Our Year 9 students captivated the school community this week during the highly anticipated Public Speaking Competition. The event provided students with the opportunity to delve into Jewish topics of their choice, showcasing their research, creativity, and presentation skills.
The top speakers from each group were invited to present their speeches before a distinguished panel of judges, including Marc Light, Principal, and Rabbi Allison Conyer, Senior Rabbi of Temple Beth Israel.
The range of topics explored was as diverse as it was impressive, reflecting the students' curiosity and dedication. At the end of a thought-provoking day, Gabriel Cosgrove was awarded first place for his insightful and humorous exploration of 'How significant has Adam Sandler’s impact been on Jewish culture and comedy?' Lily Litinsky earned second place with her compelling analysis of 'Was the Dreyfus Trial the Most Significant Factor Influencing Modern Zionism?'
Mazal Tov to Gabriel and Lily for their outstanding achievements, and Kol HaKavod to all participants for their hard work and enthusiasm.
