At the end of the previous week all members of Astana Family club met Shabbat. 22 representatives of the club, including the smallest community members were listening to blessings to bread and vine, sang Saturday songs, and participated in contests on the Jewish holidays and Tradition, organized by JCC workers.

  It was pleasant to see all the comers - representatives of three generations- at one table, inspired with a common idea. And shining with joy, eyes of parents, who saw their children's interest towards Jewish history and Tradition.

   Teachers from the community center were also very glad to see children's success. Torah and Hebrew studies in literary and historical clubs were not in vain for children. Exactly children became main winners of contests, held during Shabbat!

  By the way, the youngest participant of Family club recently celebrated its 3rd birthday, and the eldest - its 80th birthday.
