Tasks of a forum included elections of new Board of youth and scheduling for one year. Three days of a forum were scheduled literally on minutes. The sated program included discussions and trainings, reports on the done work and presentation. The large attention on a forum was given to questions of tolerance, interethnic world and interconfessional unity.

The head of representation of the World Jewish agency "Sokhnut" in Kazakhstan Joseph Lebovitch showed to all gathered film "Israel without war" and answered questions of youth.

- I wish to new Board of Youth, that it was good together for them, - told Joseph Lebovitch, - Because when to the people it is good together, then there is a common idea, obligation, concept, belief. I wish, that they worked well together, that they had much common. Because when there is something common, love to the business and feeling that they concern to a community, become stronger. The Jewish community paid great attention to education of youth. The seminars under the program Young leadership were repeatedly carried out. The leaders "brought up" by a community were included in Board of youth in 2006. In May, 2007 Board at support of the Centre "Rimon", organization "Joint" and Association "Mitsva" carried out the first forum of the Jewish Youth of Kazakhstan. In December, 2007 - second.


- The community is that place, where each young man can realize himself, - the President of Association of the Jewish national organizations "Mitsva" Alexander Baron noted, - Here he can find the niche, find what he is interested near those like him. A task of new Board is to define strategy and tactics of the work, but most important is to define with the purposes and tasks.

According to a rule Board of the Jewish Youth was elected for three years, which now came to the end. Having united efforts, the youth of Kazakhstan not only had chosen new Board, but also tried to answer questions how to attract in a community of the new people, and how to help community members to be realized in personal undertakings, whether it is science, sports or business.
