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.
