We hope our children who visited Hesed and actively participated in community life summer vacation was good! Vacation has turned out very sated and interesting: the festival in Karaganda, a trip to the Bayan-Aul, concerts and performances on city actions, creative workshops, literary drawing rooms, volunteer work, interesting projects and even unusual lessons.

Children who study in Israel arrived for holidays: Xenia Petrova and Denis Karapuzov. From the very first days they actively got into gear. They organized unusual lessons of Hebrew - lessons without teachers. And already after several lessons our children could exchange phrases in Hebrew, write simple offers.

There were also interesting lessons of tradition on which children were not only listeners, but also active participants of process - they talked, sketched fragments from history of the Jewish people, dramatized small plots. Has continued the work project «And tell to the grandson». Little girls and boys visited our dear pensioners not empty-handed - they baked pies, cookies. And then they listened to stories of elderly people’s life.

And before the academic year all of us amicably congratulated ours first graders on the beginning of their new adult life. The children have prepared a performance with verses, competitions and songs.

New academic year has begun! And we very much hope that it will be successful for our children because they have spent the summer vacations with advantage not only for themselves, but also for our Jewish community.
