Rabbi’s Column — Life, the Universe and
Talmud Study
As I told the class at the first session, it is fair to say that I never distinguished
myself in Talmud study while in rabbinical school. Twenty years ago, the
baroque arguments written in language so abbreviated as to be incomprehensible
tried my patience to the limit. I grudgingly completed 1½ years of Talmud study,
then quit.
All these years later, and the great Talmud scholar Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz has
given the English-speaking world a wonderful gift: the Talmud, translated into
English, with enough explanations added to make it readable. Fantastic! I
purchased the first volume Berakhot while in the U.S. last year and resolved to
have another go at studying Talmud.
The result was my Monday night Talmud study class, which met initially for four
weeks in October and November, and then continued on at the insistence of the
students. Our starting point was the laws governing the recitation of the Shema
and the blessings that surround it, but it soon became clear that the discussions
that sprang up could range to just about any subject imaginable. It seems that the
open-ended nature of Talmudic discourse, in which the rabbis themselves jump
effortlessly from one topic to another, inspired those in the class to ask questions
and pose challenges that otherwise might not be covered in any standard course
material. The class evolved into discussions on Life, the Universe and Talmud
Study.
Needless to say, it has been great fun, and I'm very happy that the class has
decided to continue starting again in February. Anyone is welcome to join us. A
love for rational thought is helpful, although not entirely necessary. An openness
to new ideas and new thinking is just about essential. Thanks to a decision at the
most recent meeting of the Beit Shalom Board of Management, there is no longer
a charge for members to attend the classes I teach. However, a gold coin donation
is most welcomed. I hope you'll consider diving in and joining us for this ongoing
adventure!

A Quote from
Nelson Mandela z”l
“I have walked that long road to
freedom. I have tried not to falter; I
have made missteps along the way.
But I have discovered the secret
that after climbing a great hill, one
only finds that there are many more
hills to climb.
I have taken a moment here to rest,
to steal a view of the glorious vista
that surrounds me, to look back on
the distance I have come. But I can
only rest for a moment, for with
freedom come responsibilities, and
I dare not linger, for my long walk
is not ended."

President’s Report ‫י ד ימ ה מ י וש ב ה ר אש‬
I’m often struck by the fact that our community is full
of overachievers. People who are national and
international leaders in their field, whether it be
academia, law, medicine or the business world. People
who change lives by leading community choirs,
advancing public health or teaching our next
generation. People who work for Tikkun Olam by
creating dialogue across cultural and religious
boundaries, welcoming newcomers or chairing the
committees that are the heartbeat of Jewish Adelaide.
In short, I think we are incredibly lucky, if not actually
disproportionately blessed with talent and passion.
Often we congratulate our overachievers on their
successes, and acknowledge them with awards to
cement those sentiments. Yet too often, I think, we
only do this for people with formal titles or after they
have a lifetime of achievement. Of course it is
important to recognise our Chair people and Presidents
and the amazing members who have kept our
synagogue and other organisations thriving for decades.
Yet it is also important to show how much we value our
rising stars whose dedication ensures Jewish Adelaide
will be thriving for decades to come.
One of our overachievers and life members of Beit
Shalom, Jack Gubbay, recently proposed the creation of
the “Adelaide Jewish Youth Achievement Award”.
Jack requested the Board create this annual award as a
unique way to formally recognise our young leaders
who channel their talent and passion into creating a
better community for other young people in Adelaide.
The award is not only a recognition of young people’s
achievements, but also the important role our young
leaders play in creating a sustainable and inclusive
community.
The award winner will be recognised as the Adelaide
Jewish Youth Achiever for the year and presented with
a $500 prize.

Get to Know our New Members—
Amy & Oliver Sierp & family
Beit Shalom is happy to introduce our recent new members—the Sierp family who have kindly consented to
sharing their story with us. This will also be enclosed in our Time Capsule to be opened in 50 years’ time when
the children will enjoy reading it and seeing the photos accompanying this brief family history.
We have recently become members of
Beit Shalom and we are excited about a
new chapter in our family’s Jewish life
in Adelaide.
Our family consists of myself, (Amy),
my husband, Oli, daughter Ruby (9)
and son Sasha (4). We have been
involved
in
Adelaide’s
Jewish
communities for many years but
recently saw that Beit Shalom would be
a great avenue for our children to meet
other Jewish children and become more
involved in the community.
We met Rabbi Shoshana five years ago
when Ruby attended Massada in it’s last
few years. Shoshana often taught the
kindy kids and I also worked with her
and my Dad, David Worth, on the
Massada board. After Massada sadly
closed we wanted to find some Cheder
classes for Ruby and soon Sasha too.
Ruby started attending Cheder and
JAZY in early 2013 and has been really
enjoying making new friends and
furthering her Jewish education.
Oli’s and my parents are in Adelaide
but our extended Jewish families are
scattered in Melbourne and Sydney
where we often travel for the Jewish
festivals.
L-R: Sasha Dov Sierp, Amy Amirah Sierp-Worth, Ruby Odem Sierp
& Oliver Sierp
In 1980 when I (Amy) was 7 years
old, I moved from Melbourne to
Adelaide with my parents, David
and Jenni Worth and my two sisters
Natalie and Kate.
Our family has been members of
the St Kilda Orthodox Synagogue
for 4 generations. My great
grandparents all migrated to
Melbourne from Europe and were
prominent in the rag trade.
When we came to Adelaide we
became members of AHC. The
Synagogue was in the city off
Rundle St and Rabbi Heilbrunn was
the Rabbi, or soon became the
Rabbi, I can’t remember. We lived in
the Adelaide hills and did not have
extended Jewish family in Adelaide.
We attended school in the hills and
would sometimes bus down after
school on a Friday to meet our dad
at Shule for the Shabbat service. My
sister Kate and I both did our Bat
mitzvahs at the Synagogue place
shule. We also attended Habonim at
Walkerville where Massada College
used to be.

The Passing of Nelson Mandela
We thank Professor Ghil’ad
Zuckermann (Chair of Linguistics
& Endangered Languages at the
University of Adelaide) for sharing
his reflections on his personal
encounter with Nelson Mandela:
4 December 2013 / 3 Tevet 5774
The World Union for Progressive
Judaism is deeply saddened by the
death of Nelson Mandela, a highly
regarded and much loved former
president of the Republic of South
Africa.
Nelson Mandela, having served 27
years in prison for his active
opposition to apartheid, rose to
become the first black president of
South Africa at a time of much
violence and division in his country.
President Mandela was able to unite
disparate groups who had fought
each other for decades. He was able
to prevent the bloodshed that had
been predicted once apartheid was
dismantled. His government set up
the Truth and Reconciliation
Commission which has been an
example to the world on dealing with
painful and bitter divisions within
society.
He has been one of the most admired
world leaders of our time and he has
been an example to all who aspire to
positions of leadership.
Nelson Mandela will be sadly
missed; the two million members of
the World Union for Progressive
Judaism joins with our South African
members to express our sorrow at his
passing
and
sends
sincere
condolences to his family and to the
people of South Africa.
Michael Grabiner, Chairman, WUPJ
& Dr Philip Bliss, WUPJ Advocacy
Committee Chair
I met Nelson Rolihlahla
MANDELA in Oxford England 16
years ago, in 1997. Before I talked
to him, he delivered a lecture at
Oxford's Sheldonian Theatre. His
host, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, then
Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the
United States, introduced Mandela
with the mediocre cliché: 'A man
who needs no introduction: Nelson
Mandela'.
(What do you mean no introduction?
There is always something new you
could say about any person. For
example, Mandela's first name
Rolihlahla, pronounced [xoˈliːɬaɬa],
is a Xhosa colloquialism meaning
'troublemaker'. And do you really
believe everybody at the Sheldonian
really knew much about Mandela's
biography?)
Mandela then came to the stage
furious, absolutely furious. “I am
extremely disappointed with you,
Prince Bandar!”, he said. The
audience was baffled, perplexed,
shocked. Is Mandela ok? Perhaps he
is too old and senile(?) Mandela then
recounted a lovely real story about
his recent visit to a remote village in
South Africa (as President of South
Africa, 1994-9). He was talking to
several local teenager girls and
enjoyed their company. After a
while his assistants interfered and
told him that he needed to continue
his trip. He said goodbye to the
lovely girls and was about to leave,
only to then be approached by one of
the girls, who asked him: “Excuse
me, Sir, it was nice talking to you.
But what's your name?”
Since then, I have introduced
hundreds of speakers and never used
the cliché “a man/woman who needs
no introduction.”
