Rosh Pinah make a big splash at school swimming gala
Rosh Pinah came away with a clean sweep of trophies at this year’s Maccabi Swimming Gala at Barnet Copthall Swimming Pool.
Eight primary schools from across the community – including Sinai, MMK, Kerem, Independent, Wolfson Hillel, HJPS and North West – took part in the event, with each school bringing a squad consisting of both boys and girls, aged between 8-11 years-old, totalling 150 participants who were supported by more than 150 parents.
Rosh Pinah had 19 pupils competing in the event, and for the first time in three years, won every trophy available on the day – the winning girl’s team, boy’s team and overall winning school title.
PE Co-Ordinators Mr Munro & Mr Goldin said: “We’re really proud of the effort and the behaviour of the pupils on the day. Each and every single one of them gave it their best. Some of our swimmers swim at clubs however, a large proportion of the swimmers have been trained through the school.
“To win one trophy would have been an achievement however to win all three was simply incredible and we are so proud of the team. We are so proud of our sport provision at Rosh Pinah after recently being award the Bronze School Games award. We look forward to continued sporting success at our school.”
Pupils pictured: Talia Rubin, Leah Osher, Zakira Levin, Aimee Benjamin, Joshua Soloway, Toby Kershaw, Daniel Lyons, Oscar Stevens, Ella Howard, Adam Rubin, Jess Charney, Georgia Garson, Davina David, Natalie Kaye, Danny Foreman, James Goorney, Libby Zrihen and James Singer.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
