This year the Community of Taldy-Kurgan City celebrated Rosh-Ha-Shannah
on 23 September.
About 40 people came to celebrate the Holiday according to Jewish tradition;
14 of them were the clients of Almaty Hesed Polina (they are served by
the Hesed-On-Wheels Program), the rest of the people were young people
and middle-age people.
Alexander Matushkin prepared the program of the Holiday and compered
it. The meeting started from the pray dedicated to the Holiday and then
Alexander told about celebration of Rosh-Ha-Shannah according to Tradition.
The student of "Ulpan" sang some songs about Rosh-Ha-Shannah
and a fancy group performed a sketch about the creation of the first man.
We always read that chapter in Torah because Jewish calendar starts from
the date Adam was born.
The table was laid according to Tradition. The patriarch of Taldy-Kurgan
Community Mazover made a speech in Russian and Yiddish; he wished everybody
Happy and Sweet New Year. And everybody tried delicious traditional apples
with honey.
