The quiz "From Time Immemorial" has finished. We have left behind our worries and concerns. Our finalists Simon Guretskiy and Pavel Rogachev returned home. The vacation ended, the guys went back to school but they will long remember the magical days spent in a warm city of Almaty.

"The main thing is not to win but to participate in the competition" - Simon Guretskiy said when he returned to Hesed "Ephraim". Pavel Rogachev added that the whole year he would carefully study the tradition to be able to present city of Petropavlovsk in the best way next time.

Our current finalists and all children - participants of the quiz are eager to enhance the training and win exciting competitions on tradition next year.

We would like to express our gratitude to the organizers for all their efforts. Our children were given the unique opportunity to see one of the most beautiful cities of Kazakhstan - Almaty, meet old friends and make new ones!

All the children of Petropavlovsk Jewish community, who did not make it to the finals, were treated with a delicious cake and diplomas of participants that were presented to them in a festive atmosphere on Sunday. Of course, it was a little sad that they did not become finalists but it will be a stimulus for growth next year!
