The Hanukkah celebrating in Hesed of Astana for children became some kind of check of the knowledge which they get during seminars on Jewish traditions.

And Michael Krejchman after the introductory story about a Hanukkah suggests children to become participants of a precept and customs connected with candles, to touch the spiritual Light. The blessing words of candles are said. Then candles are lit. And here they are Hanukkah fires. And, of course, there are hot traditional donuts (especially tasty in this thirty-degree frosty day).

And then next part of the holiday has followed: the quiz about Hanukkah. Questions are difficult enough, forced memory to work. Certainly, organizers of the holiday understood that there are children as participants, and for each right answer there is a prize, a chocolate coin. A superprize is for one who collected the largest number of «tasty prizes».

All participants of a meeting were carried away by the creative command work connected with attributes of the holiday. Girls have shared secrets from the Jewish kitchen to prepare latkes, donuts. draniks, fritters.

The same day results the last quiz «From time immemorial …». There was the Analysis and delivery of certificates, gifts. We make photos for memory and for photoalbums of Hesed.

Each participant of the holiday goes home with small Hanukkia, a shred of Hanukkah light.
