Erev Rosh Hashana
The Jewish Studies Department concluded 5781 with a perfectly designed Erev Rosh Hashana programme. Following Selichot, the Year 10 and 11 students remained in the hall to learn from Rabbi Bennett who discussed with students how we can merit a favourable judgement, focusing on the importance of davening for others. Our Years 7-9 attended Machzor workshops where these sessions were geared to help students understand the structure, themes and purpose of the longer, more complex Tefiillos of Rosh Hashanah. The groups then swapped so that everyone gained in understanding, inspiration and motivation as we approach Rosh Hashana 5782.
