It's been an exciting week around here putting the finishing touches on the myriad activities planned for this Shabbos and Yom Tov.
At time of press there are just a handful of places left at our Annual Shavuot Dinner. Please call Karen on 93717300 Ext 1 but please do it before 1pm!
The Tikkun Leil Shavuot program promises to educate and inspire everyone and we are deeply honoured to be hosting the calibre of people coming to speak at this very important symposium.
Hope to see you at all our exciting programs for both adults and kids this Shavuot at South Head.
On behalf of the Rebbetzen and myself, I wish each and everyone of you, Good Shabbos and Chag Sameach. May you all merit to receive the Torah joyfully and inwardly.

JLI - Judaism Decoded Week Three - On Whose Authority?

This week we learned about the power of the Rabbis and the power of the People!
