OWN CORRESPONDENT
The Sefer Torah was hosted by the Aronoff family in loving memory of Albert Aronoff.
A Shabbat lunch was held in honour of Dr Jonathan Beare in recognition of his contribution to the campus.
“The UJC is a beacon of light, attracting Jewish life from all over the province of KwaZulu-Natal. We are privileged to have a community centre of this grandeur, one that is filled with activity on a daily basis, shaping the future of Jewish KZN,” Rev Gilad Friedman told the gathering.
Cameron Wulfsohn reiterated this sentiment: “I needed to regain my connection to Hashem. I have not looked back since joining Akiva and the UJC. I never thought I would have a Barmitzvah. This community is one of a kind.”
Warren Shapiro spoke of Akiva College as “a school with soul, where every child is seen for who they are and educated and loved as an individual”.
