Generation Sinai goes from strength to strength
Chief Rabbi Warren Goldstein initiated the Generation Sinai project in South Africa in 2011. Today more than 100 Jewish day schools across six continents – children and parents – study Torah together before Shavuot-the holiday which marks the actual giving of the Torah. Parents and children celebrated this global togetherness and learning on Friday of last week.

Rabbi Goldstein’s project aims to ensure that the legacy of the Torah that Hashem gave to His people on Mount Sinai will remain in the world for generations to come by Jewish parents handing it on to their children.
According to Rabbi Goldstein, the Torah is the unifying factor of the Jewish people, who are otherwise separated by oceans and mountains, continents and climates, language and culture
“It always amazes me how we can trace our chain of tradition all the way back to that momentous day that we received the Torah from Hashem at Mount Sinai,” said Rabbi Goldstein. “It got me thinking about how powerful and important the connection between each and every generation is.”
The Chief Rabbi said it brought to mind a story about his great-grandfather Kalmin Meir Goldstein and he invited the Jewish community to watch this story on generationsinai.com
“…Generation Sinai takes us right back to where it all started, where we encountered the single most important event in our history as a people.” Shavuot in 2015/5775, the 6th day of the Hebrew month of Sivan, made this year exactly 3 327 years since the momentous event.
“It may sound far away and a very long time ago, but, in this time together, we will discover how close to that day we really are and how much it means to us,” Rabbi Goldstein said.
