More than 200 people from all cities of Kazakhstan and even the neighboring countries gather to plunge into the atmosphere of the Jewish spirit, to feel creative, bright, talented to show everything for what prepared within a year.

They began work with children by dividing them into the senior and younger group and making training "Acquaintance" which, certainly was useful, after all though many already know each other not the first year, but each time there are beginners. Besides this training helped children not only to get acquainted and formulating the hopes of a festival, but also to make the team — for example, with it the senior group was helped by exercise "Mechanism" where everyone should become "small screw" of this mechanism.
