Rebecca Goldberg invited a wonderful group of family and friends to celebrate her birthday in a giving and meaningful way.  Delicious meals were prepared for families in need and were delivered to the Melbourne Community Freezer.  

Our Barmi boys had a special opportunity this week to learn about safety and responsibility. The boys also had the opportunity to ask many questions and a wonderful discussion followed.

Bar Mitzvah Enrichment

Attention Grade 6 Boys: 

In Term 2 (April), Chabad Malvern will begin its annual Bar Mitzvah enrichment classes. This is a program that is open to all boys no matter where they are having their Bar Mitzvah. These classes are not to teach the boys their Parshah or Haftorah but to prepare them for their Bar Mitzvah with an understanding of their new role.

Through hands on activities and different speakers we help them learn more about Yiddishkeit and themselves as they develop into manhood. These classes have developed a reputation for bonding the children as friends and supporting each other during this exciting year.

We will be holding a meeting for Parents and sons to discuss and familiarize you with our plans for the forthcoming Bar Mitzvah Program which commences in Term 2.

It is integral that you attend this meeting so we can hear from you about your expectations and what you would like this program to achieve.
 
The meeting has been scheduled for:
 
Monday Evening March 25th
At the Chabad Malvern Youth Centre
353 Glenferrie Road, Malvern
Commencing at 8:00 pm
Concluding at approx. 8:45 pm

 
Please RSVP to Reuvi if you can make it: [email protected]

Parshah in a Nutshell

Parshat Vayak'hel

Moses assembles the people of Israel and reiterates to them the commandment to observe the Shabbat. He then conveys G‑d’s instructions regarding the making of the Mishkan (Tabernacle). The people donate the required materials in abundance, bringing gold, silver and copper; blue-, purple- and red-dyed wool; goat hair, spun linen, animal skins, wood, olive oil, herbs and precious stones. Moses has to tell them to stop giving.

A team of wise-hearted artisans make the Mishkan and its furnishings (as detailed in the previous Torah readings of Terumah, Tetzaveh and Ki Tisa): three layers of roof coverings; 48 gold-plated wall panels, and 100 silver foundation sockets; the parochet ( veil) that separates between the Sanctuary’s two chambers, and the masach ( screen) that fronts it; the ark, and its cover with the cherubim; the table and its showbread; the seven-branched menorah with its specially prepared oil; the golden altar and the incense burned on it; the anointing oil; the outdoor altar for burnt offerings and all its implements; the hangings, posts and foundation sockets for the courtyard; and the basin and its pedestal, made out of copper mirrors.
