Rabbi Noach Orlowek will be the guest speaker at a Chizuk
Hatorah Weekend on 28th-30th July sponsored by Kollel Beth
Hatalmud Yehudah Fishman Institute in Melbourne Australia.
The weekend will be held at the Cumberland Hotel in
picturesque Marysville in country Victoria.
The theme of the weekend is "Protecting Roses Amongst the
Thorns." Rabbi Orlowek will talk on themes such as raising a
mentsch in the 21st century, communicating within the
family, and the Ten Commandments of parenting.
Rabbi Noach Orlowek is a renowned educator and lecturer whose
books of Torah-based discipline in the classroom and home
have become classics. He is the author of the books My
Disciple My Child, and My Child My Disciple. He is
a member of the faculty of Yeshiva Torah Ohr in Yerushalayim.
He also teaches at other institutions across Israel,
including Aish Hatorah and many seminaries.
Rabbi Orlowek has lectured in many communities in South
Africa, Europe and the United States. He has an outstanding
reputation in the areas of education, sholom bayis and
parenting. Rabbi Orlowek will also be speaking to parents on
July 30th at 8p.m. at the Kollel Beth Hatalmud on the topic
"Is the Sky the Limit -- Setting Limits for Ourselves and
Children." He will also be speaking at The Adass-Gutnick hall
on July 31st at 8 p.m. on the topic, "Building Bridges to Our
Children." That function is hosted by Yad Yocheved, and
admission is $7.
A teachers' seminar will be held at Caulfield Shule hall on
July 27th and will be divided into two sessions in which two
topical educational issues will be discussed.
The first session is entitled "Yiras Shomayim: How to
get Students To Enjoy Their Learning And Davening
(prayer)." This topic is constantly on the mind of teachers
and heads of Jewish studies: how to ensure not only that
students will learn and pray, but that they will actually
enjoy it and continue doing so for the rest of their
lives.
The second session will be devoted to the topic: "How To
Maintain Discipline While Still Maintaining a Warm
Relationship." It is generally recognized that one of the
critical requirements for success in today's age in the
development of the Jewishness of a child is a warm
relationship with the teacher. However it becomes hard to
balance the discipline required in a classroom atmosphere
with the warm relationship that is also so necessary. A
question and answer session will follow with teachers able to
raise their own day-to-day concerns.
In Sydney Rabbi Orlowek will be a guest of the Chinuch
Foundation headed by Rabbi Michoel Gurarie and will be giving
shiurim and talks to the community on July 25th and
26th.
