TO MY DEAR ALMATY PEOPLE

  Today a former Almaty citizen, a sculptor Sergey Lyalin presents his gift to Kazakhstani Jewry. A bust is delivered to the new director of "Rimon" JCC Alexandra Zykina in presence of community members.

  According to the President of "Mitsva" Association Alexandr Baron, the gift is going to be the basis of the future Museum of History of Kazakhstani Jewry.

  The bust is called "My grandfather". It is symbolical that the first exhibit is connected with the family, which is of special consideration in the Jewish Tradition. The gift coincides with a photo-exhibition "From the Family Album" currently prepared by "Mitsva" Association. Another symbolical fact is that today Sergey Lyalin is 50 years old.

  "I am glad that this very sculpture will remain in my favorite city, with the people who help the aged, needy, and children!" said Sergey.

  The meeting was prepared and conducted by the old friend of the Lyalins, the editor-in-chief of the Jewish newspaper "Davar" Ludmila Varshavskaya.
