A Youth Seminar "Youth is ahead" was held on the past weekend
on the initiative of the Hesed "Rachel" and with a help of local
sponsor. For 2 days 10 children entered the world of the Jewish Tradition
in Chernoretsk village.
The aim of the seminar was to help young people to understand
the importance of their belonging to the community and nation. In accordance
with the saying "The Jews saved Saturday and Saturday saved them",
the children started the seminar from the Shabbat meeting.
The participants gathered at one holiday table. The candles
were lit up, sounded a blessing for wine and bread. The seminar was held
at ease. There were conducted the following trainings:"Cognite your
own world","The Role of youth in modern society", "Jewish
self-consciousness". The children also played football, volleyball,
bathed and went fishing. The seminar initiators hope that within several
days these girls and boys could learn and understand much as well as got
a good rest before a new school year.
