The autumn has already come into its own from day to day it becomes colder and colder. But the nature does not surrender - even better of former smell sweet perfect fall flowers, pleasing our looks. Migrant birds leave us, departing to warm edges. And we are pleased to sun, which not as before, but all the same, warms us and in autumn. At the farmers all works are completed and the Holiday of the harvesting begins. At the Jews begins Sukkoth.

Met this holiday Taraz inhabitants twice. At first in Hesed gathered the club "Mishpaha". Alla Koroleva told about the existing ancient Jewish legend: in a holiday Rosh-ha-Shana G-d opens Gates of heaven for human prays and decides, what destiny expects each of us in coming year. We, people, should do kind businesses to decline the Most High to a good choice.

The director of Hesed Helena Dmitriyeva conducted conversation "About four kinds of plants" - symbolizing different types of people, which are met among the Jews.

In Sukkoth we leave our houses, we live in tents - in memory that during wanderings on desert after exodus from Egypt Sons of Israel during forty years lived in tents.

And on weekend the club "Mishpaha" went out of city, on a bosom of a nature.

Duty of each Jew in Sukkoth to participate in construction of a tent to decorate it with fruits, paper garlands, pictures, with what we and engaged.

After the tent was constructed Alla Koroleva told, about a holiday Simkhat bein a shoeva, during which even the wise men had fun, as small children. Rabban Shimon Ben Gamliel that day took eight burning torches and juggled with them. Well and we with the guys and adults decided to "juggle" with balloons. Even we arranged competitions: what team will throw faster ballons and will keep spheres of the opponent. It was not so easily to make because of a wind. But we coped. The director of Hesed Helena Dmitriyeva handed over all participants gifts.

Then there was quiz " Whether you Know traditions of Sukkoth?" which winners became Maxim Butchenko and Maxim Smerichinsky.

And then - cheerful feast and competition on the best product of culinary art, which winner became Arina Kou.

In second time gathered all community members. Like amicable family, led by the chief of Hesed set off to travel. Having reached, constructed a tent and decorated it. The spirit of a holiday hovered in air, it was cheerful, only wind reminded to us about severities and tests, fell to the lot of the Jewish people.

Active and fervent Alla Koroleva arranged competitions. Everybody got huge pleasure. By the culmination became delivery of prizes and rich table.
