COMMUNITY CENTER IN LENS OF TV CAMERA

Almaty 06.01.2008

In the Kazakhstan MASS-MEDIAS materials illuminating life of the national cultural centers periodically issues. On the central channel "Kazakhstan 1" each Thursday issues program "We are Kazakhstanians". One of the nearest programs will be devoted to Jewish Community Center. TV men went on Community centre, got acquainted with the members of a community, took a film, how children from Community Center meet Shabbat.

The girls lighted candle, the boys made blessing on bread and wine, ("wine" can be considered and grape juice), broke down challah. About Traditions of Shabbat told Olga Drobnokhod, and children helped her, having found out perfect knowledge of a history of a holiday. "The Jewish people began to celebrate Shabbat since the Jews received Torah and began to carry out commandments", - told Volodya Kozhuhov. Luba Mostovshikova explained, why Shabbat is celebrated in the seventh day of week and during a holiday break two challahs: "we imitate it to the Most High. He created the world during six days and on the seventh day had a rest. And two challahs are used in Shabbat meal, because during exodus from Egypt in Shabbat the Jews received a double portion of manna".

Children with pleasure sung some Shabbat songs.
