Talmud Torah Generations

- Cheryl Unterslak

On the last Sunday of every month Talmud Torah Generations has a parent-child learning session at the Holocaust Centre. The parents and children all love the material produced by Rabbi Vegoda, and they thoroughly enjoy the learning sessions. Itâ€™s wonderful to see the parents learning brachot, middot, and about famous Jewish personalities together, and hearing them discussing what they learnt.

The learning sessions take place on Sundays at 4pm and the dates for the rest of this year are as follows: 27th July, 31st August, 21st September, 26th October and 23rd November.

If you have not attended yet, come and bring the children and enjoy. Refreshments are always served.

TALMUD TORAH GENERATIONS

Cheryl Unterslack

Talmud Torah Generations had their first parent and child learning session on Sunday the 23rd of February at Moriah and it was a huge success with twenty children and their parents in attendance.

Rabbi Vegoda has worked hard to produce an incredible A4 sized booklet for Talmud Torah Generations lessons. The booklet is in colour with stories told in cartoon form, as well as in beautifully written narratives and all teaching about middot (Good character traits). Each week they are also introduced to a different Torah personality. This month our learners, parents included, leant about Rabbi Aryeh Levin in Israel, and about having empathy for others. In the section on prayer they learnt about the mode ani prayer that we say in the mornings. The prayer was given in Hebrew, English and phonetics so that the children could go home and learn it.Added to the lesson was a beautiful explanation of the prayer.

All three classrooms were full, so from next month we are changing our venue. The Talmud Torah Generations parent and child learning sessions will now take place once a month in the lecture room of the Holocaust Centre and the Durban Jewish Club. The sessions will be, as always, be from 4pm to 5pm.

The next session will be on the Sunday the 23rd March. We invite the parents and children to come down to the Jewish Club, perhaps enjoy a delicious meal at the Circle cafÃ©, and then to come and attend the learning session. Light snacks will be provided.

The Talmud Torah team look forward to seeing you there!
