While waiting for a New Year coming, we say good bye to the old year, sum up the past and dream of a kind and good new year.

   Hesed "Faina" celebrated Rosh-Ha-Shannah in a regional Drama Theatre. The evening started from "Rosh-Ha-Shannah" song, performed by children's vocal group "Feigele".

   With great interest and attention did comers watch play about Rosh-ha-Shannah celebration traditions, staged by youth creative group of city community center. And, of course, spectators were very glad to hear new songs sang by "Zoar" youth vocal group and "Esther" ensemble.
