YESHIVA GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL DEAN VECHESHBON We could never pay tribute to Sarah Imeinu without revisiting the personality of Avraham. Since they were a perfect partnership, everything Avraham did needs to be attributed equally to Sarah. So, although it is Parshat Chayei Sarah, I’d like to reflect back on last week’s Vayeira where Hashem begins to relate to Avraham no longer as a servant but, in a sense, as a friend. Besides the message this communicates in terms of Hashem’s relationship to Am Yisrael, it also tells us the importance of the “middah” of friendship. Last Sunday night, I was blown away by the strong demonstration of this attribute, when so many students, not just from Grade 11 but from all the grades, took off vital exam preparation time to be with Shira at the Hazkarah for her late mom, Lindy Lederman z”l. A number of staff and other adults were there as well, including two of Lindy’s close friends Robyn Selkow and Linda Zulberg whom we were privileged to hear speak. Their recollections about Lindy also left us with a model of a real friend, something to aspire to! Avraham no doubt was the pillar of “Chessed”. Picking up from where they left off last week, when the Grade 9’s presented Victor with a birthday present (after a few weeks’ secret collection!) out of appreciation for all he does looking after the grounds and facilities of the Girls’ High School, their class invited Rosey and a busload of her beautiful orphans from the Fountain of Love in Katlehong, for an afternoon of fun and creativity. Rosey and the FOL are no strangers to us. We’ve been privileged to assist Rosey in her legendary work for many years. Currently she has over 30 children living with her at home, she looks after almost 50 others at her day-care Centre and twice a week Rosey runs a soup kitchen for an additional 100 children. She has 3 “children” who have started university degrees – 1 at Wits and 2 at UJ! Next year I hope we’ll get involved in more projects to help them. 18 November 2011 – 21 Cheshvan 7
