The Jewish community of Karaganda celebrated birthday of the Jewish people - Pesach. Due to the help of the Euroasian Jewish Congress and the Association of the Jewish national organizations of RK "Mitsva" we beforehand got 400 kgs Kosher Matza. But, this year, as against the previous years, this amount on all wishing sufficed, that refers to as, "tight".

April 8 about 100 members of the Jewish community came in cafe "Nostalgy" on community passover holiday organized by JCC "Shamash". On tables there were traditional passover entertainments: Matza, karpas, maror, haroset. Conducted evening Irina Revenko the coordinator of the club programs. The coordinator of the program "Jewish tradition" Alexandr Abramovitch told to the participants of a holiday about Traditions of Pesach and in details acquainted with rules of realization of Pesach Seder.

The custom to carry out community Passover holiday, arisen in 90 years in CIS, already has received "the rights of citizenship". One of the purposes of such measure - is to acquaint all wishing with rules of realization of Passover Seder, and directly in practice, as was executed. A community have congratulated the director of Hesed Bella Kamenetskaya, coordinator of agency "Sokhnut" Alla Savostyanenko, director of JCC "Shamash" Irina Kozhanovskaya. The holiday was continued by vocal group of JCC "Shamash", performed some traditional songs in Hebrew and Yiddish. But apogee the holiday has reached, when a microphone has taken in hands the soloist of Karaganda philarmonic society Emma Kichikyan.
