The Jewish Young People Forum has been held in Almaty for several years. Young leaders from our city has always participated in it. This time (as usual) we felt at home - everybody was very friendly. It was a great pleasure to meet our old friends and make new ones.

We are very grateful to the organizers as we have learned a lot of new things. We particularly liked psychological trainings held by Irina Zaltsman. After we came back to our Hesed, we told our community members about the trip, shared our impressions, and certainly, tried to teach them what we had learned.

We would like to thank again all the organizers of this wonderful Forum, our sponsors, and, particularly, Alexander Baron because we learned a lot about the country we live in and about beautiful Israel, traditions and religion and many other things. And mostly important, we feel that with every Forum we grow up and become real leaders.
