Hesed has presented a soiree devoted to the Virgin Land Action. Elderly
members of the community recollected about the time that they eagerly
came to Kazakhstan to cultivate its vast virgin lands. They remembered
the director of "Kievsky" state farm Gedaly Firenstein, who
was well known in the country. Unfortunately he passed away several years
before.
The first workers in the virgin lands were present at the
meeting: Emma Reznikova, Zinaida
and Mikhail Buras, a former head doctor of the regional children's hospital
Ekaterina Perepletchikova, distinguished builders Eugenie Galyan, Anatoly
Marder and many others.
Hesed staff took care of delicious meals. The youth also
came to congratulate the heroes of the occasion. They sang songs together,
danced to Jewish melodies, and participated in games. The festival was
a success; the community will remember it for a long time.
