During one month, on Kabbalat Shabbat the chief of the religious programs Vladimir Lyakhovetzky in detail told about commandments of Passover. A lot of additional material was used in these lectures. Volunteers read pages from Hagada - about the order of realization of Seder.
 In musical club learnt traditional songs "Dayenu", "Ma nishtana ", " Simkha raba ". The creation group has ratified the script of a holiday Passover, volunteers have informed on the phone each family about date of realization of a holiday and have invited all on Community Seder.
Many visitors, not Jews, were present on a holiday. There were regional TV, journalists of the newspaper "Kostanay News ", journalists of the newspaper "Kazakh tili ". The visitors were met by the guys from Youth club: followed to their places, answered questions of the journalists.
