The second day of festival is probably, the most exciting for participants. After all in the second day viewing of all numbers prepared by our ensembles is spent. Not all numbers will get to "ending", not all will shine from the big scene at gala concert, and certainly, children try, that from their city as much as possible performances have got to the basic program.





How to achieve it? Certainly, to "give all the best". Since the morning — right after a breakfast the marathon begins. Almaty opens, continues Taraz, Petropavlovsk, Kokshetau... All twelve cities, and numbers at everyone up to ten! To hardly judges, it is hard to choose best of the best. Bad at festival simply isn't present, is good and very good.





Sing and dance, combine that and another — traditional Jewish dances, such as "Tumbalalajka" and «Shalom aleihem» alternate with modernized, modern, and songs sound in Hebrew, English, Russian and, of course, Kazakh languages, after all we are not only members of the Jewish community, but also inhabitants of Republic Kazakhstan. Age of participants is also different — from the small, singing about Malvina to adults with tragic dance-pantomime about the Holocaust. Karaganda " lits" with dancing number on old motive "Bagels"... The real inhabitants of Odessa directly in the middle of Karaganda!



Certainly, children worry. Who has passed in "ending", who will go tomorrow to city center on gala concert becomes known only in the evening. But after a dinner preview is ended, however children had another things to do. Divided into groups, they comprehend new heights of dancing skill under the direction of the teacher Dana Lifanova who has specially been invited for carrying out mastterclasses. And other half of children under the direction of center "Shoresh" discuss on themes Jewry. What were given by Jews to world culture? Whether have changed the world? Whether all Jews necessarily are rich, and whether, at last, it is necessary to "be put out"? Adults join active workers. Whether is their opinion true in ultimate authority? Everyone decides for himself…

Day of participants of festival is painted on minutes, of course, but there is time and for game in table tennis, and on "correspondence" - an innovation of this year — boxes with names of cities and names where everyone can lower a note for any another. At festival «Freilehe Kinder» not only sing and dance, much more important here is created — the friendship here is fastened and develops, here children and youth from the Jewish communities of all cities of Republic Kazakhstan truly become a single whole.
