At once after Yom-Kippur the Jews begin to prepare for a holiday of tents. Basic commandment of Sukkoth - is to live this time in sukka. And main is that, sukka stood open-air.

The chief of the religious programs of Kostanay Hesed Vladimir Lyakhovetsky drew the sketch of a tent, prepared lumps of wood, tools and invited the assistants - guys from youth club Slava and Andrew Polivtsevs, and also volunteer Vladimir Semenkov. Together they made a basis of a tent also have prepared branches. We planned to conduct holiday on a coast of the river Tobol, in small, but very beautiful grove.

Weather was warm, and the mood at all was excellent. At twelve o'clock sharp to Hesed the large bus has came in. The adults and children with jokes cheerfully placed in its comfortable inside. The holiday began from excursion on city. We looked, how grows and blossoms native Kostanay, how many greens and flowers there are in city , visited in area of new buildings, examined old, memorable for many, districts of city.

In an hour the participants of the trip were on a coast of Tobol and got going. At first have covered a skeleton of a tent brought with self, branches. Then the guys Mark Zaborskiy, Katya Perekusikhina, Sasha Shestakov, Danil Zavilinsky decorated a tent with balloons, figures, fruits, and Olya Grigorova obtained an interview at present, to all set the main question: "What do you know about a holiday Sukkoth? Your attitude to a holiday?". The answers she wrote down in the notebook to write clause in a children's heading of Hesed wall newspaper.

And how well worked small Sergey Grigorov! He did really man's work - helped to collect little tables, on which put fruits and juices mothers Svetlana Shestakova, Olga Kuperman, Helena Zaborskih, Julia Medvedeva, Lubov Moskvitcheva. Worked all willingly, with pleasure. The Jewish music sounded. And the tent was ready! And then came time to listen to the story of Vladimir Lyakhovetsky about a history and Traditions of a holiday, about that power of the people is in unity.

The theme "Crop" was reflected in children's games, sketches, songs. The special delight was caused by the alive horse, and opportunity to ride it. Children did not fail to take advantage of a case, and after riding treated an animal with apples. As the best rider was recognized Anton Ivanov. For active participation in a holiday all children got sweet prizes. The adults danced and sang much. The time has flown quickly. It was time to come back home. The members of a community intimately thanked Hesed and each other for a holiday, wished health, good luck, and new meetings.
