NEWSLETTER NO. 12/13 

The concept of holiness according to the Torah does not demand that everyone become an ascetic, 

withdrawing from life, society and civilization. Every single person can and is required to become holy – it 

is not reserved for the philosophers. The Torah gives us the recipe: “You shall be holy for holy am I 

Hashem, your G-d. Every man, your mother and father, shall you revere and my Shabbos shall you 

observe ……..”. By channeling the entire normal human experience, with attention to the ‘small’ things, 

according to the law of Hashem’s morality, one achieves holiness. 

Rambam explains that the concept of holiness is not limited to the observance of any particular Mitzvos. 

Rather, holiness demands that one’s approach to all aspects of life be governed by moderation – 

especially in permitted areas. 

One who observes only the letter of the law can easily become a “naval birshut Hatorah” – a degenerate 

with the license of the Torah”. Such a person can punctiliously observe the minutiae of the law whilst 

allowing himself unlimited self-indulgence, gluttony and licentiousness – all with ‘license’. 

The Torah calls on us to “Kadesh atzmecha bemutar lach” – Sanctify yourself in what is permitted to you.” 

Our challenge as people and parents is more than just technical compliance with the law. Rather, we 

need to strive to create a life environment – for ourselves and our children – of drawing closer to spiritual 

values – to Hashem, by creating a ceiling on our worldly needs. 

More is not always better, and often one achieves a greater peace of mind and spiritual well-being simply 

by applying the rule that less is more. This discipline creates a freedom which will allow one to pursue 

spiritual values.

MENAHEL’S MICHTAV 

Dear Friends, 

What a rollercoaster of a week it has been! We began with Yom Hazikaron on Sunday evening and 

Monday, which gave way for the fantastic celebration of Yom Ha’atzmaut on Monday evening and 

Tuesday. The commemoration of Yom Hazikaron was incredibly powerful in both the community and 

school events and Yom Ha’atzmaut was then celebrated in phenomenal style throughout Johannesburg. 

Being my first Yom Ha’atzmaut outside of Israel for a number of years, I was so overwhelmed to see how 

deeply and enthusiastically the community in South Africa celebrates this incredibly special day for the 

Jewish People. 

Here are some snaps from the past few days… 

Yom Hazikaron School Ceremony (Brilliant and moving programme run by YiD team) 

For the first time we, as the school, ran a fantastic Yom Haatzmaut Learning and Activites Programme for 

the entire campus. It was well attended and a great experience for all those that took part – thank you to all 

those who joined us... 


4

Yom Haatzmaut Day began with a beautiful Tefilla in the Big Shul, where the entire school from Grade 1 

up joined the school for a wonderful Hallel in honour of Yom Ha’atzmaut. 

The Boys’ High School then continued with a fantastic breakfast organized by YiD, which included a 

special quiz, cool videos, a Dvar Torah by Rav Natan Alexander, ending off with a special video message 

that we recorded from all the boys to Sam Cohen, who competed in the International Bible Quiz in Israel. 

Sam did incredibly well to get into the international finals, competing with the top 15 contestants from all 

over the world! Well done Sam – you have brought so much nachas to your family and school. We then 

continued with a phenomenal parade and march for the whole school through Glenhazel – led by vibey 

music and a live band! 


5

Baruch Hashem, we proudly waved the flag of our homeland, Eretz Yisrael, in incredible style! 

In this vein, we wish hatzlacha raba to the contestants from our school taking part in the first round of the 

Israel Quiz today (Thursday) – we’re sure you’ll do us so proud as you deepen your love for our nation and 

our land through passionate and committed learning about our modern state - Medinat Yisrael. 

This week’s Parsha, Acharei-Mot, instructs us regarding the service of the Kohen Gadol on Yom Kippur. 

There are some interesting issues that arise in regards to our understanding of evil in the world when we 

investigate the subject of the ‘Seir l’Azazel’ - which forms part of the Avodah of Yom Kippur. Rav Aviner 

writes in his commentary this week that while on Yom Kippur we get a slight glimpse into how even evil 

forms a part of Hashem’s grand plan for the world , (there is nothing that exists outside of Hashem) we 

cannot and must not operate on this level in our day-to-day lives. In our practical lives, we are to use our 

minds to discern between good and bad and constantly find ways to choose good over bad – that which is 

right over that which is evil. I shared this with the boys at line-up when bringing up the terrible tragedy that 

took place this week in Boston, in the United States. Many were injured and some lost their lives in this 

terrible act of evil. We hope and pray that those who were injured recover speedily and that the families of 

the bereaved should be able to find comfort somehow as time goes on. We stood for a moment of silence 

at line-up to share in the pain of our fellow human beings. 

So this week really was a rollercoaster of emotions – from Yom Hazikaron to Yom Ha’atzmaut and then to 

learn of this tragedy in the United States. 

To end off on an incredibly joyous note though, we wish Gilad Friedman, the head of YiD, our experiential 

department, a huge mazeltov on his engagement to Tracy Mayef this week! May they be zocheh to build a 

bayit ne’eman b’Yisrael (b’Yisrael!) 

We also wish the Grade 8s an incredible time on their Shabbaton this week in a new and exciting 

Shabbaton Venue in Magaliesburg! Rav Zevi Wineberg will be joining them and we are sure they will have 

a phenomenal time! Enjoy! 

Shabbat Shalom, 

Leron Bernstein

FROM THE DESK OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE HIGH SCHOOLS 

Dear parents 

Yom Hazikaron is held annually on 4 Iyar to commemorate the fallen soldiers of the IDF and the 

victims of terror at the hands of those who are anti-Israel and anti the Jewish People in general. 

On Monday, 15 th April 2013, Yeshiva College held a ceremony to commemorate Yom Hazikaron. 

Over 22500 soldiers have fallen protecting Jews since the dream of the establishment of the State 

of Israel. In addition, over 4000 Israeli citizens have fallen at the brutal hands of terrorists. The 

ceremony which was organised by the YiD department was extremely moving and enlightening. The 

learners were totally captivated as the Israeli flag was lowered to half- mast. One of the our learners 

then lit a yortzeit candle and we davened for the IDF and Israel. This was followed by the reciting of 

tehilim. Chazan Chrysler then sang el maale rachamim and we said Yizkor. The ceremony was 

concluded with a very enthusiastic singing of Hatikva. We remembered and honoured those who 

have fallen, so that we as Jews can feel more secure no matter where we live. 

Tuesday 16 th April was a day of great celebration after the sombre tone of Yom Hazikaron. Yom 

Ha’atzmaut at Yeshiva College started with davening at 8.00 a.m. in the main Shul. Our YiD 

department ran a programme for both the Boys’ and Girls’ High Schools. Thereafter all the schools, 

other than the nursery school, came together for a parade that started from the entrance of the 

school, went into Ridge Rd and around and then back into the school through the Mikveh gate. 

Most of our learners went to Gold Reef City where there was a communal celebration of Yom 

Ha’atzmaut. The report back that we have had from our learners is that they had a wonderful time 

and that the entire day was a great success. 

A reminder that our first General Studies Parents Evening for Grade 7 – 9 Boys, will be taking place 

on Tuesday 23 rd April at 16h30 – 19h30. 

On Thursday 25 th April 2013 at 16h30 – 19h30 we will be having the Parents Evening for Grade 10 

& 11 Boys. 

Wishing everybody a wonderful Shabbos. 

Warm regards

HEAD GIRLS’ PAGE 

As kids, we always took the State of Israel for granted. It was where we 

spent Pesach holidays and visited family. 

But now, as we reach the end of our school career and the prospect of a 

gap year in the Holy Land awaits us, we have developed a new 

understanding and appreciation of the miracle that the State really is. 

Against the back drop of the very moving Yom Hashoah ceremony last 

Sunday and after hearing the compelling story of a Holocaust survivor, we 

can see how pivotal the establishment of Eretz Yisrael truly is to the 

existence of the Jewish people. Yom Haatzmaut is a day to celebrate this 

miracle and it’s no longer merely a trip to Gold Reef City waving Israeli 

flags. Rather, it has become a meaningful experience where we 

acknowledge our past, appreciate our present, and look forward to our 

future in the land filled with milk and honey. 

We wish all the matrics the best of luck for first prelims. Do all the past 

papers you can! 


Love Gila, Aviva and Yaffa

COUNSELLORS’ CORNER 


How Parents Can Keep Up With Technology 

By: Denise Rowden 

As a parent, it can be hard to keep up with all the social networking sites out there. When my kids were in 

their early teens, it seemed that every time I got a handle on the various social media sites they used, they 

would be on to the next new thing. When my son was in middle school, it was all about Myspace. Then 

Youtube became big and “everyone” was posting videos of skateboarding face plants and other death 

defying acts. Next there was MyYearbook, with Facebook and Twitter soon following. Skype was 

introduced somewhere in there, but it took a while to catch on. With the advent of Android and I-phones, 

and the subsequent available apps, it seems the social networking world is growing exponentially. 

I was reading an article recently which likened Facebook to a chaperoned dance. The perspective was that 

even though kids have Facebook accounts, most of their actual social interactions are being done on other 

sites and apps that can’t be monitored as easily by parents as Facebook can. 

The truth is, this generation is more plugged in than any previous generation ever was. They can find out 

anything about anything with simply a touch of a button or a swipe across a touch screen. Many of their 

social interactions are conducted via cell phone or computer. Where you and I might have met after school 

and talked about what we were going to be doing this weekend, kids can talk to people in the next town, 

the next state and even the next country without leaving their rooms. 

Quite awe-inspiring if you ask me. Also, quite scary, because it brings to the surface how little you may 

actually know about what your kid is doing or who they may be talking to. 

So, what can a parent do in the face of all of this technology? What can you do to keep your kids safe? 

Step 1) I think the first step may be accepting the fact you’re not always going to know where your kid is or 

what he is doing. As scary as it may feel to admit this, you’re not always going to know who they are 

talking to. If you think back to when you were a teen, can you honestly say your parents knew where you 

were 24/7? While some may be able to answer “yes,” the vast majority of us won’t. 

Step 2) Once you accept that inevitability, you can start focusing on where you have the most control: the 

skills you teach your child and how you respond to his choices. Think about how to set limits, coach your 

child through difficult situations and, when they make a mistake, problem solve ways they can handle a 

situation better in the future. 

12

Step 3) Familiarize yourself every now and then with what’s new in the tech world so you’re not caught 

unawares when something new comes on the scene. It’s also OK to limit the amount of time they spend in 

front of a screen, whether that is TV, computer, iPad, iPod or cell phone screen. 

Step 4) Sit down with your child and talk about all of this technology — the good, the bad, the cool and the 

not so cool. Role model how to use this technology appropriately. And, though you may talk about 

instances of kids using this technology inappropriately as a way to start a conversation, try to remember 

there also are a lot of kids who do use it appropriately. 

The most important piece in all of this is you — though I know there are times it may not feel that way. It 

helps to keep in mind the ultimate goal of parenting: helping your child become a successful adult by 

teaching him the skills to enable him to make well-thought-out choices. Parenting is a tough job. But, then 

again, so is growing up. Understand your child is going to make mistakes and bad choices. Help him use 

those choices as the learning tools they can be.

Dear Parents, 

Yom Huledet Sameach Eretz Yisrael. I do hope that you all had a wonderful day filled with much 

happiness and excitement. Our day at Yeshiva College was filled with pride! After our davening, we joined 

the High School for Hallel! It is such a Kiddush Hashem watching all the children in the main shul davening 

together, not to mention the great naches that our Rosh Yeshiva Rabbi Tanzer received. A little later we 

marched through the streets of Glenhazel proudly waving our Israeli flags, ending with a street party on 

Nicholson Avenue. A big Yashar Koach to the organizers of the day. Your hard work is so appreciated. 

Next week Tuesday, 23 April 2013 is our 1 st session of Parent-Teacher interviews, and Monday, 29 

April 2013 will be our 2 nd session. 

By this stage, you should be aware of your date and times for the meeting. 

Parents, please note that each interview has been allotted specific slots. Kindly stick to your times to 

enable teachers to be punctual and to avoid other parents waiting around. 

Should there be a need to have a further discussion with the teachers, please set up another appointment 

that is suitable for all parties. 

There will be no extra murals on Tuesday, 23 April 2013 for the following: 

Grade1: Art Club 

Grade 4: Maths Support

I M P O R T A N T I N F O R M A T I O N: 

1. In the past, children who have been late for school 5 times receive suspension! In order to avoid 

children missing class time, the consequence will now be missing break for a week. Children 

will be supervised in the office and will of course be allowed to eat. Please ensure that your 

child is on time for school in order to avoid the above from occurring. 

2. Next week Wednesday, 24 April 2013 is Pesach Sheni. Please ensure that you send some 

matzah as part of your child’s lunch. 

Shabbat Shalom.

YESHIVA COLLEGE PRE-PRIMARY SCHOOL 

PRINCIPAL 

Dear Parents 

We have had the most amazing week! 

Our week started with a visit by a young South African - Daniel Jacobson - who served in the Israeli army. 

Affiliated to the organisation, "Friends of the IDF", Daniel spoke to the four year old, five year old and 

Grade R units in honour of Yom HaZikaron. The children were fascinated by this "real" soldier and some 

very pertinent and "cute" questions were asked, all of which Daniel answered so good-naturedly! Learning 

the correct way to march and salute was, of course, a favourite part of the visit. 

Yom Ha'Atzmaut celebrations started with a campus/Mizrachi function on Monday night. The Nursery 

School was an absolute hive of activity as children busied themselves with the variety of activities on offer. 

It was wonderful to have so many of our children with us as well as visitors from other schools. 


Blue balloons, flags and streamers greeted our children, on Tuesday morning, as 

they arrived at school for a morning of fun and 

treats. From Playschool to Grade R, the 

fun and activity never stopped! 

Our Playschool children enjoyed a Yom Ha'Atzmaut themed music and movement ring as well as a 

dramatised story of a visit to Israel. The 4's and 5's marched and danced in the Nursery School garden 

with Morah Ita while the Grade R's joined the Primary and High Schools for Hallel and the march. 

Dressed in blue and white; waving flags; marching, dancing and singing; our children filled our school with 

the most incredible warmth and vibe! 

Delicious falafel in pita was served and eaten with much relish in a picnic 

in the garden. Taking home either a blue or white balloon and a cookie 

was the perfect ending to an incredible day at school!

For many of our kids this is not easy as they encounter significant barriers 

including poverty, stressful home circumstances and parents who themselves 

lack basic literacy skills. Most of these kids do not have access to books other 

than at school. 

As part of our on-going work to increase literacy amongst disadvantaged kids, 

Egolisquash is currently running a Help Me to Read Campaign, an appeal to the 

wider community to donate books for our libraries that we have setup at our 

centres. We need books for kids age: 8 – 19. 

You can help make a difference in these kids’ lives and help them excel in their 

academics by donating school books, story books, educational games and 

dictionaries. 

Donate books now and you could help make our nation more literate today! 

Please drop books at 

Boys High School – Teresa 

Girls High School – Dvora 

Primary School – Leanne 

Nursery School / Play School 

– please give to class teachers 

Call Kaylee or Ariella on 0118828715 or email kaylee_lazza@hotmail.com to 

arrange for collection.Visit our website: www.egolisquash.co.za OR

We appreciate your support!
