That may sound like a glib catchphrase, and that’s because it is. But it’s a good glib catchphrase. The theme of Sukkot is happiness and it is no surprise that it is all about journeying. It celebrates the journey of the Israelities through the wilderness. Its every night includes the celebration of drawing water and journeying with it to the altar. The branches atop of the Sukkah represent of the journey towards the tree’s fruit. The journey of building the sukkah is a part of the mitzvah as much as sitting in it is.

It was in this spirit that students of Yavneh, young and old, embarked on journeys from their classrooms on Chol Hamoed to a variety of sukkot, both far and near. Thanks to the generous hospitality of many of our school families, students enjoyed sitting in the shade of the sukkah, as they snacked in moderation on sumptuous yet wholesome delights. For our Secondary students, the newly anointed Hesder team presented engagingly, challenging our students to think more deeply about the joy they experience from both material and spiritual accomplishments. For our Year 10 students, Sukkah-hopping was lifted to an entirely new level. Setting out to the city via public transport, our students experienced the thrill of eating in what is perhaps Melbourne’s highest Sukkah, courtesy of the Werdiger family. A short walk later, our student were entertained and inspired by the Rabbi of the East Melbourne Hebrew

Congregation, Rabbi Dovid Gutnick, who regaled them with Torah learning and the odd story of the ghost who inhabits the ancient attic of the said synagogue. This exciting experience was capped off in true Aussie style, with students enjoying sausages in pieces of sliced bread, neatly folded in a triangular fashion, with a generous squeeze of tomato sauce. All eaten beneath elegant bamboo mats, of course.

HAPPINESS IS NOT A DESTINATION

In the fallout this past week from the Harvey Weinstein allegations, an actress in America tweeted that if every person who has been sexually harassed or assaulted would post #Me Too on social media then we could begin to have a sense of the magnitude of the problem we face. Since Monday, #Me Too has been posted hundreds of thousands of times. Harvey Weinstein is just the tip of the iceberg. While we must be grateful that we live in a society where women’s rights have advanced significantly, we must also recognise that we have a significant problem and there is much room for improvement. Hopefully we can use this very public outcry as a catalyst for true growth. Last year I wrote the following in regards to the story of Adam and Chava: We know how things ended. They both thought only of themselves in the relationship, taking selfishly of the fruit that God prohibited to them, and shirking the responsibility of their actions. Man blamed woman. Woman blamed the snake. They are all cursed. “To the woman He said, "I shall surely increase your sorrow and your pregnancy; in pain you shall bear children. And to your husband will be your desire, and he will rule over you. (Bereishit 3:16)" This is the curse of humanity! The way I have been taught to understand these passages is that when humanity acts from within the mindset of the sin of Adam and Chava—thinking selfishly of one’s own desires without taking the consequences of our decisions into consideration—then we are cursed, and man will rule over women. This is not, God forbid, the way things are supposed to be, this is how they are when society is lowly and unrefined. The Torah begins with the narrative of Adam and Chava to teach us the flaws present in this broken world. The rest of the Torah is a guide to teach us how to fix this sin and fix the curses that burden us. Through the stories and laws of the Torah we are taught selflessness, kindness, compassion, truth, justice and truth and society is pointed in the right direction. The sin of Adam and Chava began with looking inappropriately. Adam and Chava were told not to eat the fruit, but they could not control their gaze. “And the woman saw that the tree was good for food and that it was a delight to the eyes, and the tree was desirable to make one wise; so she took of its fruit, and she ate, and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate.” While it is Chava who sinned with her eyes here, we can assume Adam’s eyes led him astray as well. In many ways, these actions reflect the consciousness of humanity throughout all time. We live in a culture of objectification. Young women are bombarded with hundreds of images a day about how they should look or act. These constant messages have an impact on the decisions that we make. The current cultural of objectification perpetuates unhealthy misogyny which hurts everyone, women and men.

פרשת נה

For me, I must say that the highlight of Sukkot was Hoshana Rabbah davening in Yavneh’s Meaningful Minyan. Our students were not fazed by what turned out to be a 2 and ¾ hour service, and the singing and dancing at every familiar verse brought the tefilla to life in a way that awoke memories of my experience as a sixteen year old davening in the Carlebach shul in Manhattan. Not to mention the banging of the hoshanot. I have never seen them banged with such gusto in all of my days.

Sukkot may be over, but the journey continues. And as long as it does, we will remain happy.

Shabbat shalom.

Rabbi Chaim Cowen Head of Jewish Studies

A MESSAGE FROM RABBI NOAM SENDOR

The tikkun (rectification) moving forward is only through education. Educating boys to respect women, giving them tools for the development

of moral and ethical values and strong self-control. We must also educate young women to feel empowered and supported, to ensure that they

have an equal voice in society, and help them acquire the tools that will enable their own spiritual, moral and professional growth. A society

where women are powerful and treated equally will not tolerate most of the trash that passes for movies and television today which

perpetuate the culture of objectification, nor would it tolerate the behaviour of men like Weinstein, whose perversities were swept under the

carpet for decades, solely because he was a powerful man.

At Yavneh, our “Relationships” classes delivered to the Secondary students focus on these very aspirations and are an essential part of Limudei Kodesh—the education of Holy matters. However, the most important piece of this puzzle is the home. I often look at the Jewish home as a sort of Teivah­-Ark­ which we build for our families as we navigate the choppy waters of life. Regardless of what is happening outside, our homes must become sanctuaries of peace and holiness, where we share with our children visions what life should be like, and where we model to our children how we treat members of the opposite sex and what a life of empowered holiness looks like. Ultimately, like Noach who was commanded to leave the Ark to go out and rebuild the world, our goal is not to be cloistered in our protected homes, hidden away from danger. Rather, in our homes and communities we are to build ourselves up so that we can go out into the world and make an impact, one enlightened encounter at a time. The only good that came out of the Harvey Weinstein debacle is that it brought to light a frightening societal trend. Our hopes and prayers

must be that we use this brokenness as an opening towards healing and growth, moving us ever closer towards the ultimate rectification of

the sin of Adam and Chava, removing all curses and revealing only blessing. May it happen very soon,

Shabbat Shalom. Rabbi Noam Sendor Campus Rabbi

THE CHESS TOURNAMENT AT BIALIK COLLEGE

FRENCH: LA CRÈME DE LA CRÈME FINISHES WITH PANACHE

Daniel Jaffa, Edward Lichtig and Jonathan Sher showed great determination and fortitude in the weeks leading to their first VCE examination for the year, the French oral, and came out smiling. While it is too early to know how well they did, it is important to recognize the hard work and dedication they showed since starting French in year 7. The dreaded oral consists of two tasks. Daniel, Edward and Jonathan started with a 7 minutes general conversation with the two assessors and questions ranged from their school to their aspirations and families. They then had to present their detailed study for 8 minutes. Our class focused on the Nazi occupation of France between 1940 and 1944 and through a combination of primary and secondary sources Edward and Jonathan presented their brilliant expose on the work of the French Resistance. They focused on its inception, its actions and its main protagonists using diaries, songs, films and articles in French to get a wide understanding of the movement. Using a similar range of sources, Daniel focused on the impact the occupation had on French children, with an emphasis on the Joffos, a Parisian Jewish family whose two boys’ epic escape from the occupied is told in the book and movie “A bag of marble” (Joseph Joffo, 1973).

As the boys are now studying for their written exam, I wish them bon vent and bonne chance. Gauthier Bouchardeau Head of Humanities, Secondary School

They have written original solo performances which they will perform.

Monday 30 October

7-30 pm Drama Studio

This is an original work devised by the very talented students which will be performed at

the Malthouse Theatre on Tuesday 31 October as part of The Suitcase Series

Well what a huge few weeks it has been! What do I discuss first? I’ll start off with the AFL Grand Final: as an MCC member I managed to get myself a seat on the big day and even took my cheese platter and kosher wine with me haha #kidding #notkidding I was actually barracking for the Crows that day to be honest. I mean seriously? Did you see the Richmond fans after the game? I couldn't even walk down Swan St after to get a bite to eat! I tell you what, Collingwood supporters would never behave like that! We Collingwood supporters are respectful and the envy of all the clubs in the AFL #standbyBucks #lol Now onto the realm of cinema. I managed to watch the sequel to one of the greatest Sci-fi films ever made: Blade Runner. I must say Blade Runner 2049 was quite an experience at IMAX. For once, Hollywood didn't destroy a sequel and didn't resort to special effects. Story, character development, amazing camera cinematography and effects! A breath of fresh air and a 9/10 from me! Let’s not forget that the new Star Wars Episode 8 trailer was released! Wow. Dec 14 can’t come quickly enough! It’s going to be interesting. One thing I will say: the character "Snoke" saying "Fufill your destiny" is very reminiscent of Vader saying this to Luke in Return of the Jedi. Who is Snoke speaking too? Rey or Ren? Let’s discuss some Yavneh news now! Well, what a night Tuesday night was!! Take a look at the images accompanying this article. Aren't they amazing? The VCE Studio Art/ Vis Com and Media folio night was fantastic! It was great to see current students, parents, friends and past students come and browse the hard work done by the Studio Art , Vis Com and Media classes. Myself , Mr Groves and Ms Reynolds are extremely proud of all the students who worked so hard during the year to complete their visions for their productions. What an amazing range of talent we have at Yavneh. Kol Hakavod to all ! You gave us all so much Nachas! Good luck to all Year 12s in their upcoming exams also.

Scientist The term Scientist is a general one, used to describe someone who researches and examines various aspects of the physical world in order to attain a better understanding of how things work and function. There are many specialisations of a “Scientist” and the work can vary greatly, depending on the specialisation. However each Scientist will follow “the scientific method” which is a strict set of rules. Scientists work in every field imaginable and can be found working for a range of employers. Large and small companies will hire Scientists to work on and research products. Universities will here Scientists to do research and/or to teach. Government Departments and Hospitals issue research grants and hire Scientists to work on funded projects.

Sparrow is by Victorian author Scot Gardner. Sparrow is about a boy who is all alone in the world, living on the streets of Darwin, hiding his true self and unable to speak. Just as he starts to find his feet and form genuine relationships, he gets caught in a tragic situation that lands him in juvenile detention. After a chance to escape, he finds himself on the run in the wilderness of the Kimberly, surviving on his wits and bushcraft in a region full of beauty, as well as snakes, crocodiles and wild pigs. Scot Gardner grew up in Greensborough in

Melbourne. He often writes about the dark

side of life even though his own home life

was in his words “good and boringly happy”.

Scot has been a school counsellor and is also

qualified to handle venomous snakes and

explosives. He became a writer after a

chance meeting with a magazine editor.

Magazine articles led to newspaper pieces

and eventually novels. Scot lives with his wife in country Victoria.

FROM THE INFORMAL SECTOR

ZIONIST CAMPS “The deepest question any of us can ask is: Who am I? To answer it we have to go deeper than, Where do I live? or What do I do? The most fateful moment in my life came when I asked myself that question and knew the answer had to be: I am a Jew.” - Rabbi Sacks Before the term break, I was lucky enough attend Zionist camp with students in Years 9-12. And what an amazing experience it was! Every year the students at Yavneh manage to surprise me and this year was no exception. The students came to camp willing to engage in genuine and serious discussions, be open and challenge themselves. And they were full of ruach (energy). Yavneh students are a special breed, and this is never more evident than on Zionist camp. Of course, camp could not have been possible without the work of the Israeli and local madrichim. The Israeli team put in countless hours of work before camp to prepare the programs and many sleepless nights to ensure that our students had the best possible experience. A massive thank you to Idan Sharabi, Yonatan Himelstein, Yaron Mollov, Shira Hollander and Avital Leichner.

I would also like to thank the tireless behind the scenes work of the Yavneh staff who made camp as smooth as possible. Especially David Fisher, Rabbi Chaim Cowen, Rabbi Noam Sendor, Chana Misholovin, Hannah Rolo, Danny Fantl and all the staff who attended camp. At Yavneh, our informal program aims to provide students with opportunities to enrich their Jewish identity. We run programs that challenge students to consider what Judaism means to them as well as a calendar full of positive Jewish experiences. Our hope is that Yavneh graduates will be thoughtful, active and involved members of the Jewish community and not follow the worldwide trend of disengagement amongst diaspora communities. Zionist camp is certainly the highlight of the informal calendar. On camp, students are challenged to consider their connection to Israel, what their Jewish identity means to them and how to they can

lead a Jewish life once they leave school. This is complemented by an awesome Shabbat experience, full of ruach. After witnessing our students on camp, I am confident that the future of our community is in good hands.
