DARKENU PARSHAT TERUMAH
“DARKENU” – The Yeshiva Way!
“Children on The Holy Ark”???
Are we seeing things???
In the very Holy of Holies – Sanctum sanctorium – you would expect to find a Torah and Luchot certainly, since
after all, the entire Mikdash is reminiscent of Sinai and thus at its epicenter, you should find the Torah.
Perhaps a little more surprising is to find – in the place where only the High Priest – Kohen Gadol – can go alone
only on the holiest day of the year – almost in his capacity and a pure messenger – a “malach” of sorts and not a
human; - nevertheless you would probably first see the form of ‘people’ – even higher than the Torah and the
Aron: the Keruvim – cherubs.
In the Holy of Holies you find people – “keruvim” – with the faces of childlike innocence. It almost seems that the
epicenter of the entire edifice is raising children!
This also suggests that human relations are not just expedient or etiquette, rather they are holy – Holy of Holies.
The keruvim face towards each other. They are indeed of one piece hammered out, not of separate attached
pieces. They have wings lifted high because a man must be spreading his wings to raise himself close to
Hashem. But he must be looking towards his brother with a feeling of belonging and relatedness. Their place of
meeting must be in the Kodesh Hakodashim, on the basis of Torah and in fact ‘at one’ with the holy Torah.
Incidentally, the Yerushalmi teaches that the Holy Ark is called “Aron” because of the word “Or” – for all “light”
illuminates from there.
Indeed the Cherubic childlike faces must impart many more insights into chinuch and children. Essentially it even
speaks to adults. We need to capture and retain something of the childish innocence and reliance – on Hashem.
This spirit can be contained if we affix our place and the place of our children in the Batei Midrash – part of the
‘furniture’ of the most holy.

So what happened this week?
Seattle Coffee (especially Kosher) Shares went

We were privileged to have a short Dvar Torah from Rav Feldman who has been a friend of the South
African Jewish Community visiting us on behalf of Ger for 50 years according to the Rosh Yeshiva (who
has been a good friend of the Rav over that period)!!!
But all of this came on the tail end of an awesome Grade 7 & Matric Shabbaton, so before I hand over to
Akiva Carr, Lior Ronthal & Chana Falkson for their reports, a huge shkoyach to the YiD team, our Rebe’im,
guest madrichim, Kidwell &co. Matrics & Grade 7’s for an awesome Shabbaton!!!
Back to prep for R-C-A…
Shabbat Sha-lom & Rosh Chodesh Adar  (sameach!),

SHABBATON
After much hype, anticipation and preparation, the first Shabbaton of the year, Grade 7/12 Shabbaton,
finally arrived last week, and it did not disappoint! On Friday morning the Grade 7 boys headed to Camp
Nelu in Hekpoort, along with the Matrics, Dan and our giant Cameroonian security guard (and as it would
turn out, extra madrich) Silas. I greeted the boys on arrival as they streamed off the bus, eager to find their
rooms and “get the party started”. After we went through rules, introduced them to the Camp Nelu
facilitators, to Cupcake, Coal, Chix and , we divided the boys into rooms and let them settle in before our
first set of activities, Jacob’s Ladder, an exercise in teamwork as two partners helped each other climb a
giant ladder, and Ziplining. After this the boys headed in for a Tochnit where they discussed the power of
music with their madrichim. After lunch and another round of activities it was time for some much needed
free time! During free time Ory Smadja arrived along with our special guests Rav Alon Friedman and his
family, and Rosh Machaneh 2015, Aharon Chemel!
20 February – 1 Adar

We brought in Shabbat with a powerful outdoor Kabbalat Shabbat before moving back inside for Maariv
and, of course, supper. After a wonderful meal prepared by our famous chef, Kidwell, we took a short
break before gathering around the stage for the
highlight of any Shabbaton: Shtick. Our Rosh Shtick for
the weekend, Lior Ronthal and his charges left all of us
rolling over with fantastic imitations and great skits. We
ended off our first night with a Tisch, run by our matrics
and Rav Alon, before sending everybody to bed to get
some well-deserved rest.
On Shabbat morning our wake up was made somewhat
easier for the team by Silas, who took it upon himself to
ensure that our boys not only wake up on time but also
make their beds! We all headed into shul for Shacharit
followed by a brocha and mussaf, a parsha shiur by Rav
Friedman and lunch. After lunch, it was time for
“Shabbat Menucha” during which the boys played soccer and volleyball, chilled, caught up on sleep and
learned with their Madrichim. We then divided into groups for the Shabbat Revolution, a series of short
discussion groups with their madrichim on topics ranging from Demons from a Torah Perspective to
Lessons from the Letter of the Ramban. Following the Shabbat Revolution, Ory Smadja and “Chemel” led
us in a moving Seudat Shlishit, leaving everyone spellbound with their powerful stories.
As Shabbat drew to a close we formed a circle and
the Matrics recited a musical Havdala. Following
Maariv, the boys were sent on their next activity:
Night Orienteering. As a group, they made their way
throughout the dark and were faced with a series of
challenges that they had to complete. After a short
night swim, the boys brought their sleeping bags into
the hall for Cinema Yid, where we watched The
Secret Life of Walter Mitty, cokes and popcorn
included! The end of the movie came and it was time
for the madrichim to guide their sleepy channies
back to their rooms for bed time.
Our final day arrived way too fast, but we certainly made the most of it!
After Shacharit and breakfast we began to prepare for our closing
Tochnit, True Colours, and the boys were greeted by a surprise guest:
None other than our MD Rav Leron!! We then ran the tochnit, focusing
on Tocho K’Boro, the idea of your outer-self being a reflection of your
inner-self, which was the theme of our Shabbaton.
Our final activities before pack up were the long awaited Archery and
Wall Climbing, which were so popular that even our medic had to try!
20 February – 1 Adar

Eventually, the time to leave had to come, but not before a powerful sum up and a chance to literally
“cement” our presence at Camp Nelu by carving the name of the school and the year in their line of
concrete plaques!
We arrived safely back at school on Sunday afternoon, and by the tired smiles on everybody’s faces it’s
safe to say it was an incredible Shabbaton, but bed time on Sunday was going to come early!
Until next time,
Akiva Carr
This past weekend from the 13 to the 15 the grade seven boys and the matrics of Yeshiva College went on
a shabbaton to Hekpoort that Yid had organized for us. Over the course of the three day shabbaton we
had davening, free time and three awesome and really cool activities. The first activity was called Jacobs
Ladder, which was a huge ladder that you had to climb with a partner. You only got far if you worked as a
team with your partner, this taught us to work together.
Activity two was a huge zipline, that filled all the boys with
fear and excitement.
Activity three was night orientating where there were a few
groups of boys split about seven or eight in each group.
Each group went out at a different time and were lead to a
certain place in the bush. Everyone had to appoint a
leader or Two. We had to work together otherwise we
were not going to get back. Eventually when everyone got
back from what seemed a dangerous but exciting activity
everyone was glad they made it.
We had a great time thanks to all our madrichim and YID.

COUNSELLORS’ CORNER
4 Steps to Managing Your Child’s Screen Time
by Sara Bean, M.Ed.
Is it just me or does it seem like children have lost their playfulness? Many of us can recall summer days spent
playing games outside with friends, riding bikes, playing hopscotch, or making forts in the woods. Now, though, it
seems that most kids prefer to lead a wired existence, constantly connected to some electronic device. Many
parents are exasperated by their child’s constant technology use and the degree to which tablets, TVs, video
games, laptops and smart phones have taken over their household. I once talked to a desperate mother whose
child was sending upwards of 20,000 texts per month (No that is not a typo.) Like this mom, many parents who we
hear from are fed up and looking to take back control. Here are 4 steps you can take to manage or limit your
child’s use of technology so that it works for you and your family.
Step 1: Know the Risks that Come with Screen Time
You’ve probably asked yourself, “How much screen time is too much?” There really is no formula to determine
this. When deciding what is appropriate and in what quantities, consider the potential risks as well as your child’s
ability to recognize and avoid dangerous situations.
One issue that stands out to me as a school counselor is the impact screen time has on the development of social
skills. This is one of those “chicken or egg” questions: do children who lack adequate social skills gravitate toward
technology as a source of social connection? Or do children who spend a lot of time in front of a screen either lose
or fail to develop adequate social skills? While spending a lot of time in front of a screen could potentially be linked
to poor social skills, it’s not always the case. Games and technology in general can be very rewarding—kids can
interact and quickly get positive feedback from peers online, from other players in live games, or from scoring
points in the game. But if your child has trouble fitting in and getting along with peers, it might indicate that he
needs more face-to-face social interactions or some coaching on how to better connect with others from either you
or a counselor.
Another pitfall of children being surrounded by technology is that it can expose them to predators, inappropriate
images, stories, or other content, even when they are not looking for it. Furthermore, children often do not have
the critical thinking skills to determine what is real and what is not, which makes them that much more vulnerable
to hoaxes, scams, and the lure of influential internet figures, real or fictional.
Along with possible exposure to inappropriate content comes the risk of your child overexposing him or herself.
For example, sharing too much information about where they live, where they go to school, or sharing revealing
photos of themselves with others. Children and teens often have a difficult time seeing the potential harm in this
and find it hard to believe that others would target or hurt them. They feel invincible, thinking “that will never
happen to me.”
Step 2: Know Your Goals So You Can Set Rules
Your child’s screen time and use of technology should match up with your goals as a parent. Consider the
following:
20 February – 1 Adar
9
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
As James Lehman says if you think of your family as a factory, what kind of product do you want to create?
How can you use or limit screen time to create that product?
What types of technology do you want to allow into your home?
How much time do you think is reasonable for your child to use technology each day?
Where will your child be allowed to use these devices?
Are certain times of day off limits for technology use?
What types of content you will allow your child to view or interact with?
Whatever rules you establish, be sure that they are communicated clearly and enforced consistently. To assess
whether your limits are working, ask yourself these questions:
1.
2.
3.
4.
What will we see if the screen time rules are working?
What will we do if they are working?
What will we see if the screen time rules are not working?
What will we do if they are not working?
We also recommend that you talk with your child ahead of time to plan for how he will handle himself if he doesn’t
get to play when or as long as he wants.
Step 3: Decide What Comes Before Screen Time
When deciding how to approach screen time in your home and how to best use it to your advantage, weigh these
factors:
1.
The maturity level of your child: Before authorizing more screen time, consider your child’s maturity
level. Ideally, as your child ages, he or she will be able to have more and more autonomy to self-manage.
However, this is not always the case. If your teen is very immature, irresponsible, or struggles with selfdiscipline, more limits might be appropriate. The bottom line is that you know your child best and what he
or she is capable of handling. Gradually add more freedom as children become better able to self-manage.
2.
Your priorities and values: What do you want your child to learn in life? What are your values as a
family? For example, if you really value family time together, then build that into your daily routine before
any screen time can occur. Priorities are just that—they come first, before other things like screen time.
3.
Your child’s responsibilities in the home: Most parents believe that their child should help out around
the house in some way. For example, a child as young as 4 might be expected to put his or her own toys
back in a specific place when done, whereas teens might have multiple, more complex chores like
vacuuming the house or cleaning the bathroom. Any responsibilities your child has should also come
before screen time.
Let your child know exactly what needs to be done each day in order to earn the privilege of screen time. Once
they’ve checked everything off the list, screen time is earned. For example, you might decide that your child needs
to make her bed, play outside or with a friend for at least an hour, do something creative for one hour, spend time
in a planned family activity like a picnic or trip to the pool, and then once all of that is done, screen time is an
option. In this example, priorities (family time, creativity, and healthy/social play) as well as responsibilities (making
the bed, unloading the dishwasher) must be checked off the list before screen time is available. The final reward of
the screen time can help to motivate your child to accomplish some more productive goals in the course of a day.
I completely understand that it’s not easy to do this in some cases. If you have a child who resists your rules and
boundaries at all costs and seems to constantly find ways around your consequences, then read on for some tips
on how to regain some control of the many devices and gadgets at your child’s disposal.
Step 4: Know Your Options and Use Them
As a parent, you are in control of the technology in your home, even if you don’t feel like you are. But first, let me
say that it’s never effective to get into a physical power struggle, a literal tug-of-war over an electronic device (or
20 February – 1 Adar
10
anything for that matter!). If your child hides his device, sneaks time on it in the middle of the night, or simply
refuses to hand it over, here’s what you can do.
Passcodes and passwords: Many devices can be set to require a password or numeric code in order to allow
access. You can even set some devices to completely erase themselves after 10 failed log-in attempts, which may
deter your child from trying to guess the code. Steer clear of familiar numbers such as phone numbers, dates of
birth, or other number combinations or words your child might guess. Newer devices that have fingerprint
scanners often use numeric codes as backup, so make sure your code is iron clad and never share it with your
child.
Parental controls: Video game consoles come equipped with parental controls built in via the system menu.
Using these controls allows you to restrict internet access, purchasing ability and games with restricted ratings.
Some devices can even be set to shut themselves down for the day after they have been powered on for a certain
amount of time.
Guided access: This is especially helpful for younger or less savvy children and is available on some tablets such
as the iPad. It allows parents to easily turn the guided access function off and on by touching the home button a
certain number of times and entering the passcode. Parents can restrict their child’s use to a specific app, and
they can even circle parts of the screen they don’t want their child to have access to during use.
Facebook privacy/security settings: Facebook’s security and privacy settings can prevent your child from
showing up in public search results, prevent people from posting on his or her page, restrict who can send friend
requests, and much more. My suggestion is to get your own account and play around with the settings and help
menus. This way you can see what settings work best for your child’s account.
Cellular services: I discovered that my cell phone provider allows me to suspend and reinstate service just by
logging into my account and clicking a couple of buttons. Cellular providers also offer affordable monthly apps and
subscriptions that enable you to track and limit your child’s usage, activity, and contacts.
Disabling the device: Your child won’t hand over the game controller? No problem. When you have the
opportunity to do so without a confrontation, you might find it useful to remove the power cord, the cable cord, or
disable your wireless router. With my cable service, I have a hub that controls everything, and if I unplug the hub,
all services are kaput.
Don’t be afraid to seek help. Contact your cellular providers or the manufacturer of the device in question. A lack
of knowledge is no excuse to be lax with technology limits. In our ever-changing and increasingly technological
world the demand for parents to stay informed is more critical than ever.

Dear Parents
There are few moments as beautiful as the sound of children’s voices raised
in song. As one walks through the Pre-Primary School, from Playschool
through to Grade R, young voices singing the special songs of Purim can be heard. Purim artwork adorns
the walls and knowledge of this lovely chag is being taught and gained.
Purim falls on Thursday 5 March/14 Adar and will be celebrated at school with an exciting programme.
Further details will follow.
On Monday, I attended, together with staff members from other departments, a talk on protective
behaviours for children. We were one of nineteen schools represented and it was most informative.
On Monday and Tuesday, Morah Jenny Dredzen and Morah Andi Cohen attended an iPad summit
respectively. With international speakers and superb content, much knowledge was gained, the benefits of
which will be passed on to the children.
