At the Valedictory Assembly on Friday 22 October, ͵Ƶ Captains Jakey Parry and Aviya Solomon to those assembled. Jakey focused on the value of what he termed ‘The Carmel Bubble’ in preparing graduates for life outside of ͵Ƶ while Aviya farewelled and thanked Principal Shula Lazar, recognised the supreme vision of Carmel’s founding families and focused on the stabilising anchor provided by a sound Jewish education.


Said Aviya, echoing the words of her grandfather and FounderJoe Berinson OBM, “Judaism will survive if we treat it as a religion or a way of life but it will certainly not survive if we treat it as a part-time hobby. Because, while you can do many things on a part time basis - you can play sport part time, you can work part time - you can’t be a Jew part time.”
Wishing Jakey, Aviya, the rest of our capable SRC and wonderful Class of 2021, lehitraot, farewell, as they relax after exams and claim their bright futures.
