////ABOUT US
WE PROVIDE THE BUILDING BLOCKS FOR OUR STUDENTS TO LIVE A CONNECTED
JEWISH LIFE. THIS MEANS WE TEACH THEM THE SKILLS TO PARTICIPATE IN AND
ENJOY THE KNOWLEDGE OF OUR RICH CULTURE AND HERITAGE, AS WELL AS THE
OPPORTUNITY TO INTERACT WITH THE WIDER JEWISH COMMUNITY.
UJEB ANNUAL REPORT 2014
1
////PRESIDENT’S REPORT
The year in review was one of
continued challenges for UJEB,
as well as one of significant
achievement.
We introduced two new and
exciting programs that service
groups of children previously
unreached – our batmitzvah
program and our new integrated
offering at Glen Eira College.
Strategically, the issues we
faced in 2014 were not new,
but had greater impact on
our capacity to deliver for the
community. Changes to the
government’s policy on Special
Religious Instruction (SRI) has
certainly impacted on our 1,300
students in government primary
schools, while increasing
demand for our services
continues to be met with flat
growth in our revenue.
This crossroad at which UJEB
finds itself also presents
opportunity for the organisation
as we look to our operations in
our 120th year and beyond. In
keeping with the message of
our 2015 Appeal, the Jewish
2
Mr Yossi Goldfarb
community has changed
significantly since UJEB began
operations in 1895, and UJEB
must continue to change along
with the needs of our community
– to maintain relevancy for our
families and many generous
and committed supporters.
Our batmitzvah program,
introduced for the first time
in 2014, was an unheralded
success. Credit for the initiative
goes to our indefatigable
executive director, Marlo
Newton, for not only conceiving
of the program, but also for its
excellent delivery. Marlo was
ably assisted by Naomi Chester
who taught and led the girls
on their transition to Jewish
adulthood. The graduation
ceremony was a genuinely
impressive and enjoyable
simcha, enjoyed by the girls
and their families. No greater
illustration of the program’s
success is provided by the fact
that before the 2014 cohort had
completed their course, the
office had already registered
bookings for the next two years.
Glen Eira College is fast
becoming a central school
for Jewish children. The
introduction of Hebrew into the
formal LOTE curriculum a few
years ago has consolidated
this position. Last year, UJEB
began its Jewish Education @
Glen Eira program (JED), which
provides regular after school
classes on Jewish literacy for
students as well as some wholeschool activities on significant
dates such as Yom HaShoah
and Channukah. JED would
not have gotten off the ground
without the efforts of board
member Jeremy Leibler and the
support of generous patrons
The Pratt Foundation, Werdiger
family and another anonymous
benefactor. We look forward
to continued growth in this
developing area for our
activities.
Changes to the SRI framework
– implemented by the previous
state government in 2014 have
brought significant challenges
to our mission. At the beginning
of 2014, we were reaching
The world exists only because of the
innocent breath of schoolchildren.
- Talmud, Shabbat
1,300 Jewish children across
38 separate schools, and this
number has decreased to
around 1,000 students as a
result of the changes.
The extent to which these
changes will impact our capacity
to reach these students still
remains to be seen. For
example, the difficulty reaching
children in the lead-up to our
annual camp, impacted on the
camp’s numbers.
We have had productive
discussions with government
– across all levels – on this
topic, although where the issue
will eventually settle remains
unclear. What is clear is that,
consistent with our 120 year
history, we must identify new
opportunities to connect the
Jewish children for whom
we are responsible with their
community. In that light, we
are considering new options for
service delivery that we hope to
announce later in 2015.
Our after-school centres are
one option for dealing with the
opportunities presented by
the changes to SRI. From the
end of 2014, we were able to
offer parents the advantage of
claiming the child-care rebate
as part of their fees for Merkaz
Bentleigh. This resulted in a
net reduction for most parents,
which was welcomed by all.
2015 sees the end of our threeyear agreement with BPS,
and we will look to continue
Merkaz’s operations at a site
where we can provide maximum
value to our students. We
have been fortunate to receive
support for Merkaz from Gandel
Philanthropy, for which we
continue to be grateful.
Our 120th anniversary next year
provides pause for reflection,
celebration and reinvigoration.
Our mission remains as it has
for much of our 120 years, but
the delivery will change as
our community, and its needs,
change too.
It is a continued honour to
serve as UJEB’s president. I
have committed to remain
for a further year and the
board’s focus must now turn
to succession. The board’s
commitment to UJEB and
its mission remains strong
and I would like to thank my
fellow board members for their
ongoing, tireless, and often
thankless efforts. The office
team, able led by Marlo Newton
also makes a contribution that is
greater than the sum of its parts.
Having completed well over
a century, we now enter
our “second lifetime” as an
organisation. The future holds
great promise, and we will
continue to realise that promise
for the sake of our children.

(2013: $191,310) represented
mainly by cash held with
banking institutions.
Jonathan Caplan
Some of UJEB’s major donor
pledges had come to an end
of a cycle pre January 2014
with uncertainty as to ongoing
agreed commitments. As can be
seen above, UJEB’s expenses
reduced significantly during the
2014 year mainly due to the
saving on wages from religious
education in relation to the SRI
decisions by Principals of our
main schools.
Cost control and sustainability
has been the continued focus
in 2014. This is evidenced by
continued financial review of
each program, whether it being
our camps, bat-mitzvah or
Hebrew Centres. The decision
to relocate to smaller offices
within Beth Weizmann
Community Centre at the end
of the year was triggered by this
exact reason.
Donor income and community
engagement with UJEB is now
critical to ensure UJEB survives
beyond our significant upcoming
milestone this year.
UJEB’s role in the community
has never been more important.
As UJEB enters its 120th year
of operating, the requirement to
provide Jewish education to our
children comes at a great cost.
The continued support of our
major donors, bequests and the
annual Yom Tov appeals will help
drive UJEB into the future.
Once again special thanks to
Hilton Miller, our auditor and
Julian Isaacs, UJEB’s bookkeeper for their assistance with
the audit.
Marlo and her team continue to
manage the efficient level of cost
control and her commitment to
meeting very difficult budgetary
costs should be endorsed.

////EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT
2014 was memorable in a
number of ways. We added a
brand new Batmitzvah program,
a High School Jewish Studies
class, and complete revamped
our internal administration and
location. On the other hand a
major challenge to the existence
of our religious education
program in primary schools
occurred with changes in delivery
of Special Religious Instruction
(SRI) from July onwards. While
the repercussions are still
being felt, it is incumbent on
us to respond to this trial with
creativity, on behalf of the 1,500
students who rely on us for their
Jewish education.
ADMIN
A not for profit often uses both
hardware and software that is
either “hand me down” or past its
“best by” date. We ran an audit
of our office systems, especially
focusing on fundraising, reports
and data retention and decided
we needed to move to a cloudbased system. Over the first
three months of 2014, Salesforce
was customised for UJEB, then
installed and staff trained in its
6
use. Personally, I have gained
a lot from being able to run
reports as required, and to track
projects and appeals in real time.
We also installed a new phone
system and computer backup
process. I feel confident that
UJEB is now at best practice in
record keeping and security. In
a final audit of office issues, we
took the decision this year to
move back into Beth Weizmann.
We are looking forward to
new opportunities arising from
sharing space in the communal
building.
GOVERNANCE
This year saw a major communal
focus on Child Protection. UJEB
completed five sessions on
Child Protection with Kate Levi,
through the JCCV. We rewrote
our Child Protection policy and
believe we are proactive in
our approach and thorough in
our application of policy. We
shared the communual sorrow
at revelations of abuse heard at
the Royal Commission and urge
anyone who has experienced
abuse to contact the police.
PROGRAMS
Over the past three years we
had assisted parents of Glen
Eira College to establish Hebrew
as a language offered on
campus. In 2014 we aimed to
take the next step in supporting
parents there by establishing
a Jewish Studies program
after hours. The class runs for
1.5 hours on a Wednesday
afternoon, and in its first year of
operation has secured students
from McKinnon and Brighton
Secondary Colleges as well as
GEC attendees. The program
was funded by grants from the
Pratt Foundation, the Werdiger
Family Foundation and an
anonymous donor.
Our other major new program,
was the first UJEB Batmitzvah
program in five years. Our
approach was predicated on
the need for our students to
have meaningful learning that
connected them to the wider
community. For that reason
we sought partnerships with
Stand Up, the Jewish Museum
of Australia and the National
Council of Jewish Women of
What is the true national education? That which makes children
absorb the national spirit unconsciously.
- Achad Ha’am
Australia. Each of the partner
organisations co-teach a term
with us, and young Jewish
women are given different ways
and means to connect with
the Jewish community as they
graduate out of religious school.
Eleven participants joined our
inaugural program this year.
Our full report on our Hebrew
Centres is included. My personal
thanks go to our Roshim, or
Heads of Campus. Limor Peretz
ran Merkaz Bentleigh and
worked closely with me all year
to secure approval for the site
as an accredited After School
Care provider. We added an
“ivrit b’ivrit” or Hebrew-only day
on Mondays, in response to
parent demand. Limor left in
December to open her own art
class business but will remain
part of the UJEB family. Omer
Rosinger began his UJEB
career as an SRI teacher and
occasional musician but in 2014
was promoted to run the CJC
Afterschool site. His dedication
and vigour have been apparent
and we welcome him to our
team. Our thanks to the Gandel
Foundation for their ongoing
support of Merkaz Bentleigh.
The Special Religious Instruction
program in public primary
schools in Victoria (SRI) or
religious education as it was
previously known received a
thorough overhaul by the State
government in July 2014. A full
report is on page 12 My thanks
go to our Coordinator of R.E.
Becky Kiper-Fox and her team
of teachers. Their ongoing
commitment and the hours they
log to reach as many of our
students as possible is truly
remarkable.
The Jewish Student Network
continued from strength to
strength. In June our longtime
Coordinator Dani Miller resigned
to pursue her next adventure.
Our maturity as an organisation
was displayed when Beau
Landes, a UJEB and JSN
graduate, became the first
participant to lead the program.
Zac Blum joined us as Rosh
Machane (Head of Camp) and
we continued our programs at
Glen Eira College, Brighton,
Bentleigh and McKinnon
Secondary colleges.
Supported by a start up
grant from the Besen Family
Foundation, we began a Parents
and Friends group this year
on the model of state primary
schools. Our first family function
was held on Chol Hamoed
Sukkot at Allnutt Park. Fifty
people attended.
As we move into our 120th year,
UJEB is poised to reinvent itself
once again, as an advocate
for families outside the day
school system, as a partner in
government initiatives to make
primary schools responsive to
their local communities, and as
a provider of Jewish education
from Prep to year 12 and on into
gap year programs.

////WHY SUPPORT UJEB?
UJEB SHARES SOME GREAT STORIES OF OUR SUPPORTERS
WINTER BLOWOUT
Hayley Southwick of Ice events supported UJEB with
funds raised from her annual Winter Blowout event. Her
disco for years 3 to 6 children from all schools. The event
raised $ 4120 and we would like to thank Ice Events for
selecting UJEB for 2014.
RENA ADLER MEMORIAL
Rena’s part time occupation as a religious instructor for
UJEB lasted nearly 30 years
Over the years with UJEB, Rena taught at more than a
dozen state public schools ranging from Doncaster Park in
the east to Oakleigh Sth. & numerous others in between
with class sizes ranging from two dozen to just one or
two. In those years 100’s of children learned a little of
“Judaism” from Rena. She was particularly proud of her
work with special needs students.
Rena’s cancer finally put a stop to teaching early in
2013 and following her passing her family decided to
financially support the ‘Rena Adler Inclusion Fund’ which
commenced from her ‘Yarzeit’ in October 2014. The
income raised from this Fund will be used to extend the
education programs of the United Jewish Education Board
to children with special needs.
GEORGE KURAN
Mr George Kuran was born in Bialystock, Poland in 1920
and arrived in Australia thirty years later. A successful
businessman, George is most proud of his family, a wife
Lusia, sadly deceased, and two children. During the 1960s
George’s son attended UJEB at South Caulfield and
George was very involved in the shule and appreciative of
the education provided.
He planned to leave UJEB a bequest in his will. Recently,
George’s rabbi convinced him to give his donation to
UJEB “with a warm hand”, in other words, while he was
still alive. Were so grateful to have the chance to thank
George in person for his generous gift. Mazel-tov on your
decades of community involvement.

////AFTERSCHOOL CENTRES
AFTER SCHOOL
UJEB runs Jewish learning and Hebrew language
centres for primary school students at two different
locations after school.
Each centre’s curriculum provides a full Hebrew
language and Jewish studies program that covers
traditions, customs and festivals.
By attending our programs our students develop
a lifetime of knowledge and skills in a dynamic
educational environment which ensures their ability
to participate in Jewish communal life.
UJEB runs an integrated Jewish Studies and
Hebrew Program which includes Jewish festivals,
customs and beliefs, and incorporates Hebrew in
a meaningful way. Students study Jewish history,
Israel and contemporary Jewish and Israeli culture.
The Hebrew Program is aimed at giving children
the ability to read, speak and write Hebrew, and
develop their vocabulary to engage in basic
conversation. The program includes Hebrew
letter recognition, reading and writing as well as
preparing them to participate in important Jewish
festivals and rituals.
MERKAZ BENTLEIGH AFTERSCHOOL
Situated in the growth corridor of Bentleigh, where
the demand for UJEB’s services has doubled over
the last three years, MERKAZ BENTLEIGH is at
549 Centre Road Bentleigh.
Merkaz Bentleigh is supported by Gandel
Philanthropy.
The Rosh of Merkaz Bentleigh was Limor Peretz.

////NEW PROGRAMS
JED – JEWISH EDUCATION CLASSES FOR SECONDARY
STUDENTS
A Jewish Studies Centre for Years 7-10, started this year.
It takes place at the Glen Eira College Language Centre,
Booran Road Caulfield on a Wednesday from 4-5:30pm.
This exciting initiative is open to all Jewish Secondary
students of government and independent schools. The
principle aim of this landmark program is to provide
students with a Secondary Jewish Studies unit. This
course builds upon any prior learning and engages the
students with our rich heritage.
The UJEB Afterschool Program has a Spiral Curriculum
i. Year 1 - “Jewish Time” - understanding Judaism through
History, Yearly Cycle, Life Cycle Events
ii. Year 2 - “Jewish Text” - understanding Judaism through
Torah Stories, Jewish Heroes, Jewish people around the
world.
PARENTS AND FRIENDS
UJEB’s Parents & Friends group is a new initiative that
was developed to build on the services we provide for
children. The aim of this group is to build a committed
UJEB family who invest their time and energy into making
UJEB a leading educational and community-driven
organisation.
The committee was developed to help run events and hold
fundraisers. The first event was a Shavuot Party afternoon
tea party at Allnut park with a portable sukkah.
The plan is to have one festival each term and to have the
parents involvement with planning and running the events.
This will ensure commitment to UJEB and complete the
SRI program with celebrating Chaggim for family and
friends throughout the year.
Parents and friends of UJEB is supported by the Besen
Family Foundation.
JED is supported by The Pratt Foundation, the Werdiger
Family Foundation, and a private benefactor.

////BATMITZVAH PROGRAM
2014 saw the introduction of an exciting new
Batmitzvah program run by UJEB in conjunction
with the Jewish Museum of Australia and the
National Council of Jewish Women of Australia
(Vic). The girls learnt about and experienced social
action, Zionism, Torah, Jewish History and Culture,
and their own emerging identities as young Jewish
women. This program has proven to be different
from all others in the marketplace. We are the only
organisation specifically set up to cater to students
in government and independent schools. We know
that a Batmitzvah year is a major turning point in
a child’s Jewish identity. The girls have formed a
strong social bond and made some friendships that
will last for decades. This experience has equipped
girls to develop strongly rooted Jewish values, and
the confidence to take flight and enjoy their lives as
young adults.
The topics included in the program were:
SOCIAL ACTION
Students participated in Stand Up’s social justice
program for B’nei Mitzvah-aged students. During
the term students explored and addressed 21st
Century challenges such as poverty alleviation
and human rights. Students had an opportunity to
complete their own Action Projects and to regard
themselves as change makers for a better world.
ISRAEL & TORAH
Classes were held exploring our historic and
current connections to Israel. Highlights included
participation in communal Yom Ha’atzma’ut event
at Beth Weizmann. Girls also researched the
parashah that falls on their 12th birthday, and wrote
a d’var torah based on themes from it.
HISTORY & CULTURE
In Term Three the classes met at the Jewish
Museum of Australia, and focused on Jewish
history, art and culture. Highlights included an
exploration of the Australian Jewish story. The girls
also had the opportunity to complete a Jewish art
project with Artist in Residence Nikki Green. This
term culminated in a roots project investigating
the girls’ individual family stories of migration and
settlement.
JEWISH WOMEN
The final term at NCJWA (VIC) explored a wide
variety of influential roles that Jewish women have
undertaken throughout the ages. The participants
met with inspirational young Jewish women who
are active in making a difference in the Jewish and
broader community.
The program concluded with a moving ceremony
and afternoon tea where the girls shared what
they had learnt with family and friends in a joyous
celebration.
Thanks to Nom Orelovitz, our wonderful UJEB
Batmitzvah teacher, and her gifted partners: Ari
Rutman from Stand Up, Shira Appelboom from the
Jewish Museum of Australia and Frances Prince
from NCJWA (VIC).
The UJEB Batmitzvah program is supported by
the Phillip and Vivien Brass Charitable Foundation,

////SPECIAL RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION (FORMERLY RE)
UJEB has been running Religious Education since 1895.
In early May of 2014, UJEB supplied Special Religious
Instruction (SRI) to 1,300 students in 37 primary schools,
including two special schools. Our numbers had grown
at an average of 5.5% per annum each year of the last
decade.
In May of 2014, the Department of Education and Training,
who supervise UJEB and the other faith providers, began
an overhaul of the program.
They were concerned to crack down on reports of
prosletysing by some instructors, and on bribes of lollies
that were given as inducements for students to participate
in religious events outside school. Their policy update was
released as Ministerial Directive (MD) 141. Importantly for
UJEB, it included in its first draft in May a requirement for
parents to opt in to the program each year, and the ability
of Principals to decline to provide SRI if “not enough”
students opted in to it. After securing a meeting with the
Minister of Education Mr Martin Dixon MP, President Yossi
Goldfarb, Executive Director Marlo Newton and Board
member Jeremy Leibler presented the difficulties that
this presented to UJEB as a minority provider. Thanks
to their efforts, and those of local member for Caulfield
David Southwick MP, the language was changed in a
July version of MD141. The requirement for “enough”
students to opt in was dropped, but the requirement for
annual opt in remained. This led to widescale confusion
in July and August 2014, as parents were asked by their
school to “opt in” to SRI again for 2014. Some schools
communicated these changes more effectively than
others.
In addition, principals were reminded of their duty of care
and the requirement to have one of their own teachers in
every classroom where SRI ran. Principals who could not
comply with this could not run the program.
12
“The Department,” said President
Yossi Goldfarb in a press interview
at the time, “has claimed that
the policy sent to Principals
was developed to make sure
appropriate resources and
facilities were in place for SRI.
It didn’t mean that Principals could
simply stop the program, or use it
as a tool to do so.”
UJEB wrote to all of our SRI parents, explaining the
changes that occurred, and tried to assist parents to find
their school’s timetable and paperwork to opt in. The
variety in school response was instructive. Principals who
had been historically reluctant to run SRI were quick to
respond that “not enough” students had opted in and that
they did not need to run the program. When we responded
that the phrase “not enough” had been dropped from the
directive, they immediately wrote back saying “I cannot
provide appropriate duty of care for this program.”
In an interesting case study, parents of South Caulfield
Primary called for a meeting with us when their Principal
claimed that not enough students had opted in to run SRI.
We held a parent meeting, and a delegation of parents
asked to meet with the Department of Education, claiming
that the Principal had not given sufficient time to respond
to the opt in form and that she needed to be responsive to
her school community.
Following a meeting between the Principal and UJEB’s
Executive Director, we received a strong indication that
SRI would return to South Caulfield Primary in 2015.
We would like to thank all the parents who have written to
us with their concerns especially those who attended the
parent meeting and who have expressed their willingness
to become more involved with UJEB. In particular we
would like to thank Natalie Joffe, Tali Joffe, Leana Fink and
Andi Lentin who met with Carole Kelly, head of SRI in the
Department of Education.
Our deep thanks also to our local Member Mr. David
Southwick who supported us during our meeting with the
Minister Mr. Martin Dixon and who has worked hard on
this issue and helped us to achieve this great result.
HANS AND ROSI RUSKIN ANNUAL COMPETITION
The competition for Years 3 to 6 has been a UJEB staple
for three decades.
The students made a wrote an essay on one of the
following topics:
1. What does Israel mean to me?
2. My Jewish Superhero is ….
3. My favourite Jewish Holiday is …..
This year’s overall winner was Orly Golod with her piece
on What Israel means to me.
This outcome has indicated the way forward to deal
with this challenge to SRI. Parent commitment to the
program and a willingness to speak up to their Principal
and the Department of Education can help guarantee the
continued success of this weekly class.

////JEWISH STUDENT NETWORK (JSN)
JSN – ON THE ROAD IN 2014
JSN went flying into action at our four schools: Brighton
Secondary, Mckinnon Secondary, Bentleigh Secondary
and Glen Eira College.
The programs ranged from exploring the importance of
and connection to their own Jewish identity, to whether
factors of their personality and actions within their own
lives were related to identity. Other major programs
consisted of looking at the Chaggim throughout the
Hebrew calendar and having different perspectives on and
insights into how they are celebrated/commemorated with
multiple cultural observances.
A highlighted program for the students was looking at
the “trolley problem” where they needed to make a moral
decision on whether they would pull a lever attached to
a railroad line choosing to either save five lives or one.
This moral dilemma was both fun and engaging for the
students as it brought up topics of discussion based on
how we interact with other people and whether we have
a choice in the way we act around certain people. From
this it became an interpretation of whether in Jewish texts
it asks us to act a certain way and whether this Jewish
morality is embedded in us or something that we choose
to have or not have.
16
JSN ran two major celebrations this year at Glen
Eira College - Rosh Hashanah and Chanukah. For
the celebrations we had cake and food stalls and fun
activities and stations. One included a massive ring toss
competition with getting the hoola-hoop over the menorah
candle run by our leaders and some helpful volunteers
from youth movements. The best things about the days
were that they were open to the whole school allowing for
our festivities and culture to be shared and explored by all
students.
The highlight of the year was our Spring Camp shared
with UJEB which was a COMPLETE SUCCESS! The
madrichim worked very hard to produce top quality
programs which engaged all the kids with the theme of
being active in the community. The camp was a unique
opportunity for all the students to participate and meet
each other and build friendships for years to come and
to set up plenty of JSN camps down the track. It was
fantastic to see everyone so respectful to each other and
have a positive spirit for the whole of camp.
I would like to give a special thanks to our leaders; Zac
Blum, Naomi Cherny and Gaby Lefkovits, for being my
partners this year. We couldn’t have done all this without
you.
////UJEB AND JSN CAMP
Spring Camp was held from the 5th to the 7th of
September at Mount Morton camp site in Belgrave. For
the first time, UJEB (Primary) and JSN (Secondary)
camps were held at the same time, sharing the beautiful
Dandenongs campsite.
The common theme was community. Younger campers
learned what makes a Jewish community, and the older
students investigated the diversity of our community and
how they can find their place within it.
Rosh Zac Blum put together an amazing team of
madrichim, including the core JSN leaders, Beau Landes,
Naomi Cherny and Gaby Lefkovits.
A highlight was Shabbat dinner. The sumptuous food
was provided by UJEB regular Yirmi Michell, but the
ruach (spirit) was brought by the whole camp singing and
chanting for hours.
A flying fox adventure completed three days of awesome
fun.

////PREVIEW OF 2015 –
OUR 120TH BIRTHDAY
UJEB GOLDEN YEARS
If a Golden Anniversary is 50 years, what do we get for
120? UJEB was founded in May 1895, making it the oldest
continuously operating Jewish educational institution.
The reason we were founded remains our mission today,
to provide Jewish education for the Jewish students in
government schools. How we do that looks different in
each generation, but we feel a continuing responsibility to
provide for the students of our entire community.
Our first President was Sir Isaac Isaacs, and we were
initially funded by a levy on all members of the then three
Melbourne synagogues: Melbourne Hebrew Congregation,
East Melbourne and St Kilda.
In 1907 we had 80 students in Rathdowne St and 90
who came Sundays only. In addition we ran in Faraday
St, West Melb, Lithgow St, Lee Street, Sth Melb, and Sth
Yarra.
One of the services we performed consistently in the
1930s to 1960s was teaching Hebrew for Matriculation
and University entrance. In 1935, for example, we
had 15 students present for examinations. We are still
teaching Hebrew in both our afterschool programs, and
by supporting the Glen Eira Hebrew program in high
school. Rabbi Raymond Apple, Rabbi Emeritus of the
Great Synagogue in Sydney, was taught his Matriculation
Hebrew after hours at Melbourne High through UJEB.

We began our sleep-away camp in 1982, which is now an
annual fixture.
Noticing the dearth of post B’nei Mitzvah programs, the
Pratt Foundation helped us launch the Jewish Student
Network in 1991. By 1993 we were working in McKinnon,
Wesley, Melbourne High and Balwyn Secondary School.
Our first field worker was Lisa Farber. Today, we are still at
McKinnon, but also at Bentleigh, Brighton, Glen Eira and
Sandringham secondary colleges.
In this generation our challenges include a dispute over
religious instruction in schools, but our main concern
is that 40% of Jewish preps are in the government
school system. We want to be there for them, today and
tomorrow.
We are in the midst of collating a 120th book, including
archival material, and historic photos. We will also be
holding a Gala Dinner in October. If you were a UJEB
student or have any UJEB memorabilia, we are keen to
hear from you. If you are a UJEB graduate or past teacher,
give us a call on 9523 6844.
