Probably, on measures of the state, the event is insignificant. Though how to look. The young people develop the projects warming up their soul, because they are sure if to try it is possible to embody them in business. They, undoubtedly, will respond by the boonand not only for the people of our community - the president of "Mitsva" Association Alexandr Baron expressed the point of view. Also, the heads of the Jewish organizations came to the conclusion, that they should more seriously approach to a problem of strengthening "of horizontal communications" inside communities of Kazakhstan. Due to the given strategy of work, it will be possible successfully to adopt experience of the neighbors. Certainly, the local features, somehow or other, have an effect for organization of life of communities. Somewhere, probably, businesses with financing are better, but there are no interesting fresh ideas and projects. Somewhere, on the contrary, there are many plans,but the means constrain. In communication, dialogue, cooperation, including other national-cultural centers, the Jewish organizations of Kazakhstan, proceeding from lived years, mistakes, successes and achievements, should find the way to welfare of the Jewish community of Kazakhstan.
