The art of ceramics during millenniums was connected to the way of life of the Jewish people. One of the names of ground of Israel sounds as "Adama" ("Red clay"). And in Community Center "Rimon", two years, the circle of ceramics under the direction of Irina Berseneva works.

This circle one of most favourite by children. And both three-years old kids and 13-year's teenagers mould from clay with identical pleasure. The works of young ceramists differ by imagination, are complete of a children's spontaneity and humour. Warmly of clay multiplied on heat of soul gives surprising results. Each product is unique. The works of the guys decorate practically all holidays of a community. And to not so long past Day of a Victory, children from JCC prepared in a gift to the veterans more than 60 souvenirs as Hamsa, made from clay.

Very much it would be desirable to finish this story about the small foremen also optimistically. If not one large problem… Absence of own muffle furnace for baking of ceramic products. Without this furnace the circle can not guess the future. All that is moulded by children, but is not burnt in the furnace, already after one week begins to break up to a part. May be you, dear reader, has an opportunity and desire by something to help a circle of ceramics? We shall be glad both for kind wishes, and sponsor's help!
