Avi Mayer’s whirlwind visit to South Africa, during which he addressed various communal groups, gave workshops and met with a range of lay and professional leaders concluded this week. We are extremely grateful to him for all his efforts, and for the undiminished enthusiasm and ready helpfulness that he displayed at all times. Everyone who engaged with Avi, in addition to benefiting from his insights (particularly regarding using the social media) and knowledge of developments in Israel and the Jewish world in general, was uplifted by his enthusiasm and sheer positivity that he brings to everything he does. Avi in so many ways reflects the dynamic, “can-do” positivity of Israel, which is seeing it accomplish so much despite the many formidable challenges that confront it. It was a real honour and pleasure for the Board to have hosted Avi and we already look forward to his next visit here.
