The holiday Sukkoth came nearer, and the territory for construction of tents has not been found yet. In Community Center the telephone did not cease. All parks, sanatoriums, houses of rest were rung round. But for the different reasons did not develop.

Experienced in this occasion practically everybody and everyone tried though by something to help. And, literally one week prior to a holiday, the sanatorium Kargaly, (taking place in western part of city) was found, and as has appeared very successfully. Within the city, the cosy park territory contained all members of the Jewish community wishing to take part in a holiday (and there were about 200 men). The measure began from building of a tent from beforehand prepared branches which were here in a plenty.

Building of sukka, and in particular its decoration, pleased much the adults and, certainly, children working with especial enthusiasm. The Most High was favourable. Weather was as to order. Brightly, absolutely like in summer the sun shined, and was not trusted at all, that on the eve it was cold and damp as in autumn. The most part of warm things remained on bench (sun undressed everybody up to T-shirts).

Then, after a closing -up, everybody conveniently settled down on a variety platform. Lara Inger interestingly and substantially told about traditions and meaning of a holiday Sukkoth. It is pleasant to realize, that much from heard was familiar, it means traditions of the Jewish people really gradually become an informal part of life of each family of a community. But, as it is known, it is impossible to know everything, therefore some moments were heard for the first time. In the whole information was listened very attentively and with interest.

After that children of Community Center showed a concert, which was finished by a premiere. The theatrical children's studio (under the direction of Igor Gosrshkov) showed performance "There, where she was- there was a paradise" (about Adam and Eve). The case is that children already have acted with this performance in Karaganda, Astana and Taldykorgan, and Almatians saw it only on Sukkoth.

The applause of the spectators became the best estimation of work of the small actors. The large game program - is integral part of all holidays. In sport competitions, solving thematic quizzes, and just in mobile games reigned really celebratory fun, burst of positive emotions, pleasure, laughter, genuine empathy and support. This time there was a large variety of games, and everyone could participate and receive a lawful prize, that also promoted good mood.

To dinner for the participants of a holiday the entertainment waited. Construction of sukka, warm clear weather successfully picked up place well balanced program, forces enclosed in organization and realization of a holiday - are components, due to which the holiday became bright event in life of a community. The warmness of this holiday for long time more will warm our hearts.
