LETTERS SAY WHAT? HAVE YOUR SAY… fEmail the editor at [email protected] WIN It is with great pride that I compliment you and your team on an excellent edition of the Jewish Life. Each of the 67 editions of your magazine has been such a good read, but the 68th, the Holiday Edition, Chanukah, for me, has been very special. It is true that at the end of a year, I can put my feet up and derive the full benefit of each article. It is difficult for me to single out one article, but I have found each one well written, interesting and appropriate. As a part of a rainbow nation, it is heart-warming to read about the wonderful work our community does for the less privileged, no matter colour or creed .What is so nice is the inclusion of opinions from our youth. Articles on Israel have been interesting. Thanks to Bev Goldman. Our Jewish educational institutions are providing our children with a superb spectrum of activities. Well done! The national and international articles were also very inspiring. The charity work done by so many selfless people is amazing! Thank you, Rabbi Goldman, for the warm article written about your family. You touched a very sensitive chord when you spoke about emigration. Yes, we have made a decision to share our Pesach with our lovely family from Israel and Australia in South Africa. Chanukah has been a very good time to ‘rekindle sparks of peace’ and light, in our busy lives and to connect with our Judaism. We, as the Jewish community, are very fortunate to have a publication of this calibre, and I look forward to the next edition with equal interest. Warm wishes CAROL SCHWAB I enjoy reading your magazine. I keep each copy on my desk, and so I have plenty of them in front of me. When I am looking for a certain topic, I open the magazines and I read the relevant topic needed. Toda for enriching my life. A STERN GATES OF PRAYER – The Ten Term ́
