Recently "Haverim" family club of Karaganda JCC "Shemesh" went to a heath complex "Birch", which is situated in a picturesque place called "Bereznyaki".

   As there appeared a number of new families in the club, everybody gathered in a spare hall for acquaintance. Both children and their parents told about themselves with a captivation. Everybody had a fun.
The next day families were offered a program. After breakfast all of them went to a sporty gym were first was held a limbering-up and then Maccabiada. Parents and young generation played football and swam in a swimming pool.

   After dinner once again everybody gathered in an assembly hall. Aleksandr Abramovitch told about autumn holidays and word by word his speech turned into an interesting joint conversation. Children and adults set questions and Aleksandr answered them in details.

  Inna Kozhanovskaya conducted several trainings that helped family club members to understand deeper a question "What does it mean to be Jew and community member?". Time had passed almost imperceptively.

  Nobody wanted to go back to the city, but children had to go to school and adults - to work. It was a little bit sad that the trip came to its end so fast. Participants gained much energy, find a lot of new friends, and mainly they were convinced once more that community is a single big family.
