Mazal Tov and kol hakavod to Rebbetzin Rivki on graduating with her Bachelor of Education degree! From Rivki's Facebook post: "...what an extremely proud moment it was. A culmination of four and a half years of hard work, stress, tears, placements, many many nights of burning the midnight oil writing assignments and precious time away from my children. Made even more difficult by nearly two years of Covid lockdowns and isolation, which meant working from home, having 5 kids bouncing off the walls with the insanity of it all, and trying to study. And yet here I am. As I reflect, I feel such a sense of accomplishment, that this goal that I set for myself has finally been accomplished. I have learnt so much on this journey, both about education and about myself. That dreams can become reality if we work really hard - When there’s a will, there’s a way. That things that seem impossible and insurmountable, are not. That having an education is a privilege. That family support is everything..."

Are you 25-40? Passionate about leadership and philanthropy? If not you, then perhaps this may suit your children or grandchildren... UIA Victoria is calling emerging leaders and philanthropists to join our UIA Philanthropy Fellowship, run in conjunction with the Australian Jewish Funders. A North American study found in the next 5-10 years, 75-90% of senior Jewish community leaders will retire or leave their positions. This trend is likely to occur in our local community, so we are preparing to welcome a thoughtful, inspiring and well-informed new generation of community leaders.

Parashat Eikev - Deuteronomy 7:12–11:25In the Parshah of Eikev (“Because”), Moses continues his closing address to the children of Israel, promising them that if they will fulfill the commandments (mitzvot) of the Torah, they will prosper in the Land they are about to conquer and settle in keeping with G‑d’s promise to their forefathers. Moses also rebukes them for their failings in their first generation as a people, recalling their worship of the Golden Calf, the rebellion of Korach, the sin of the spies, their angering of G‑d at Taveirah, Massah and Kivrot Hataavah (“The Graves of Lust”). “You have been rebellious against G‑d,” he says to them, “since the day I knew you.” But he also speaks of G‑d’s forgiveness of their sins, and the Second Tablets which G‑d inscribed and gave to them following their repentance. Their forty years in the desert, says Moses to the people, during which G‑d sustained them with daily manna from heaven, was to teach them “that man does not live on bread alone, but by the utterance of G‑d’s mouth does man live.” Moses describes the land they are about to enter as “flowing with milk and honey,” blessed with the “seven kinds” (wheat, barley, grapevines, figs, pomegranates, olive oil and dates), and as the place that is the focus of G‑d’s providence of His world. He commands them to destroy the idols of the land’s former masters, and to beware lest they become haughty and begin to believe that “my power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth.” A key passage in our Parshah is the second chapter of the Shema, which repeats the fundamental mitzvot enumerated in the Shema’s first chapter, and describes the rewards of fulfilling G‑d’s commandments and the adverse results (famine and exile) of their neglect. It is also the source of the precept of prayer, and includes a reference to the resurrection of the dead in the messianic age.
