As Shavuot approaches, interest in The Great Debate: Should You Send Your Child to a Jewish Dayschool, continues to grow, with lots of passion on both sides.
With a great line-up of panelists, it promises to be one of the most stimulating forums the Jewish community has seen in recent years.
Best of all, because it is a Q & A style discussion you will have ample opportunity to have YOUR voice heard as you engage directly with the panelists.
So come along and have YOUR say this tomorrow (Sat) night at 8.30pm.
Young South Head Presents... ...Sleepless @ South Head
Right after the Great Debate, some of the best of Young South Head will present Sleepless @ South Head - shiurim on a variety of inspiring topics.
Burn the midnight oil with us as you hear:

What Do You Know? ...What Do Your Kids Know?
One of South Head's most sort after resources is the parasha sheet prepared by Brookie each week. It's really easy to read and follow. An altogether fantastic way to share knowledge with, and learn from, your kids.
This week in addition to the normal parasha sheet, you can also download a special one devoted exclusively to Shavuot. Learn all about this very important event in Jewish history.. When did we receive the Torah? What occurred while we prepared for this special event? Who was present at Mount Sinai?
You will learn this and more from the Shavuot edition of the South Head Parasha Sheet. Click here to download the Shavuot parasha sheet; click here to download the Bamidbar parasha sheet; or click here to go to our regularly updated parasha sheet page.
Got Ice Cream? ...Shavuot for Kids!
Shavuot is here and we have a very exciting program in store just for you!
Do you like ice cream? Do you like bicycle stunts? We're sure you do! And guess what we've got a program which we are sure you'll enjoy!
Join us on Sunday May, 27 at 10:30 am as we create our very own edible ice cream Mount Sinai's, listen to the Ten Commandments and watch an exhilarating show by the world renown bike boy! It's going to be loads of fun!
This show is for children of all ages!
The Daily Word ...what happened!?
Due to technical problems and staff shortages the emailing of the Daily Word has been a bit erratic lately. We hope this will be corrected real soon now. In the meantime, you can always access the Daily Word from our website or by following us on Twitter (see the link on the top of this page.)

Torah can only be absorbed if you become a wilderness.Empty yourself of preconceptions & accept Torah on its terms, not through your filter!
*
Shavuot also means "vows". We pledged not to betray G-d & He pledged not to betray us for another people.
*
Sometimes we suffer so that we can better empathise with the suffering of others. To avoid unnecessary suffering, learn the lesson quickly!
*
"May ONLY good & kindness pursue me all the days of my life!" (Ps 23). Pray that you be nagged to do good things - it could be a lot worse!
*
Torah is deeply associated with the number 3. Why? G-d gave 1) ISRAEL the 2) TORAH so that they would transform the 3) WORLD - Rebbe
On behalf of the Rebbetzen and all of us at South Head, we wish you a joyous Shavuot. May we all receive the the Torah in a deeply, meaningfully and happily.
Shabbat Shalom and Chag Sameach
Rabbi Benzion Milecki
