For some, hearing the shofar is a powerful connection to memories, family and a lifetime of Jewish tradition and a reminder that they remain very much a part of our community.

Through Project Kavod, COA helps bring the chagim to Jewish residents living in non-denominational nursing homes, making sure they continue to feel connected to their Jewish community and traditions. 💙

For Yom Kippur, we brought the sounds, spirit and traditions of the chag directly to residents, including a special shofar blowing by Zev from Chabad of Bondi.

Wishing everyone a meaningful Yom Kippur and an easy fast.

G’mar Chatima Tova.

Turn your sound ON 🔊 and enjoy the tapping, scrunching, slicing and sweet sounds of Rosh Hashanah - ASMR style!

For those wondering, ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response – those oddly satisfying sounds that can be strangely relaxing to listen to.

Shana Tova from COA! 🍎🍯

In honour of Marika ❤️

This year’s COA Bridge Tournament held a very special meaning as we remembered our much-loved volunteer and accomplished bridge player, Marika Pogany, who tragically lost her life on December 14.

In her honour, the Marika Pogany Memorial Trophy will now be awarded each year to a bridge player who reflects the wonderful qualities Marika brought to the game and to our community.

It was especially meaningful that the inaugural trophy was awarded to Agi Sterling, Marika’s close friend and regular bridge partner.

A beautiful way to remember Marika and the lasting impact she had on so many. May her memory be a blessing. ❤️
