PESACH KOSHER V'SAMEACH!

  Petropavlovsk Community gathered to celebrate Pesach on 31 of March in the Central City School. Volunteers had decorated the hall and there were kearas with traditional food set on every table to conduct Seder: beits, karpas, zroa, haroset, hazaret and maror. Also there was a box of matzoth and 3 pieces of matzoth with napkins between them, bottles of red wine and mineral water; and children table was laid with grape juice and fruit. By tradition mark Vitkin the Chairman of JCNC celebrated the participants (about 200 people). Then Svetlana Makarovskaya - JCC Director read the large number of letters of congratulations received from other Communities, friends and colleagues and told about the holiday itself. Seder was started after the candle lightening and reading prayers (Klara Semykina). Lev Kuntarovskiy Director of Religious Center and Igor Zhigarlovskiy - volunteers of Community Center conducted it classically. And despite the most people have not ever been at Seder before they perceived very seriously. After reading prayers and Pesach Agada vocal group 'Shalom" performed songs "Manishtana", "Dayenu", "Had-Gadyu".

  After the meals the violinists and guitar players continued the musical theme and played potpourri on popular Jewish songs and the audience welcomed them very warmly.

  And the quiz dedicated to Pesach passed without any embarrassment; and every person who gave correct answer got a prize.

  The program of holiday included inflammatory dances and Jewish melodious songs. And the last 50-60 people left home after midnight because they really wanted to spend more time with their soul mates.
