The small hall of "Rimon" JCC has hospitably accepted
more than 50 people. It is significant that many young people came to
the meeting. Boys and girls were eagerly arguing with their famous opponent.
That was the way the meeting with the writer Dmitry Shchiglik began. It
was the continuation of the virtual meeting arranged by "Mitsva"
Association in July 2003. That video Internet conference devoted to Dmitry
Shchiglik's book "Way to Zion" was the first one in the history
of the Russian Jewry.
Shchiglik's
firm viewpoint on the Jewry problems met the audience's response. The
participants of the meeting received clear and irrefragable answers to
their questions. Everybody agreed with Shchiglik's opinion, that "if
each of us doesn't work daily and permanently, Israel will have difficult
itme".
A
delegate of the First Conference of the World Congress of Russian Jewry,
a writer, and a candidate of science, Dmitry Shchiglik is a person waited
by everybody. By his friends, associates, and even opponents. They wait
for him to continue the dispute, to express their disagreement, or simply
to ask for an autograph. They wait for him in Israel, Canada, Australia
and Kazakhstan. They wait for him because he is a born orator, a witty,
and well-informed person.
"The
President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev perfectly understands the
problems of the modern world." Shchiglik says. "It is
proved by the Congress of World and Traditional National Religions held
in Astana last week. His initiative can help the humanity!"
The
meeting in Almaty became a fascinating continuation of the acquaintance
via Internet. But as usual the answers to the topical issues aroused new
questions. That is why the new Internet meeting with Dmitry Shchiglik
is going to be held in several months.
