2015 ANNUAL REVIEW
ABOUT THE MORIAH FOUNDATION
Since its establishment following the 2011 Capital Appeal,
The Moriah Foundation has continued to focus on the sustainability
of Moriah College and therefore the affordability of a Moriah education
to members of the community.
Giving our children a Jewish education,
and thereby a Jewish moral compass with a strong Jewish identity,
is central to our beliefs. Connecting our children to their Judaism and to Israel,
and teaching them to be advocates for Israel
is the key to Jewish continuity - now and well into the future.
The Moriah Foundation has begun to raise much-needed funds to pay off the purchase
of the Queens Park land as well as to address the issue of affordability.
The Foundation aspires to provide future generations of Moriah students
with the opportunity to benefit from the world-class secular and Jewish education
that Moriah College offers in state-of-the-art facilities.
The Foundation provides means-tested bursaries and financial assistance
to students whose family financial circumstances
would otherwise prevent them from attending the College,
and additional funding to enrich students’ Moriah education.
Three key strategic goals guide the activities of the Foundation:
• Fundraising
Through donations, gifts, legacies and bequests to The Moriah Foundation
that sustain the future of Moriah College.
• Friendraising
Through effective communication and service to the College community to attract,
build upon and retain the interest and support of past students, future, current and past parents,
families and friends within the Sydney Jewish community and beyond.
• Funds management
To manage invested funds to optimise long term growth and security.

THE MORIAH FOUNDATION
BURSARY PROGRAM
Moriah College is proud to be offering means-tested
bursaries in addition to academic scholarships.
Consistent with any private school education,
the cost of a Moriah education
is increasingly challenging for many families.
In 2013 the Moriah Foundation Bursary Program
was launched for families who find
the cost of a Moriah education beyond their reach.
By application, bursaries are offered to families
who are most in need. Bursaries provide families
with a fixed sum for a defined period
of their school education at Moriah,
such as the duration of a child’s Primary
or High School education, or from Year K to 12.
Thanks to the generosity of our donors,
in 2014 and 2015 twenty children received bursaries.
Bursaries awarded in 2014
• The Phil and Vivien Green Bursary
• The Gutman Family Bursary
in loving memory of Isaac Gutman
• The Lynton Levin Memorial Bursaries

2015 ANNUAL REVIEW
Dear Mr Hamey,
December 2015
It is the end of our first formal year of education at Moriah College how time has flown and what a wonderful year it has been.
As a bursary recipient I feel the need to write to you
and let you know about our year.
Abi* is one of those kids who is happy in all situations
and socialises and gets on with whoever she is with.
Her class has been filled with such special and wonderful students
that from the word go I could see Abi forging
long-lasting friendships.
She is invited on play dates constantly and the support I have received
from the other mums is incredible. Almost all the mums in the class
have had some stage or another during the year offered to have Abi
during school holidays, or taken her home from school
when I have had to work late.
I have truly felt part of a caring community.
Academically Abi has blossomed and has done so well.
Her reading is coming on in leaps and bounds and she now reads
to me each night. She is constantly reading road signs
and shop signs and is so happy with herself
when she confidently points things out to me.
She has embraced the Yiddishkeit in the school and I am sure
that Abi is the loudest voice when singing Hebrew songs
or reciting the Hebrew alphabet. This year my family chose
to put aside our regular Hagadah on Pesach and my Uncle and Abi,
using her Moriah Hagadah led us through the Pesach Seder.
It was truly special and Abi smiled from ear to ear the entire evening.
On Shabbat it is Abi leading the prayers confidently telling us
all what she learned in Jewish Studies that week.
Attending the Mitzvah Celebration only a few weeks ago,
I couldn’t help but sit with a lump in my throat
watching her receive her first Sabbath candle stick
and reflect on how fortunate she is to be offered
this incredible experience by being at a Jewish School.
I want you to know that I am grateful every day
for the privilege of Abi being a student at Moriah College.
I can only see her going from strength to strength as a student
and I hope that her teachers are getting as much from her
and she is getting from them.
*The name of the student
has been changed to respect
the privacy of the family.
I wish you and your staff a well-deserved summer break.
We look forward to returning in 2016.
- Abi’s mother
THE FUTURE IS OUR FOCUS
LANDMARK YEAR FOR THE BURSARY PROGRAM
During 2015 The Moriah Foundation was delighted to announce the launch
of The Romy Birnbaum Memorial Bursary Endowment Fund, through a major gift
of $1m from Beverley and Phil Birnbaum.
This newly established Fund shall award bursaries to our community’s
most needy families while preserving its capital base.
Other donors may contribute to the Fund and, where the gift is able to sustain
a bursary, elect to have a bursary named according to their wishes.

Bursaries to commence in 2016
• The Romy Birnbaum Memorial Bursaries
• The Mervyn and Lorraine Basserabie Bursaries
• In honour of Frank Lowy AC and Shirley Lowy OAM for their service to Israel,
Australia and the Jewish community
• In honour of Natie and Frances Kirsh for their charitable contributions to Israel and the
Jewish community
• In loving memory of Micky and Rose Bass and Sarah and Percy Friedlander who worked so
hard to give us an education
Page 5
2015 ANNUAL REVIEW
There is no greater Mitzvah than to give the gift of a Jewish education so it is critical
that we grow The Romy Birnbaum Memorial Bursary Endowment Fund.
The Romy Birnbaum Memorial Bursary Endowment Fund is in addition
to other major donors who are now supporting the education
of twenty (20) children at Moriah College
through the Foundation’s Bursary Program.
It is expected that through the community’s generosity, at least ten new bursaries
will be awarded for students to commence schooling in 2016.
Mervyn and Lorraine Basserabie have funded three of those bursaries.
THE PRINCIPAL’S TZEDAKAH FUND
Recognising that the children of families who are in financial difficulty can often miss out
on the full educational and co-curricular offering of a Moriah education,
The Principal’s Tzedakah Fund provides short term practical financial support
for items such as musical instruments, camp equipment and essentials, school lunch
vouchers, uniforms, psychologist sessions, tutoring, etc.
Funded with the support of anonymous donors, over $30,000 was granted in 2015
to children whose families needed extra assistance in addition to school fee assistance
already granted by the College.
SIMCHOT - IN LIEU OF GIFTS
We thank the following individuals for kindly asking their guests for donations,
in lieu of gifts, to support The Moriah Foundation Bursary Program during 2015.

IST
ISRAEL
STUDY
TOUR
2015 marked a significant milestone in the evolution of the
experiential six-week Israel Study Tour (IST) program.
Now in its 31st year, the IST program has grown from just 13 students
in 1984 to an unprecedented 102 Moriah College students
taking part in 2015, representing 80% of all students in Year 10.
The Moriah Foundation and our donors,
in partnership with Youth to Israel (Y2i),
have removed financial reasons as a barrier
to participation in the IST program.
Through the generosity of the Foundation’s donors and Y2i,
optional vouchers were offered to all families.
Those families who felt that they could meet the full cost
of the IST program were invited to not take the vouchers.
Families who found the cost of IST challenging
were invited to apply for an additional
means-tested subsidy or an interest free loan,
both of which were facilitated by The Moriah Foundation.
We were encouraged by the fact that 20% of families elected
to not take the vouchers on offer and paid the full cost of IST.
By doing so, and together with the Foundation’s donors,
they helped to supplement the support provided to families
who required additional assistance. We sincerely thank these families
for acting in the spirit in which the vouchers were offered.
We will continue to rely on this honour system,
whereby only those families who actually need the assistance
will take the vouchers, and those who don’t will be joining
our donors to participate in the mitzvah of helping others to go
on the journey of lifetime afforded to IST participants.
Thank you to the following donors and community partners
who supported the 2015 Israel Study Tour:

•

2015 ANNUAL REVIEW
‘.... I couldn’t stop looking and admiring the rich history that lay before me. We finally
arrived at the Old City of Jerusalem, and .... I was completely engulfed by its beauty.
‘As we walked down what felt like thousands of stairs down to The Kotel,
my heart was pounding, and my head was spinning. I heard the chatter of my friends,
and the anticipation was palpable. We lined up in front of The Kotel .... and Rabbi Benji
gave a moving D’var Torah of the essence of Jerusalem and Am Yisrael.
‘.....an overwhelming sense of awe sent shivers through my spine. I was here.
I was finally here. I honestly felt like I was staring at a photo, a postcard.
‘This was the very same place where our great ancestors stood. Where they came to give
sacrifices to Hashem.... where they came to honour Him...... I felt such an immense sense
of pride and gratitude to be standing there, and as we shouted ‘AM YISRAEL CHAI’ ......
I knew that I had definitely made the right decision to come on IST.’

Year 10 student and IST 2015 participant
THE FUTURE IS OUR FOCUS
EMBRACING INNOVATION
A complex, challenging, and evolving world awaits our students,
requiring them to be collaborative, agile,
curious and adaptive problem solvers.
To succeed, they must learn to critically engage with the world,
take risks, learn from failure, be flexible and self-directed,
and to creatively challenge conventional thinking.
The generosity of one of our donors
has been the catalyst for Moriah to embrace pervasive,
school-wide transformation in teaching and learning.
This will embody a spirit of innovation that sparks
the renewal of the Moriah learning community
and drives an evolution of world best teaching practice
across all stages of the curriculum.
Through the philanthropic support of The Moriah Foundation,
from 2016 the College will begin to champion
the transformation of classrooms
through clearly defined learning design principles.
Driven by the College Principal in partnership
with teaching staff in their classrooms,
the College will create an environment
where teachers engage in deep professional learning
about how to best prepare our students
for a world that requires them to be technologically sophisticated,
flexible and innovative.
This initiative will accelerate our vision
to build future generations of capable, adaptive, fluid and agile learners
who readily embrace the ongoing process of learning,
unlearning and relearning.

SUPPORTING THE ARTS
NEW INITIATIVES FOR
THE MUSIC PROGRAM
In 2015, The Moriah Foundation
commenced two new initiatives
to support the Moriah music program.
In partnership with the Music and Opera
Singers Trust, the Foundation established
The Nelly Apt Scholarship for Excellence in
Music.
The Scholarship is awarded annually
to a current student or former Collegian
who has demonstrated excellence
in their chosen instrument at their level.
The Scholar is invited to further their study
of music in The State of Israel.
The inaugural winner is Sarit Michael
(Class of 2011).
VISUAL ARTS AND DRAMA
Through the generosity of a number
of supporters of The Moriah Foundation,
opportunities were provided
to Moriah College students to advance
their studies and interests in visual arts and drama.
We thank the following for their in-kind
and financial support:
• Anonymous donors
• Michael Shur, Moira Blumenthal, and
the Shalom Institute
• The Breuer Family in memory of Eva Breuer
• Margaret Gutman OAM
• Bambi Blumberg, Gene Sherman, and
the Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation
While at the College, Sarit played the oboe
from Year 3 until Year 12
and in early years of High School,
she began to take an interest
in becoming a vocalist.
With support from her music teachers,
soon her voice became her instrument
of choice. In 2011, she travelled to the
USA and Israel with the Moriah Band Tour
as their first oboist and lead singer.
Sarit graduated from The University
of Sydney with a Bachelor of Arts, with
Majors in both Psychology and Music.
In November 2015, Sarit embarked
on a journey of music education
at the Rimon School of Jazz
and Contemporary Music in Ramat
Hasharon, Israel with long term goals
of gaining professionalism and insight
into the music industry and beyond.

2015 ANNUAL REVIEW
A legacy THAT EXTENDS FOR OVER 30 YEARS
For students who have demonstrated commitment to the music program
yet find the cost of Music Camp beyond the financial capacity of their family,
The Chaim Kopilovicius Memorial Awards for Moriah College Music Camp
provides direct funding support.
Chaim Kopilovicus (1892-1982) emigrated from Lithuania
to Australia via Shanghai in 1936 having established a handbag
and leather factory. He lived a very reclusive life
having never married nor having his own family.
In his last few years he was very unwell, with poor eyesight.
At the time of his death his signed Will could not be located
and the Public Trustee attempted to take ownership
of his Estate. Eventually his last Will was discovered
by tapping on the walls of his house, hidden in a secret panel.
Chaim Kopilovicius, in Lichtenburg SA, 1974
Thankfully, Chaim’s benevolence has extended to many in our community.
His home at 34 Ormond Street, Paddington later became known as Beit Chaim.
It was converted into a home for young Jewish adults with intellectual disabilities to live independently under the supervision of JewishCare, and has continued as a program
that provides flexible support for Jewish adults with a disability.
The Chaim Kopilovicus Memorial Scholarship was established in 1986 to financially assist
students attending Moriah College and Masada College and, to date,
more than 350 Jewish children have benefited.
In 2015, Chaim’s generosity extended to supporting two students attendance
at Moriah College Music Camp under the guidance
of the Music and Opera Singers Trust and The Moriah Foundation.
Today, Chaim’s great-great-nephew and great-great-neice, Matt and Chelsea Nurick,
participate in the Moriah College Music Program.
It is a remarkable testament to his generosity that thirty years after his passing, there are students in our community that continue to benefit from his 30-year legacy.
The Moriah Foundation invites members of the community to follow Chaim’s footsteps
and include a gift to Moriah in their Will, or to contribute directly to support either The
Chaim Kopilovicius Memorial Awards for Moriah College Music Camp or The Nelly Apt
Scholarship for Excellence in Music.
Please contact Joseph Herschel, the Foundation Director, on (02) 9375 1774
for a confidential discussion.

THE FUTURE IS OUR FOCUS
Grandparents are the footsteps to the future generations…
Grandchildren are the dots that connect the lines
from generation to generation.
J
One of the greatest joys in life for grandparents is to be involved in
the lives of their grandchildren.
In 2013, The Moriah Foundation established a Grandparents’ Club
to enable past and present grandparents of the College
or ‘surrogate grandparents’ to become more involved in College life.
Grandparents who live overseas or interstate are welcome to visit
the College whenever they are in Sydney.
K
From small beginnings, the Grandparents’ Club has grown
to more than 460 members - a 50% increase on the previous year.
Special events are held throughout the year - both on and off campus,
with speakers on areas of interest to our members.
