 "Mazal
Tov" program and Almaty JCC organized Pesach Seder for "Zusammen"
program. Children and their parents from Alatau and Burunday villages were taken
to "Rimon" JCC on Hesed busses. They were welcomed with "Hag
Pesach Sameach!" and smiles.
The main task was to acquaint the quests with peculiarities of Pesach
celebration. That is why first of all they were told a little about the history
of Jewish people. Then the children and adults were shown a puppet show about
Moshe, the ten plagues, and exodus from Egypt.
After that the families learnt festive songs, and while the parents
were acquainted with JCC programs, children were offered to picture Pesach the
way they imagined it. They were so much absorbed in drawing that it was impossible
to tear them away for two hours.
Story of Pesach continued at the table. The families learnt how
to conduct the Seder service correctly. The head of Day Center Tatyana Risman
disguised as rabbi Levi Izhak asked the questions of the Seder leader, and the
families eagerly answered them.
 At
parting "Rimon" JCC, Hesed "Polina" and "Mitsva"
Association gave each participant a box of matzoh and wished to meet them again.
In spite of the long day nobody was tired. Both organizers and the guests were
excited and really happy!
We look forward to seeing the families from Alatau and Burunday
again!
