been actively involved in

teaching and the development of curricula for teaching Hebrew.

In Australia, Hebrew is taught as a foreign language. Our students learn Hebrew in

school but once the class is over, they are not immersed in the Hebrew language. This

is in contrast with studying Hebrew as second language where students continue to be

immersed in the language even when class ends. For example, ULPAN in Israel teaches

Hebrew as a second language. Our main goal in teaching Hebrew is to see students

using Hebrew in their everyday life, outside the classroom.

Four years ago, we decided on a new approach, teaching Hebrew in mixed-ability

classes and one advanced class. We started this in the primary school to cater for the

academic and wellbeing needs of our students. In the mixed-ability classes, the learning

focuses more on informal vocabulary and genres. Students are expected to write

personal letters and scripts of conversations to be acted out in class. In the advanced

class, teachers use a richer vocabulary and students are expected to use a more formal

register when writing, as well as speaking in a more sophisticated manner. Successful

participation in the advanced class is a steppingstone to studying Hebrew VCE.

New students who have little or no background in Hebrew use a special tailor-made

syllabus which helps them join the mixed-ability class as novices, hear Ivrit, follow

differentiated tasks and quickly become active members of the cohort. Additional

support is provided during their Jewish Studies lessons.

As our current year 6 students are about to graduate from Primary School, I would like

to share my insights into the successful experience from the past four years teaching

Hebrew in the mixed-ability and advanced classes.

1. Class Size Matters. The problem of unequal class sizes has been eliminated since

the inception of our approach.

2. Improved Marks. The Hebrew academic achievements of the cohort have improved since the implementation of the mixed-

ability classes.

3. In-Class Flexibility. Students do not have switch classes to find a suitable level. They can stay in their designated class,

while keeping open communication channels with their teachers who, in turn, can adjust and challenge them accordingly.

4. Improve Self-Esteem. Students learn well ONLY when they feel that others believe in their ability to learn. This proved difficult

in the C stream.

5. Late Bloomers. Students develop and excel at different ages and stages of life — they need the opportunity to prove

themselves to their teachers and peers.

6. Parents Push for Streaming. Students do not want to be streamed; their parents push for it. Students want to learn and

spend quality time with their friends.

7. Students Engagement and Attitude. Students who find the learning difficult are not necessarily the ones who misbehave

בס׳׳ד

in class. Some capable students exhibit challenging attitude and behaviour. As

educators, we should instil respect and Derech Eretz in our students, no matter

how capable they are.

8. Consistency with other Subjects. Students learn English, Torah, History, Arts

and Sports in unstreamed classes, even though there are ability gaps amongst

them. They form meaningful relationships regardless of whether their peers are

capable than they are.

These overwhelmingly positive results in the Primary School paved the way for us

to introduce mixed-ability classes in the Secondary School as well. Learning in a

mixed-ability class enables students to progress to the advanced class. A month

ago, a student in Year 7 was approached by the Hebrew teacher who told her that

she has the ability and attitude to move to the advanced class and a week later she

moved classes. Similarly, two other students in year 6, moved to the advanced class

and seem happy and eager to work even harder. Students who may feel stress and

pressure in the advanced class are always welcome to move to the mixed-ability

class and report to their teachers regularly to ensure that their learning continues

according to expectation.

Finally, I know that some parents are thrilled about the idea of mixed-ability classes.

I am also aware that others are more concerned. I can reassure you that I work

closely with our teachers to ensure that they are able to set different goals, provide

differentiated tasks, actively monitor the progress of individual students, and cater

for the academic needs and wellbeing of the groups in class. Importantly, our

teachers maintain very close relationships with students, focusing on their learning

and wellbeing. In fact, a recent survey assessing satisfaction in class demonstrated

that most of our Yavneh students feel that they are challenged and supported by

their teachers. It was not surprising that most of them enjoy their speaking lessons

and want to spend more class time improving their ability to communicate in the

language.

I would like to wish all our Yavneh students continued success in Ivrit and warmly

welcome anyone in our school community to contact me for further information. I

would especially like to thank you, the parents, for supporting the Hebrew Team.

Learning is a never-ending journey, and we are happy to walk on this path together

and continue learning with you.

During Term 2 we designed and made our own garage, it

needed to be between 15-30 centimetres in length and in

width, 10 centimetres tall and had to have a ramp.

What was the most important thing to consider when

designing a garage?

Leib: The most important thing that was part of my teammate

(Elai Rabba) and my garage was the ramp and the support

beams, we made the ramp a spherical ramp, so it would wind

up to the second floor, we made the support beams so it would

hold up the second floor, the whole garage had to hold the

weight of a small book.

Elai: Well, if you ask me (and my partner of course (Leib

Sharp)) there are almost infinite answers but what appeals to

us the most are the support beams and the ramp.

• The Support beams: the reason behind these magnificent

beams is to hold up everything up together, it’s insane how

just a couple of beams can hold up huge buildings; like

the captain of a soccer team, he keeps a hold of the team

and keeps everyone together.

• The Ramp: it puts the building on a whole new level 😉,

not literally unless you want to wait 50 years until they

invent car elevators to take up your car up to the next level,

ramps create a bunch of more opportunities. Such as a

customer can be like “I wish I could go shopping at this

place but all of the parking spots are already taken, I guess

I will have to go shopping somewhere else for now” but if

that shop had a ramp which led to another level that shop

wouldn’t have lost a customer which is in other words a

loss of money; And that’s why I think for now, ramps are

the way to go.

Havah: The most important thing that we had to consider when

designing the garage was deciding which material would be

most affective to use to create a strong and sturdy structure.

Idan: The most important thing to consider when designing our

garage was, the budget because we only had $50 to spend on

materials and it was hard to fit all the materials we needed in

the budget.

Guy: I think that the most important thing to consider when designing my garage was the budget because we only had $50 (fake)

to spend on the equipment we need to build the garage. So, this also meant that we needed to think ahead and plan carefully if

something were to go wrong.

What was the most difficult thing about building the

garage?

Leib: The most difficult thing about building the garage would

have been getting the ramp to spiral up to the second floor,

it was difficult because it was not the right length and it kept

falling over.

Phoebe: The most difficult aspect of this project was keeping

everything stable and standing up especially the ramp because

its only holding up by tape, in the end it stood up.

Grant: The most difficult aspect of this project was getting

the cardboard to stick together as I think we used to much

masking tape with us also accidentally destroying the masking

tape. We had to make sure the cardboard was in line and also

had to make sure that our garage would be stable and not

collapse.

Idan: The most difficult aspect of this project was getting the

garage to stand and sticking the pieces together because the

cardboard pieces would not stick together, nor would the sticks

stand up straight.

Jess: The one thing I found most difficult in this project would

have to be making sure that the upper level would stay up and

hold both 5 mini cars and a small book because our resources

were limited.

What did you enjoy most about this project?

Leib: Elai and I enjoyed the experience of getting to spend

fake money on products to help build the garage. I find that the

most fun part if building the garage would have been when we

got to weigh them and to test how much it holds

Havah: The part that I enjoyed about this project was using my

creativity to make the best garage I could possibly make with

what I had and sharing my creativity with my friends.

Gideon: What I enjoyed about this project was that we worked

as a team to make our project work and not fall. We worked as

a team through the most stressful times and that’s what I think

got us to succeed in the project.

Phoebe: I enjoyed that it was our choice to how we build it and

how it looked and even though it didn’t look very good it was

very fun to make.

Grant: What I enjoyed about this project was working with

other people as I think our team worked very well with a

few mess ups at times. I also enjoyed doing the budget as

everyone had a say in what we should get, with us finally

Havah and Jess

Phoebe and Noa

agreeing with an idea. Overall, everything was great about it

and would do it again.

Idan: The thing I enjoyed the most was working together on

designs and building the garage because we got to build

things and experiment with all the materials and create new

things.

Jess: What I really enjoyed about this project would be the fact

that I could be creative in a learning space with my friends this

project was very fun and exciting.

Guy: I mainly enjoyed being with my friend because we kept

lifting each other up with new ideas which helped a lot because

sometimes one of us didn’t know what to do in a specific

situation, so the other person helped fix the situation. Which

worked every time which is the main reason, I enjoyed it the

most.

We know that the cost of Jewish education has become an increasing burden on parents who simply want the best for their children, which has caused hardship for many within our school community and affected both full-fee paying families and those on Fee Relief. As a leading Jewish day school, we pride ourselves on our belief that all Jewish children deserve access to a high-quality Jewish education, and we acknowledge the impact of the cost of education on our entire school community. That is why we have reviewed our current fee structure as part of our ongoing commitment to finding long-term and sustainable solutions to alleviate the fee burden on parents.
