HOLIDAY, HOLIDAY, HOLIDAY!

Kokshetau 04.10.04

  "That's great!" smiled women of our Hesed, having finished laying sweet table and having seen sukkah, built by both children and adults on the shore of Zerendinsk lake. We created the hut in 40 minutes.

   Holiday table was full of fruits and sweets. Vladimir Marufenin, a religious program coordinator told the history of Harvest holiday. It was pleasant that major comer shared their knowledge about Sukkoth.


   After blessings were read, community members started to dance to the accompaniment of favorite Jewish melodies. The further, the more interesting. Zinaida Lisnevskaya, "Etgar" children's program coordinator together with youth club held several merry contests. The children participated in those contests got wonderful prizes. So, nobody was dull.

   Though the day before our trip out of the city we were afraid of raining weather. But that was a wonderful autumn day and warm sun was right above our sukkah.

Let sun shines above the Jewish nation forever!!!
