Every Friday volunteers of our Hesed get together, light candles, pray. But we will especially remember the last Shabbat.

Director of Hesed Albina Ruban awarded the most active volunteers with a retreat trip. Our weekly Torah readings, organized by Belyakova, were held in the resort "Builder".

We could only dream of such a trip. Everybody loved walks through the autumn woods, wonderful nature, a light frost, and such a nice "little thing" as tasty meals. Kruzhkova was particularly grateful. She came to Semey already at a retirement age when it is difficult to find new friends, and her circle of communication was limited only to family. Our meetings become a real salvation for the soul for Lydia Dmitrievna.

We never forget to greet new members of the Jewish community. Aronova visited our Shabbat for the first time and decided to become a regular volunteer.

We will remember this joyful trip for a long time.
