Republican
Jewish Library keeps conducting meetings in the literature club. This time the
subject of discussion was a famous magazine "Alef". In spite of the
hot day about 30 people gathered in Hesed "Polina" hall. The meeting
was prepared and conducted by Irena Krichevskaya, whose lectures always give
pleasure to visitors.
"Why did you advert to a periodical?" we asked
her.
"The
reading hall of the Almaty Republican Jewish Library is never empty,"
Irena said. "I like to be there and to watch people reading. Many of
our clients prefer newspapers and magazines to books. They look forward to new
numbers, reread them several times, and write out some notable lines. That is
why I decided to tell everybody about my favorite magazine "Alef"."
"Alef"
is an international monthly periodical. Its editors try to connect Jews from
all over the world. Everybody can find there information interesting for him
or her. "Come to us more often and feel at home!" the "Alef"
founders say in their foreword to the readers.
Unfortunately at present the Republican Jewish Library can receive
only 1 copy by subscription. That is why the filing is a real treasure. But
anyway we are thankful to G-d for giving us an opportunity to read
the things we like and want.
