The gifts are prepared, Community Center is decorated, the candles, grape juice and hala are ready for meeting of Saturday. A celebratory atmosphere. Loud laughter and greetings of children come in Hesed on Kabbalat Shabbat and Holiday of the Schoolchild. Pleasure from meeting with the friends which were leaving on a vacation. Children's voices, in interruption telling, how the summer passed. Before to light candles and to read prays we let children to enjoy the moment - to have a good long talk.

Later we with the guys arranged the discussion on a theme "School and education in our life". Everyone stated his opinion concerning, as far as it is necessary to raise the intelligence and erudition. We had a lesson in informal conditions. After common discussion the guys had divided into 2 groups, and each one received the task to make a crossword on a theme of school. It was cheerful and noisy, especially when children solved the task.

Well and how without games? The guys so got up to mischief that we begun to fear for walls and ceiling of Hesed. And how many happiness brought to children fruits, sweetness, pie and main, gift packages with school accessories! Children are sincerely pleased and for eraser, and pen case, and albums for drawing. And first-formers got their gifts. This year they were: Liana Peshkina, Polina Golovina and Arthur Mihyalov. We congratulate them with all our heart and we wish successes in study!

We would like to thank for the help our volunteer - photographer Helena Levina, which already almost year helps us to immortalize on snapshots our community life.
