IN EXPECTATION OF PESACH

Astana 16.04.2008

On the last meeting of our woman club ladies much tell about the traditions and the Seder of this seven days holiday.

Mira Kocherygina read unpublished story of Shalom-Aleihem "4 questions" - distinctive variations of those same 4 questions which children ask during the Pesach to their parents "Ma nishtana". Everyone knows the meaning of those questions, when child, having found differences between usual and seder night, asks father: "By what this night differs from the others?"

In the story four questions were also asked by the child to father, but it were questions which worried him present. For example: "Father, why when Ivan comes, he comes in house at once, he tells something cheerfully and loudly so we falling off laughing. And when rabbi Yankele comes, he comes in thought back door and long wiping his feet on doormat, feels shy to come in house at once, worrying that he will disturb somebody of us?"

We liked this philosophic story. And then we saw the concert of famous talented and infinite loved art-group Turetski's Chorus at the Kremlin, 2007 year. Victoria Boiko, new member of Woman’s club of Astana, brought this video, and we took delight from performance - arias, songs, potpourri on different theme. Some people even stayed too long at Hesed in order to take more delight from executable music.

Next meeting we will devote to Victor Shenderovich.
